Truck is looking great George, I really like the Kubota Orange color. The bed looks super straight and shiny.

check back every once in a while. I do try and do something even if it is wrong.

gdavis · 01-12-2014, 05:40 PM

Well, I got the front panel cartiage bolts installed. The bolts were too long. I had to cut the bolts off so they did not get in the way if I wanted to wash between the bed and cab in the future.

I had some bad rotor studs and installed new ones.

Looking very nice, George! It's looking really good now, with the parts all coming together. You're an inspiration to do a little bit each day, eventually it all gets done.

Thanks. I am waiting on weather to paint the cab. It has been raining a lot down here in Fl.

gdavis · 01-13-2014, 07:17 PM

Today I recieved some more parts. Two brake lines that run from the master cly to the port valve. I tried to use advance auto brake lines. But they did not bend like the oem. so now I will replace the ones I bent.
(2) door seals. How I need a seal for the rear glass. (large) If any of you guys have one that you didn't use plz contact me.

gdavis · 01-14-2014, 10:30 AM

gdavis · 01-16-2014, 11:28 AM

Thanks a lot there guys. I wll be installing a rebuilt steering column soon.

gdavis · 01-18-2014, 11:03 AM

I did pull my steering column off the truck. I got it ready for shipment to a guy that said he could make it work right.
also ordered a rear window seal. Now I have all my glass seals, so when I get her painted I can install the glass. any tips on this?????????/

gdavis · 01-18-2014, 09:03 PM

I removed the doors so I could sand and prime the doors easier. I can also shoot some color on the doors in my shop. I will be ahead of the game this way.
Here is the picture of the cab with doors removed.

The project looks great! BTW It looks like you haave a 72 driver side door (screw hole by vent window). I have had to do the opposite in the past and cut and welded a patch with the screw when using 68-71 doors on a 72
