A couple more quick updates....tailgate is mounted but wont shut one side....I am going to have to purchase a new hinge as the one I have is all cobbled up...Jim Carter truck parts to rescue again...
all the new 9 foot long southern yellow pine I gotta tell you...between the bolt kit and all the trim pieces and wood too...we are sitting at over $800.00....man o man...I was hoping for a low buck rebuild...
Oh yeah...I also got the rear tail lights mounted....had the newer set from a previous project and I can almost bet they will be brighter than the little stock one was...
before and after here... Started to bleed brakes and one of the CPP brake calipers was leaking like a sieve....talked to the tech guys there and they told me I think it was $75.00 for another caliper (and 5 to 7 days before it would ship)...so I asked what their kits were based off of....I was told a 1978 C10 Chevy truck...so I went to my local Advance auto and for $32.00 including a core charge I was up and running...their caliper where the crush washers mount was cut wrong so when you went to tighten everything down it would leak....still need the wife to help bleed them out tho...
As always...cant wait to get it running and out of the garage...
