I wouldn't think you would actually need to add anything to the fender lip like some folks do. I probably should have taken a picture heh.

Hey Mark,

Yes, a picture would have been good!

I am going to try it without any flares and see how it goes.

I have been getting some small stuff done. I had one manifold bolt broken off that I am working on getting out but it is giving me fits. Hopefully I will finish that up tomorrow. Got my new fuel filter installed so the fuel system is finally done. I think I will install the radiator tomorrow and figure out where I want to put the battery box. I moved it to the drivers side on the Panel Truck but I'm not sure I want to do that on this one.

I mowed the yard and used the weed trimmer yesterday. I have 3 acres so it takes me a while to do....

A deer was hit out in front of my place last night. It was a really big doe. I hooked on to it with a chain and drug it down to the bottom of the hill, about 100 yards west of me, and pushed it down in the ditch. I got up one morning a year or so ago and there was a dead one laying right in the middle of my driveway down by the road. We have a lot of them around here.
