Looks like a great fit.

Did you find the hardware you needed? I totally forgot to look for those pieces I have somewhere.

Thanks Mike, yeah I robbed the hardware out of an old rusty gate I had. The tailgate fits pretty good, the driver side is perfect, the passenger side is pushing out about 1/4" at the top. I need to work on adjusting that a little more but overall I'm very happy with it.

Thanks Rus, call me crazy but I'm really digging the satin black these parts come in. I know they have to be painted to prevent rust but I dig the color

Thanks buddy, have to say I'm happy with these aftermarket panels. Everything fit really well except the hood.

Tailgate looks Great👍! Way cool it fits good.. I know if it didn't, you would have worked your magic..

jeh · 04-25-2014, 09:52 PM

Glad you're tailgate fit good. I had to do a little fine tuning on mine but it turned out good also. That satin black seems to be getting the best of ya

Thanks Mark, I'm just glad I don't have to cut it up to make it fit, I'm over that

Thanks Jason, it just looks sinister to me, don't think I can actually pull the trigger on it. At least I wouldn't have to worry about cutting and buffing if I did it

Bennett68C10 · 04-25-2014, 10:12 PM

Got a little Birthday love from my beautiful wife today. Guess she is telling me something with the Durablock kit

I need to start bodywork

sduckworth13 · 04-25-2014, 10:29 PM

Happy day late birthday. Post plenty of pics when you start the body work

jeh · 04-26-2014, 10:13 PM

Happy late birthday also. Looks like its time to start getting ready for some paint...

mcbassin · 04-26-2014, 11:21 PM

Looks like you have been a good boy to score those gifts for Bday. Very nice

**GSFMECH** · 04-27-2014, 01:04 AM

Greata Bday present and I love the build...I've been watching it for awhile.

resto newbie · 04-27-2014, 07:13 AM

Nice wife you have there!

jlsanborn · 04-27-2014, 10:43 AM

Truck parts make GREAT presents! Can't wait to see some dust coming off them sanding blocks

sduckworth13 · 04-27-2014, 07:59 PM

Don't know how I miss the tailgate fitment, but I'm definitely happy for you that it fits perfect. Looks like the Tri-plus gate is a winner.

Thanks man, I really love your truck too. The addition of the Polished Coys really set it off.

Yeah I've lucked out pretty good with these aftermarket panels. Everything fit good except the hood, which fits good now

mikeleeshields · 04-28-2014, 12:59 PM

Gotcha a keep there. Now she would really be the best if she got out there and started block sanding for you, lol
