It certainly looks great. Even better knowing the real effort you put into doing it properly. The body looks awesome to match the sound mechanicals. Should be a great truck for a long time. Congrats!

It has been a blast to drive! Thank you all for support and encouragement. I made the tire winch tool today out of scrap.



This works like a champ! One handed operation. If you look close, I put a roller tube where my hand goes so the bolt doesn’t have to slide in your hand while cranking.

Bedliner is complete

I have a small list Im chipping away at. The roll-on liner is messy but easy to use. What do you think?






I thought you may enjoy before after pics

I have a large list of small things still left to do, you are doing great Brett.
That bed line liner looks great, give me encouragement to try doing mine the same way.

Looks good. Looks as nice as the spray-on coatings.

The bed liner seems to go well with the finish look of the rest of the truck. You are right, before and after pics are fun.

Truck trunk is installed. The easy plug and play parts are fun to install!

Dennis Carpenter

I have an issue with my new throttle pedal from Dennis Carpenter. The holes are inverted or opposite and it will not bolt in. Has anyone else had this issue?






I could try and drill new holes but should I have to on a brand new part?!?

Would it be possible to switch out the bottom pieces?

No you shouldn't have to but it seems that quality is not job one in many places. Dennis Carpenter use to sell dependable stuff. Still better than a lot of places but this pedal mix up is a bit much, especially since they were so proud of it that they put the Ford part no. on it. Remember the poor quality tail gate they sold Chris (oldbleu)? That thing was horrible! Definitely have a conversation with them.

Shined up

I finally got all of the accumulated dust off! Solved a fuel leak at the filter today on my joyride...

had the exact same issue with my DC throttle pedal. I think I just drilled new holes. I did email them with a photo showing new vs old, that was back in 2018 I can’t remember what they said.

This is 2021 obviously they did not make the effort to fix the situation! Thanks.
