Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Dropped my truck off at the body shop this morning so they can do some paint matching for the driver door, front fender, bed fender grille, cowl and bed steps that they will be painting. All body work is complete and the parts have been epoxy primed. They should be spraying the color either tomorrow or Monday. I have been waiting since October (dropped the parts off in early January), so I'm pretty excited to get these parts back.

You truck looks great! And so does the scenery in the background.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Installed rear shocks, which was fun. Not. Odd fasteners, where one nut actually was nearly split in half and the bolts were way too short at 2 inches in length. So I replaced the lower shock Grade 5 hardware with Grade 8 that I got a Lowe's.
Now I think the shocks will stay on and I'll not be bust'n a nut ;-) Seeing that I had soooo much fun with the rears, I am not really looking forward to the fronts. This is because I have to deal with OEM shocks where the upper stud is apart of the shock itself. Plus, if I need more Grade 8 bolts, I got the last two from Lowes! I can't remember the last time Lowes hardware section had their bins full.

No, it’s from Eckler’s. It’s one for a car, so it’s angled wrong and a bit short on the sideS, but a touch of CA glue and it seems solid enough. Time’ll tell.
I can’t believe there isn’t one made for these trucks. Posted via Mobile Device |

No, it’s a non-tilt. It just doesn’t fit securely. First time it falls out I’m going to give some thought to how to get it in nice and tight, but I’ve been driving her quite a bit and it’s still in position. It’s not there for me, it’s in there for my wife and whoever else might use it. |

Put my door panels back on, now that they are repainted and got the new faux wood panel.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Just about finished the console . All the lights are wired up and working just need the snow to melt to get the 72 out of the barn . The blue looks much brighter in the picture than real life.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
I would need your truck for measurements about 3 months would be the turn around .
![]() But really it needs to be fitted to seat position and seat height. This will fit the 72 but not the 68 as I lowered the 72 seat and put it all the way back

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Replaced the stuck headlight switch and got an interesting result. Every light on my truck is significantly brighter and my headlight relays engage with a good, solid click. Not sure why this happened but I'm very happy with the result. Cheers!

Installed the high hump pan for the transmission install in the future. Rivet nuts are awesome fasteners.

Hey Rich, nice to see that your daughter likes your truck! A lot of young folks couldn't care less.
