This truck I'm looking at is a 98 shortbed, ext cab, 2wd 5 speed cummins with 270k. Gonna try to get it for around 2500 but he said he would take 3k. Guess we will see...

Not that I could tell. I just thought you had good taste.

Troy, you said you would need bumpers or stops when you got ready to hang the doors for transport.

Are you referring to the round plug-like stops or the around-the-rim door weatherstrip? Have you ordered/received them yet?

I ask because I am ordering some rubber stuff and wondered what to/not to order.

Where did you get your rubber from,LMC? If so/not were you OK with what you did order, ie did installation go OK?

Dave.

I've got the door bumpers (round plugs) picked them up with inner fenders. My door seals were from lmc. I would recommend when you put the seals on set them in the sun first... They are tight!

Got the interior of the cab done and fenders finalized I hope! Between the storms and lack of sleep in the lastv few days Im spent...

Yeah, well I did lend my idea of using 2 engine stands with a little modification to make a rotiserie.

For me it would have been necessary even for a one-off. Having to sand overhead would have put me down for a week. Working on the floor likewise. But there was a time....

Looking good and getting close. See ya Thursday.

Dave.

Sounds good Dave. Hopefully I'll have at least one door repaired if the parts come in today or tomorrow.

Just about got the drivers door done. I am going to make two small patches at work for the corners on the outside skin. Couldn't see paying $40 a side for just a couple corners... Ill see ya tomorrow.
