Ahhhhhh, but mine will be shortly! Now that I have finally found tires for the rear!

[WillieloRidez]

Well i started working on the interior of the crew yesterday and its turning into a snowball effect. I was going to just pull out the seats and install the new carpet but i found some pin holes of rust starting so i might as well fix that while im in there. All of the seat belts are blue so i might as well put black ones in it while im there, the truck needs a steering column so now is a good time to do that, and while the steering column and everything else is out i might as well paint the interior the color i want. Its never ending lol

How much was the new carpet? I know mine will need it.

Thanks jhogan830. Here is a new bed i bought for it yesterday from a salvage yard my buddy owns. It was perfect until they ran into it with the fork lift, Gonna be an easy fix and i have to add a gas door on the pass side

[WillieloRidez]

Had to move my other 58 out to get the mower so i took some pics

[justpball]

DUDE i would bag that 58 and leave it just the way it is!!! I love the barn find look!

[WillieloRidez]

No offense man but this is not your truck anymore and i am really getting tired of criticism from you about changing **** on it. I got another bed because for one i dont like the roll pan and think a crew can should have a rear bumper and for two i dont know what kind of filler is on the bed seeing as i did not do the work. Being a somewhat body guy i like to know what is underneath before i paint it.

Wow this is a sweet dually!!! Here is a sad pic I saw the other day of what could have been a good parts suburban. Use Searchtempest.com to find all craigslist parts in surrounding cities. I will check here in kansas city this weekend at the junkyard when I go huntin for misc things for my crewcab dually.

Hey Willie, as your body and paint guy.... I would recomend you bring that 2 door over and leave it at my house on a permanant stay! I agree with what your doing. The bed was cheap enough to insure you know whats under the paint and your right on with needing a bumper on a CC. Keep on it
