Re: "Rice Rocket'
Put a piece of trim on by using existing holes and some screws. Really makes me wanna order clips lol I think it looked GREAT with the trim..
Washed the truck today, tested my tach dash IT WORKS! Fixed my exhaust hanger (they sit level now), was in the proces of fixing my licence plate lamp, and cut the snot outta my hand with needlenose pliers. Right in the palm! Asked some old woman about her sons 72 swb fleetside sitting in the woods (droped spindles/other good parts) she said its not for sale but come back some other time (he was sick). I talked to him before and hope he will sell/parts off of it

Re: "Rice Rocket'
It was really inspiring. I think im going to get some scrap sheetmetal maybe tomorow and get the welder dialed in for hole fillign (orange bed has lots of 72 trim holes). May even take it down to bare metal (has some filler around tailight area) pull the dent and paint baby blue rustoleum)?
Yeah I think im going to buy the 3-4 trim clips for that front piece of trim and slowly start putting it on, it'll motivate me). I'll have to dril holes in the bed for the 68 trim...yikes
