I think that you might want to put a bungee cord on the hood before you drive it. Other than that let's go for a ride.

I did burnouts in the street with mine without fenders or glass in the truck. I had to sit on a bucket. It was a lot of fun.

good job Chris

hung the front clip today. still needs some adjustment. in fact i might have to shim the drivers side cab mount to bring it up level. according to my measurements they should be at the right height, but i'll have to do some tweaking to see what's up.

this side needs to come forward some. the door hits the back of the fender when you open it.

we need some major adjustments here:

look at that core support!

Chris, did you get new cab rubbers? If not yet your old ones could be squished. You could also maybe use Charlie's cab rubber trick he did on his Uni, seeings as you cut them yourself you can adjust the thickness - that's what I will be doing on mine. Should be plenty of materiel in one to make new rears too.

either way, i'll see ya there anthony.
greg, i used new rubbers, but i have no idea how thick the originals were as mine were missing when i bought the truck. there were just some one bys holding up the cab.
if anyone can tell me how thick original cab mount rubbers are i would appreciate it.

Chris, my little mate!, I would only be happy to tell you the size considering the help you have been to me over the years!, and not once have you asked for anything in return!, a fine quality not often seen these days, and to this quest of yours I can only say! with true happiness in my heart at this chance to help such a great friend in his time of need, the answer you seek is 22mm......

or 7/8"

thanks alan. that's what they measure out to.
got the russians next door to help slap the bed back on. i still need to get the bed bolts for it.
got the fenders adjusted better and most stuff snugged down and lined up.
the hood latched for the first time since i have owned the truck.
found the j-nuts i needed at o'rielly.
the grille is just test fitted and not bolted in yet. still need to get the stone guard bolted up.

Looks great!! Painted or the patina on it, that's gonna be a sweet truck..

Wagon wheels are not my favorite, and I know not yours also, but they look good on it...

Not sure why but I can see someone falling off the edge of that concrete, but not spilling any beer..

Looking good. I wish I could tear mine apart and put it back together like that.

Alan Mclennan · Post by **Alan Mclennan** » October 26, 2009, 1:58 am

Mmmm, those red wheels kind of suit it!

Post by **Greg D** » October 26, 2009, 5:41 pm

That front clip alignment is pretty good buddy. She sure does have alot of character. Looking real good. Aside from bed bolts (quick stop at LMC for you) how far from driver is she?

ezernut9mm · Post by **ezernut9mm** » October 26, 2009, 8:09 pm

still need to be wired, brake lines run, kingpins, windshield, some more floor rust fixed. a couple hours work at least. lol
