Thumbs up Safety . . .

Well my truck goes in tomorrow for a Safety inspection so I will see if all my hard work payed off. of course I will be there the entire time to make sure they don't try to rip me off.

Wish me luck!

So didn't get my safety, they say I need to fix the floor pan, the Rad support mount, put a bulb in the licenplate light and get a new wheel stud on the rear.

Does this sound right for a safety?

Well the bulb and stud I can understand. If your floorpan has holes in it or is very close to having them, I can see failing safety.

Is the radiator support badly rusted or cobbled together?

Rad support was cracked, I fixed it, fixed floor today, I was wondering if I need to remove the rear axle to remove the wheel stud or can I punch it out whith the axle in?

We do it yearly . I'm glad you should see some of the things they bring in . Bad frame/ no brake linings ETC real hazards. But mostly because most people don't check their rides at all. And only have looked at when it becomes expensive. like a wheel falling off.

Well good luck on your inspection . You'll have whipped into shape in no time.
