I want to do this. Mine buried at the bottom of the black hole....I mean center console...

Is that a maglite specific mount? Or just something you mocked up?

 

Did you have rust at the bottom of your doors and if so what did they do about that?

 

There's a page linked in the tech folder, second post all the way down, almost to the bottom where the FTE member pages are listed, titled "1975stroppebaja's Page"

Click that link and you'll find how he did his maglight mount.

Tylus will be the first (ok, maybe second now, ) to say he's far from the originator for that mod.

I dunno how old you are (not a knock, just proving I'm old, LOL) but this is a mod that has been done for decades.

The first thing to do is to reseal the bottom of the door from the inside. Over time the factory sealer dries and lets water through it. Eventually it will push the lip out (folded edge of the door skin). On my truck it started to rust where the door skin is folded. I sealed the inside then removed the rust and as an experiment I coated it with "Rust Bullet Clear". It's been through one Michigan winter and it appears to be stable. The Detroit area and surrounding suburbs are built on top of salt mines...and the municipalities are not shy with the salt!

 

1 quart of Bedliner does whole roof. Need 1 more quart to give decent 2nd coat. Not terribly noticeable

 

yep. Got the idea from Stroppe years ago. I can remember doing on my 2006 F-150 in '06

 

Not sure if you got your answer but they look like these to me...

Picked up an 18" spare rim with tire and an extra 17" tire for $20 off CL. Tires are throwaway. Steel wheel is good. It was a buy it all or nothing deal.

 

I just used the hardware that came in the package and screwed them into the plastic. IF they come out loose in the future, I'll think about reinforcing it with a back plate and use nuts & bolts.

 

Again
Otherwise, no complaints.

 

i got most of my driver side rocker done and painted from outside gotta do some touch ups front underneath/behind rockers and got my oem 16 inch rims painted black plastidip since the factory chrome was being corroded away by salt and to top it off painted my front and rear stock bumpers black dip to will get some pictures tomorrow

 

Hey, he taught me this mod. So it was first for me And yeah...these bones will turn 47 in Oct FWIW, this is the first 4 wheel vehicle that I have had the true motivation to personalize. So, it will be a work in progress for the next few months, years to come

 

According to the bank, my 02 limited 7.3 at 413k books out around $12.5k

 

I'm guessing that is Retail, as in "Dealer Sale".
