I did light gray so they didn’t stand out

Barnfind46 · 09-14-2021, 02:57 PM

I painted my trucks grill and am working on the bumper.

Barnfind46 · 09-15-2021, 02:11 PM

Got the bumper done.

**TJ's Chevy** · 09-26-2021, 01:13 PM

Got the hood painted yesterday.....but didn't get time to post till today lol

**Chevy Fleetside** · 09-27-2021, 05:24 PM

Change the rear shocks on my truck and one of the bolts were frozen inside the shock. Lucky for me it was the lower one. Was able to cut it out with a sawzall that was no fun.

I put the toys in the back that I'm going to take to the toy drive this weekend. It's a car show toy drive. Pier 50 San Francisco

Nicely done! Best of both worlds!

**cwcarpenter98** · 10-09-2021, 07:13 PM

Started painting my new wheels today. I've had these for almost 2 years, but was waiting on needing new tires

Thanks, Andy! I didn't feel like paying to have the tires swapped over to the new wheels when I first got them, so they sat in those boxes on the shelf since

**cwcarpenter98** · 10-12-2021, 12:47 PM

New tires on. More pics in my build thread

jmarkha1 · 10-12-2021, 01:06 PM

Blasted my wheels and painted them. Got new tires.

goatless · 10-16-2021, 02:32 PM

Installed KYB Gas-A-Justs to try to keep the top of my tires off the fender well. They help some over the standard Monroes, but still touch when in tight corners.

It’s hard when your truck looks so good with that stance to change it at all

So true. I have 4" drop springs I can't use because my Monroes couldn't handle them. These KYBs raise the front slightly, unfortunately, and there's still the occasional rub. Might work if I had shorter front wheels.

**pdxhall** · 11-11-2021, 12:53 PM

I put the doors, fenders, cowl, & cowl extensions back on the truck for the last time until final prep and paint. I still have to work on gap alignments on the cowl extensions, cowl, and hood, and I also need to block out the hood.

This looks great, can’t wait till I’m near this state!

Gettin ready to pull the lowered rear leafs and switch over to a nolimit 4 bar.

Pitpig · 11-07-2021, 09:58 AM

Have a converted short bed with an LS and a th 400. Had terrible vibration at 70 mph. Shimmed rear 2 degrees down and trans 1 degree up per spicer calculator. Problem solved

roll_the_dice · 11-11-2021, 07:49 PM

Greased all of the front end zerk fittings...didn't realize there were so many! Hopefully that will take care of my squeaking front end.

**The Rocknrod** · 11-22-2021, 06:03 AM

Nice.
