No problem Ryan, glad to help. We had the teamwork going too...:).. If I had the magic touch I would have had them install themselves... Yep, just jump right in there..:lol:

I can tell you his truck is looking really good.

This ^ Not going to happen. These lights seal really well, so I'm not worried about them leaking. I want clearance lights on it, I like these lights, they're going on. Yes some people won't like them, and I can care less. Some people cry because it is a diesel. You can't please everyone and I sure am not trying to please anyone with this truck build except myself.

Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
 

Thanks Leon! How's those 2nd story floors going?

Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
 

the more I look at that color orange the more I like it.

Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
 

Thanks, me too.

Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
 

I'm digging the cab lights, what are they off of? I'm looking for some for my burb, the tint also makes them blend a little bit and they won't be as obvious once the rest of the truck is assembled.

Andrew, they are from a 03 up dodge and are recons. I love how these lights illuminate too. They are LED and look sweet! Plus the fit the roof really well.

Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
 

I like the roof lights my self..

Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
 

I have never really liked the clearance lights, but those actually look pretty cool on there! Looking good Ryan, keep at it! Do you have an up close picture of the lights?

Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
 

keep it up Ryan! shes gonna be an orange on orange beauty!

Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
 

Now it just needs a big set of chrome air horns up there. :metal:

Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
 

yeah!!!!! :sumo:

Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
 

dont forget the cb antenna's on the mirrors and stacks in the bed

Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
 

Or a big pair of rubber balls hanging from the hitch. Now that would be classy.

Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
 

:lol:That started at the top and quicky went to the bottom:lol:

Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
 

I can get some close ups for you.

Thanks buddy!

Not going to happen!

Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
 

Let's get this straight, I like the cab lights. If you don't, simply don't look at this thread anymore. I also like stacks on certain trucks so if that was a slam to trucks with stacks, you failed. The rubber balls is a definite hell no! Same with hick sticks!

Yes it did!

Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
 

I'll just say that I love the truck! I may not be a big fan of the cab lights but its not my truck so that minor detail doesn't really matter to me. Keep on with all the great work ryan!

Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
 

Dude......

For what it's worth dude....it's looking great ...and you can tow my truck behind yours anyday....lol. You have me thinking of building some kinda torque monster to pull my trailer and prostreet truck now. Keep up the good work your making progress and it's looooooooooooking good.

Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
 

I hear that. I sat the fire hat style on it and decided they didn't look right to me because they're every where. :lol:

Thanks. I did manage to get the RH door assembly under way today. Got the regulator cleaned and lubed, got the new to it window installed, put the new door handle gaskets on and polishedthe door handles. I was at my local chevy parts guy's place today and I almost purchased new door handles. But every trip there nets me at least $100-$200 each time for small stuff. So I decided to lay low with these and live with them until later on. I had to pick up new felt track for the vent windows. I'll get those installed and take pics tomorrow.

Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
 

I didn't mean any disrespect towards your build. Just thought it would go with the whole diesel theme. Very nice work so far, been following this build since I got on here.

Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
 

I didn't think you did man, it's all good. :lol:

Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
 

was just janking the chain a bit ..... if you look at the little avatar you see the type of wheels i have for my truck...... there 22,5 inch truckwheels with are machined to take 22 inch car tires and fit 8 lug hubs with adapters
if you would use the stock trailerrims and tires and a set of those adapters on youre truck the would go for a loooooooong time untill there worn , only thing there huge

Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
 

Those would look cool, but I'm afraid they're out of my bidget for a while. I plan on some aluminum wheels, but first I want to get it running and driving. I still have a couple big ticket items to purchase before I can get it running.

Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
 

Progress pics, not much but some. :lol: RH door is almost done. Let me tell you, some of this weatherstripping stuff should come with some instructions. I got it figured out, but boy was it nerve wracking cutting new parts. :) Thanks again Leon for the help on this! I think i'll be buying some other lock rod covers. I'm not real keen on how high these I got sit.

Today I had a pleasant surprise waiting for me................................................. My transmission is back already! I did some trading with my friend that I get my manual trans parts from, and they did a super fast job. It's officially now a 98 up NV4500HD. Has all the upgrades, along with a billet big input shaft, and cast iron tail housing. now I'll have to decide what hydros I want to run, and get my clutch here.
