Phrases like "rear disc brake conversion" are starring to get tossed around.

All bondo work is completed on the cab and fenders. The hood didnt need any work.

Inner fenders and rear brake line shipped today. Shocks should arrive tomorrow. I hope to finish out the prep work and primer next week, as well as the remainder of the parts list.

Looking good
Thanks.



Im going back and forth with moving up to 35's or dropping the truck a bit. I like the stance, but I dont know that I love it.

Epoxy sealant has been sprayed. Hope to spray primer tomorrow. Then likely bring the bed in to get it sanded down and to the same level as the cab.

Sanded the first coat of epoxy. Brought the bed inside for next time, we have a few dings to fix and we can get to the level as the cab.

Brought the gas tanks and exhaust home to clean up and paint.

My friend got bored last night and started sanding on the bed. Looks like we need a tailgate handle and both latches and gas door hardware, im ordering a complete bolt kit so ill wait and see if the hardware comes in the kit. 

The previous owner just filled the dents with bondo, my friend started working on knocking them out last night, the goal from the start of this project has been to use as little bondo as possible and were going to continue that philosophy.

We also got a quote for paint, I thought $750 for paint and clear was a pretty good deal for a 2015 color, but im new at all this.

Ive been all over the Internet trying to find the best way to dye seat belts. Ultimately my wife was the deciding factor and is making me buy new seat belts. Im not going to argue.

Lastly, never add it up!

The truck is coming out great.  Did you decide what to do about the tires?
