Re: Cubber's Build Thread

We also made a mounting plate for my airbag controls and radio. I had another buddy who came up with this concept, and I really like it so far. We are doing a test run to see if we neeg to change it any before we weld, grind and paint it. Also put on my $10 ebay seat cover!

Re: Cubber's Build Thread

Of course I was excited to drive my truck with all these new bells and whistles, but as it was sitting outside warming up, there was a loud POP and antifreeze went all over. The swivel water neck I got off of ebay flew apart!

Luckily, there was an old neck in the shop, so we stuck it on , and I was able to have my drive, finally!

Re: Cubber's Build Thread

The wheels look sweet Matt. The water neck blowing really sucks though. Hopefully you can get that fixed pretty quick and take her for a spin.
