because everything else that is needed to be done on the truck can be done in my garage, the truck had his last trip on a trailer from my friend barts garage to mine, next time i'll visit his garage , it will be rolling on my 4 wheels :D

hey hey, some progress again,
sidefenders are on, on the passengers side the trim stil needs to be on the sidefender. a little electrical still needs to be done, most of it works allready.e're building a system now to operate the talgatelights without the problem of having to diconnect wiring when the tailgate needs to come off. bumpers still need to be mounted on, bumper guide lights, side steps, sunvisor, windshield, interior... so, not done yet, lol!
later!

looks nice kurt but i like the grill hanging up on your wall better. the original grills look better to me cuz everyone and their dogs has these grills that are aluminum or crome...just my opinion though. your truck is awesome

So Kurt are you using those rims are you going to clean them up to match the shine on the grill ;D Oh I have to agree i never really liked the tube grills but it Your truck . So you have the right your tastes & put what you like or want ;) .
