Rochlow · 06-16-2012, 10:54 PM

i'm not sure. we fought it all morning and it works good. there weren't to mant options.

gofast68c20 · 06-18-2012, 02:46 PM

Any chance you could get more up close pictures of how you did the steering shaft? I'm in the process of doing the same thing but need some ideas. Thanks in advance!

THANKS SAM! its 5:45am and we are headed to the sign shop this am. firewall is dialed in. they went out a little further out on the jams than i wanted. nothing the buffer can't burn back through. sandblasted the inner cab corners and kick areas and everything was good. hopefully she can get another 45years. once again thanks sam and delmo.

IT WOULD BE CHEAPER AND EASIER TO CHANGE MINE OR ONE OF MY SONS NANES TO ANGELO THAN STRIP THESE DOORS! sorry, had to get that off my chest. a big reason i bought this truck is because of the patina. i waited 10+ weeks to get the doors stripped and lettered. friday i get a call to check out the stripped doors. the ghost of angelo was everywhere. next decide to spot in doors with lacquer. great, but you cant buy it anywhere near me anymore. thanks epa. road trip, match color and run to body shop again. hopefully we can fix it so it looks untouched, then back to the sign shop. been a stressful week!!
