So does this mean you are out of the rented garage or do you still have more to do there?

Good to hear. That was a good chunk of your truck funds going into the large storage unit rental fees.

Truck is looking great. Hope you get the bed back soon.

i cant do the windshield until the chip in the pillar is fixed...

77chris03 · 06-18-2012, 10:56 PM

tried to actually get something done on the truck tonite...i had to take off the passenger door panel to reverse the wires on the motor but found it a heck of a lot easier to just flip the terminal on the switch...voila!! also i put this stuff similar to the factory stuff behind the door panel. guess it was there for anti rattle....hope it works.!!

also tried to realign the door latch so the door would shut easier, but with the rubber being new and not 100% broke in, i think i got it as good as its gonna get until the body man gets the truck back for touch up, etc...
