Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Glad you used those , most are too lazy to care .
They're easy to install : hold them in place , and bang the handle on with the palm of your other hand . I replaced these on my C/10 just because they were gone missing and I hate the drafts & rattles they prevent .

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
I got the dash pad replaced and new visors and rods installed. Will be putting my newly recovered door panels in tomorrow - along with new handles, cranks and arm rests.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
I got to spend a few minutes working on the truck. I replaced the shift indicator cable on my B&M shifter. It was a nice weekend here in CO. I tuned up the jeep, new plugs, wires, cap, rotor, fuel and air filter. Running like a champ now. I had to recharged the K&N air filter on my Toyota and replace the serpentine belt. Damn Toyota is made for tiny hands. Sure makes me appreciate the room I have in the truck. Watching the bronco game now. Go Manning.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Like the smaller mirrors, what are you going to do with old holes?

Re : Custom Paint
You Sir , have MAD skills ! . I remember in the 1970's when so many Los Angeles cars had this typ of paint , it was *very* labor intensive and often had the appearance of overlapping lines in it .
Kudos . -Nate

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Finally got it back in. Outside frame took hours of polishing... Planned on painting it originally. (Had it sanded)Brackets painted, headlights wired. Made some bumper bolts. (Watch your shins) Onto grille inserts now.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
for about the last 3 days I decided to try and clean up and paint the inside of the hood area. after scrubbing and masking and painting this is how it turned out, if every one remembers how nasty looking it was before , I hope they can see a big change....I sure think it looks better...a few pic's...
