Re: Back from bodyshop
Danny did you use repro sheetmetal or found oem parts to repair with. The fit and finish looks really good. Wondering if bodyshop had to work repro sheetmetal alot to get to fit? Awesome truck. Love the looks of the polished grille and bumper up front. Looks good on that blue.

Re: Back from bodyshop
I just ran across this thread... Awesome looking truck. I was thinking of going with the Rod Doors door panels. I really like the panels and they look great in your truck but have heard of some issues with fastening the arm rests and had some concerns. Maybe you could let me put those fears to rest.
Thanks.

Re: Back from bodyshop
72cstc5- yes the doors are repops,the body shop did have to work pretty hard to get every thing to line up right. c10-driver -I had to cut off some of the front half of the door arm rest to get the door handle to go up and down a little tip for you fab it up first, before you finish the arm rests, I did not and had to cut it up after it was done...Danny

Re: Back from bodyshop
I knew that a truck that nice had to belong to a board member!!!! My brother-in law lives in Rose Hill and sent me a pic from the car show. He told me he visited with you for a while at the show. Let me know if you take it out for any local shows. I'de like to get a first hand look at it.
