Re: What did you do to your truck today!

I decided to redo the kick panels in black and finished the Air ride gauge/switch panel with ostrich and formed side panels to hide gauges and wiring. Also blasted the glove box door and hinges then powder coated.
I love this look better. Really finished the interior.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!

On my tow truck I swapped the later plastic rectangle lights on the boom tower with 67-72 Stepside/Cab & Chassis tail lamps (round) and put a Y.O.M. license plate on it.

Me too.

Over the weekend I did use it to pick up some outdoor furniture. Took out the old seat cover because it had bad dandruff. It was so old, I didn't need anything to pull it apart.

excellent work! Where do you get the bearings, gaskets, snaprings, etc. in Sweden? And without O'Reilly's, Autozone, or Pep Boys---what do you do for aggravation?

Re: What did you do to your truck today!

In your photo where the drive line hooks up, mine is leaking at the plate where it bolts up to the main housing. Anything special I need to know when I unbolt everything to install new gasket? What's the best gasket to buy?
Thanks
