Well more paint is being laid down.. i'm about 80% complete painting the frame.
Then on to the interior. The seats and carpet will be removed. Sound proofing everything.
Just snagged some KR 08-10 door panels so we will install those.
Anyone interested in a set of 05-07 KR seats? I wanna convert to 08-10

How much were those door panels? Direct swap?

Slow.. parts are expensive... I have my rebuild gasket kits.. need rings and bearings..
In all reality I shoulda put the KR door panel/cowl hood/08 tailgate $$$$ into rebuild parts..

You can say that again. It's looking pretty good though! My buddy is just now getting to a point where we can start his 12v swap, but he still needs his PCS and I need to go help him build some IC pipes. We just finished the electronics. So its fixing to be on!!

I love those tailgates with a step!! I'm not an old man, but it sure is handy!
Are you gonna repaint the whole truck or just the tailgate to match?
