Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion

I made my windshield installer's week when I told him I was going back with a standard gasket and not the one with the trim. He was VERY happy!!

Truck looks great man!! So, test drive next week, right??

Thanks! No test drive soon. Still waiting on some key parts. I'm getting a rebuilt trans by trading some core trannys, and I still need conversion lines. Once I get some other work done, I'll hit this hard.

I have to give a huge thanks to Leon, LockDoc, for coming over and helping install the windshield and rear window. Without your help, I wouldn't have trim in the gaskets! We had a little issues, but nothing like every one on here rants about. Must be Leon's magic touch!

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..

I can tell you his truck is looking really good.

Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion

If it was me I would hold off on the cab lights until rest of the truck is done, Id hate to drill through a freshly painted cab like that, too bad you don't have bumps for the stock lights.

Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion

They're just setting there. I wanted to get an idea what they'd look like. I want cab lights on it but don't really want the OE style since I don't have the raised roof light cab. I will be installing these on this cab. Fresh paint yes, I'll just have to be careful.

Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion

The lights look good. They wouldn't look good on a lowered 2wd or anything with a gas engine. But you are building a truck. Still would be hard to drill the new paint.
