Full body restoration...

[philo_beddoe]

Weld, but did a goid job. I agree, blue can of water. When i drank beer that was the worst beer on earth. I was a sam adams regular.





Also, getting the new wheel arch trim on. Of course only a few holes line up. Good fit otherwise, surprisingly.

Looks great.  I'm enjoying the updates.

[philo_beddoe]

Good Info about the dodge mirrors

My passenger one come out of adjustment every time you slam the door
Some electric ones would be nice

Easy enough to tighten up so they won't move when you slam the door...

Link to instructions ?

I can't even figure out how to get the cover removed

I didn't see any beer, just a can of water

Vile,
I can deal with you trucks being nicer than mine, but to insult my favorite beer, that hurts, lol.
I actually went back to look for the "water bottle".

lol we all need to watch our figures as we get older

You take the one screw out at the bottom, it's pretty straight forward. Pull towards you and up.

Cover off what, a 73-87 door mirror?

Once you start drinking the stronger or darker and high gravity beers there is no going back.

The Truck will definitely need to be a winter garage Queen.

[philo_beddoe]

Yes, they say i created a monster. Now i need a winter beater, build a large shop/garage, and give even more attention to the green queen.

[LTZ C20]

Yup, argent silver, I personally never liked the full chrome ones, needs something to break up the view.

Truck is looking awesome!

I know it's a few pages back but I was just updating myself on the progress. Mine were chrome, maybe the paint was worn off, I don't know, but I didn't like it. Painted them a flat silver and it looked a lot better. Next time around I was going to paint them black after re chrome. I don't have them anymore tho. When my girlfriend's brother was putting his truck back together after it came back from the body shop after a bad accident. The insurance paid for a lot of replacement parts but the new bezels were cheap plastic. Since I quit driving my truck since I bought the 02 and I don't know when I'll get to drive the truck again, I donated my headlight buckets and bezels to him. His truck has a huge sentimental and family value and mine where GM pieces. I wanted to help him have his truck back to as good as it was, before his accident it was an accident free truck it's whole life. So eventually one day in the future I will have to find new bezels for mine. They were the 79 bezels too so a little harder to get.

[philo_beddoe]

Yah, i tend to agree, my grill, whoops...grille has that argent look as well as the inner bezel. But the surrounding chrome shows up nice.

The only place that has metal bezels that i foud was classic parts. I had to call them to verify. Even tho the plastic "looks" fine, the plastic bothers me.

[philo_beddoe]

BTW, i found this 2000 for sale, asking $3.5k. I cant find any rust on it, top to bottom. What does anyone think. (As an alternate winter truck)
