Yeah Oklahoma is the same way!

Bumslie 87. Looks like a nice truck. Any pics of the interior and engine?

Tech_Ed88 · 04-10-2009, 09:10 PM

I just got my first estimate on painting it...... to change the color to black.... remove all of the trim and molding and smooth the fenders and paint it one solid color..... My buddy is against it though... he likes the classic look....

the white is a better colour if it comes to prep .
the gloss black show any blemish in the sheetmetal and prepwork no matter how small the white covers them up a lot better .
try to get a quote for the lighter colour i think you be suprized at the pricedifference when it includes the bodywork

Sharp looking truck. I like those clear side markers. I'm looking at those for mine.

how did you put in them turn signels lights with that grill/

Kmart2352 · 04-13-2009, 05:59 PM

I got the side makers at LMC. For the grill I had to cut the tabs on the top of the light and on the inside of the grill it has a little L shaped braket that you screw the to.

I mounted my park lights by setting the light into the slots and under the "L" shaped piece and then put a little black silicone on the back of the light to keep it solid.

I think he can. I had a friend who did this with a lesser brand truck. He could put it on and take it off. The real problem was that he needed two people to ride with him when the top was on so they could hold it when he stopped fast.

Since it was a F*$d, it flying off during a fast start was less of a problem.

Finally, he decided it was destined to be a true 100% top-off ride when his girlfriend broke up with him because she had the door post permanently embedded in her neck.

Lousy fashion statement.

Nope. Fictional humor.

In response to the question about whether a Sawall'ed roof can be put back on as easily as it came off......
That's my personal style of a laff-track. Or a "smiley". Trying to not look like an arrogant pr$#k.
