anything that i'll have to ground will be a nut n bolt and i'll clean the metal on the inside of the wall. only things that will be mounted on the wall should be the ignition ballast resistor and the coil....i think :)

the mount up front is like stock, but i plated the front and back of it and then cut a opening in it for a wrench to fit in. now the bolt goes in from the bottom and the nut is on the inside of the mount ( page 10 has a pic of the new mounts)

Ok I have to ask what did you use for seam sealer around the bottom of the bbw addition to the cab ? I ask this as I will be doing the same thing to my uni and yours turned out nice and smooth which is what I want when I get mine to that point .

the inside and the outside part hidden under the trim are a 3m sealer. i'll have to look at the tube tonight for exact name and part number. we taped the lines and used a finger ( w/ rubber glove) to smooth out the bead. let it tack then pulled the tape.

the outside part of the b piller is mud.... rage gold to be exact.

Nice crew cab...I kinda like that Lincoln front end, obviously you weren't fond of it

thanx, i was indifferent on the frontend.... but i got the truck knowing the front end needed love, the conversion fenders were cracking and pretty wavy ( fiber glass) they took a decent picture but in person werent all that great.
i was able to pick up everything to swap it back stock for lil over 200 bux so i felt like that was the "easier" route and instead of blending the paint we're just gunna reshoot the whole truck. has a few blems here and there from driving and all.
