Being a business owner I can't collect unemployment. Rough times are brewing here unfortunately. I'm trying to stay positive and working on my truck helps me cope with my anxiety over all this Covid crap.

Thank you!

Yes this sucks for everyone but especially for the ones that have to actually stop work with no way to recoup. Maybe the stimulus will help a little???

I had a chance to put a little bling on! Thought I would share a quick pic.

Oh yeah

Nice touch, I like your fender badges! Had some custom badges made for my truck as well at a local machine shop.

I was able to get a few things on the truck for the final time (I hope).

One bad thing is I had to order a new lock kit as I cant seem to find the door locks. I think they were taken when my stuff was stolen and I didn't get them back....

I also got the wing window delete kit and power window regulator kit in the driver door. I did not really like the side mirrors I had bought sometime back so I have to get a different style before I put the window in the door as it will be tough to get back there once the window is in. More to come....

Looks good man. What power window kit did you go with?

I went with the NuRelics kit. A little pricey but they are really nice and heavy. I ordered them specially made for the one piece window kit.

[Richard]

Like to hear what you think about the one piece side glass. Was considering going that route myself but have read negatives about the conversion in the past. I have the NuRelics power window kit myself. Are you using the NuCrank switches as well?

Good morning Richard.
I went with the brothers kit. The other kit on the market has a lot of alterations to the door. So far the kit installed nice I just have to install the glass but need to get my mirrors installed first.
I didn’t go with the NuCrank switches because it only controls one side. I went with the machined double switch on the driver and single on the pass.
As for the negatives I read it’s the floppy feel when the window is at 50%. My painter has these installed as well and the window does move a little. But he has the original regulator and the NeRelics are much stronger plus I want to add a glass brace off a convertible car. It will ride on the glass for support at 50%. We wil see.
So much little stuff going on.
I will post pictures soon.

I went the NuCrank switches. Got the harness for passenger control. It just adds another standard switch to the drivers side to control the passenger. Probably just going to wire in a small toggle that will transfer control to the drivers door switch. Kind of like a power side mirror control.

I was going to do the same but at the last minute I changed my mine. I want to do something custom to the door panel and kinda hide the switched in the arm rest or something!

I am not sure if anyone has heard of Mikes Billet Mirrors. I was looking for a nice simple mirror or something no long or stuck out since I have the one piece side windows.

I plan to move them forward since the wing window is gone. The height of the mirror is 5.5” I think it will give a sporty look but bulky enough for the 4x4 look. We will see this week when they come in.
Also these are “Made in the USA”. Texas actually. The guy has a interesting story also. Here is his Facebook page

Are the hinges from something like suicide door hinge kit?

[First c10]

Yes the kit is an Autoloc suicide door hinge kit. I also have the Autoloc Bear Claw Latch kit.
I will install the latch kit after I build the covered box inside the bed.

Really cool bed mod. Brings back memories of The Fall Guy. One of my favorite shows in my youth. That truck had the hinged storage compartments.

10-4 Richard! That's where the idea came from.... I always loved that truck mod!
