Re: #3 The Sickness Continues
Hey Jeff,
Nice ride! I looked at that truck when I was looking for one. I almost purchased it, but then found mine the next day. I got lucky and was the first to look at mine, so I didn't hesitate... You did a sweet job on it. I like the ride height. I'm gonna have to drop mine a little more like yours. I need to get a radiator for mine and I'll have to take a trip to the East side and check out your rides in person :metal::metal: Tony Posted via Mobile Device Posted via Mobile Device |

Re: #3 The Sickness Continues
Looks good Jeff :metal:
Did you use the relay kit from LMC? I had my wifey get me one for Christmas and I just spent all day today installing it and trouble shooting because the lights were dimm unless I hit the high beams... After while, I figured out that they had the high beam wire and ground wire in the connector swapped on the outer two lamps which was powering up the ground... I should have just bought new lamp pigtails and wired it myself... I figured this would be the easy way out, but was wrong... Sorry for the rant, just wondering if you had the same kit and troubles. Great work, keep the pics coming ;) Tony Posted via Mobile Device |

OK, a weeks progress and I'm just about done with everything I want to do to this thing. Mounted the tool box up on 4'' stands so it has clearance underneath and is flush with the bed sides.
Today I took on the sway bar install. Cleaned it up and painted it gold. Why? Cuz I had 1/2 a can of gold hammertone:cool:.....picked up some new bushings and grade 8 bolts. Got going on this and ran into a PO's project. 1/4'' plate hoops on the front frame. This made drilling a real PITA. Yet once again, I managed to win out over the truck. |
Re: #3 The Sickness Continues
Looks good.
I like the gold sway bar! I bet it drives much better. |

Still plugging away!!! Pulled the tailgate and I am going for the fauxtina attempt to match the truck. Using all Rustoleum products.....fun anyway. Also started cleaning out the drip rail around the roof. I will add new seam sealer and then paint the roof.
What color do you think it should be?? I was leaning toward white but thought maybe silver, or metalflake white?? |
Re: #3 The Sickness Continues
So you had a fun time drilling did u.:lol: Damn I should have painted mine gold. I did know it made it handle better.;) Nice looking tailgate. What the hell were the hoops for?
|
Re: #3 The Sickness Continues
PRO...... Your truck is looking great! Those Rally wheels really set it off.

Drilling sucked. Everything was fine except for the front bolts thru those hoops. I have no idea what they were for.....:smoke: The gold paint keeps you from driving like an idiot and scraping it on stuff:lol: Quote:
Nobody has a color opinion??:uhmk: |
Re: #3 The Sickness Continues
I say a 1964 white.
Keep it looking stock. |
Re: #3 The Sickness Continues
Man, I'm really on the fence on the color. Silver keeps popping in my mind. my .02 ;)

Silver was my second idea. I like it a lot but the sun out here kills silver paint. It lead me to the middle of the road with a metallic white or flake clear over white......it's all for fun and practice!!:lol: |
Re: #3 The Sickness Continues
Nice driver!
