Today, I replaced the rotted nasty doors with some nice n shiny new ones, and I also replaced the almost non-existant bumper with a rust free new one.

Nice man! Thats allot of truck for $700

What are your plans for it?

 

haha you got to work on that quick What else do you plan on doin to it?

 

Sweet!... nice upgrade on the mirrors too!

 

Im loving this truck so far. Its got such a good stance.

 

nice work ima keep up with this
but the comment about the mirrors i guess they dont look that bad but personaly i like my orignal mirrors better but nice progress sounds like me first day i got it i put my new headunit in, set up some 6x9's in the back, and that was like 3 or 4 weeks ago and now since ive done that i got subs,tweeters,fixed my rusty floor pans and much much more to come

 

Thanks everybody !!!

Thanks, Yea I like the old mirriors better, they look more "mean" to me lol. But I went with these instead because the other ones like to rust out the door, and I dont want to replace anything again for a loong time lol


And, My plans for this in the next month (hopefully) include:

Hook up good radio/speakers
Ball Joints
Sepentine Belt
Oil Change (This week)
Spark Plugs/wires (this week)
Cap/rotor (this week)
Fuel Filter (this week)
Air Filter (this week)
Wiper Blades (this week)
Complete Rad. Flush (this week)


Man, I have alot of work ahead of me, I hope its worth it Lol...

 

That's the best part is workin' on them man
Does it already have a CB?

 

Lol, yea it is...

I forgot about the CB, nope it doesnt, but I do plan on installing one, I already have one to go in it, all I need is the antenna's... I plan on having Dual whips too lol.

 

Haha dual whips? Youll be picking up HBO with that lol
Ya I need to pickup a decent antenna for mine and in it goes.

 

Haha, yea I hope so, and Good Luck lol.


Welp, didnt get much done today, all I did was get a new key made for the locks on the new doors, (the old door locks wouldnt interchange). I forgot to get screw-in rivets, so I can mount all of the manual window stuff into the new doors, so I coudnt do much.

But tomorrow I'm gonna be busy for sure.

Off of that list of stuff I was gonna get, I got all of the stuff that I put (this week) on.

Next week I will hopefully get the ball joints, I am ordering some Moog Greasables to, so I hope they will last, anyone have any "Pros Or Cons" on them ???

Heres a pic of what I got today, all $130 of it.





Thanks...
