Good morning Nevada, welcome to Thursday!

Greg, you'll be happy to know, I pulled the doors off of the 67 last night, going to change out the springs tonight!

Morning everyone.

Pat, good to hear. I am glad you are making progress on your truck. Once it is finally complete, are you gonna be scared to drive it after all this work? I hope not!

Glad to hear. I love driving mine. Current downsides are no AC or PS.

Yeah, I remember driving mine when it was lacking those. Not so much a biggie with the AC, but, parking wasn't fun without PS!

AC is a biggie when you live in the desert.

Good morning Nevada, welcome to Friday!

Greg, got the new door hinge springs put on last night. I have the one I had, and can send it to you. But, check out the difference between the original, and the ones DC sent me, they are much beefier. Not sure how this will affect the doors movement. Oh, and those new springs were a bear to get on!

Morning everyone.

Pat, looks like a huge difference. My passenger door still has the factory spring and does the job. I will give yours a try and if needed add a couple to my next order if it doesn't hold up.

Hey Jim, Greg. Greg, I'll get that horn button and spring boxed up, and try to get it out tomorrow. I was really surprised at the difference in those springs!

Pat, cool deal. Thanks for the bits and pieces.

I can't wait to get AC in my truck. I hope to get it before next summer.
I think I said that last year also.
