Painted the tailgate, fitting the bed (in primer) tomorrow so I can drill the wood bed. Then remove and paint and reassemble.

colgad · 11-25-2013, 12:00 AM

My camera phone makes it look bigger than it is.

mud.man.rj · 11-25-2013, 12:04 AM

I'm with you Mag, shop looks a lot bigger than mine, nice.

jbassC10 · 11-25-2013, 12:05 AM

In stalled the New LMC tailgate! Painful-for the first time, but with wisdom from the wise on this forum, everything is possible!

Check out my profile and see the success as of now, of the entire front and rear Brake Swap out! 4/6 drop is ordered and in the mail! California to Arkansas!

jbassC10, have you had your truck on the road much. Haven't seen it around Russellville. Thought I'd seen most of them. Nice looking truck. Jim

OregonNed · 11-25-2013, 04:49 PM

I just went out yesterday in the carport and checked the dryer sheets and made sure no vagrant rodents were setting up shop..

VWNate1 · 11-25-2013, 06:19 PM

Remember to change those dryer sheets every month or you'll get an unpleasant surprise....

I just came back from running errands in my stalling out C/10 W/ 250 I6 & TH350 , two footing it through dense L.A. traffic isn't my idea of fun .

I stopped to fill the tank and did a fuel economy check ~G , not bad for an old clapped out pickup truck .

I removed all the trim (moulding) from the fender I bought from Jeremiah King. (It came off amazingly easy). Then I ran it over to the body shop to fix the UPS damage.

Redid the door panels in my truck a few days ago.

Also installed road kill inside the doors while I had them a part!

Tell any difference Andy?

**Razorbacker** · 11-26-2013, 11:52 AM

I got my Aux Battery system working on my longhorn. A big thanks to Roger Koop for the harness, fits and works great. Now I have 12V power at the back of the truck via the camper harness.

lyrikz · 11-26-2013, 12:23 PM

I sold it.

harrydunn · 11-26-2013, 12:44 PM

Replaced my non-functioning AM radio.

magwakeenercew2jh · 11-26-2013, 09:52 PM

Played with glove box stuff while I wait for the new alt.

Nice day. So I was also under the hood cleaning up a little.

In the mail came some faux leather sheeting.

I'm trying to figure out if I want to match the cluster by getting a *real* chrome glove box and covering the center with an insert of this stuff, or just stop all the madness and paint it the color of the dash.

AKChevyman · 11-26-2013, 10:39 PM

I installed the Air tank and compressor on the Frame. Tomorrow I am going to try and mount the Solenoids. Then it is on to Routing the air lines.

bbcmudtruck · 11-26-2013, 11:11 PM

I finally got my c-notch cut and bolted into place. The new bed arrives tomorrow!

vectorit · 11-26-2013, 11:37 PM

Picked up a cherry H052 4.10 ratio 3rd member with it's axle shafts.

Big step forward in getting my burb more highway friendly, by swapping out my 4.57 3rd member for the 4.10's.

heathbirkendahl · 11-27-2013, 01:52 AM

Picked up my bench seat.

Bravo!
