Thank you!
Carpet is still down, I do all my trucks that way.
I did run flooring into the taper and up to the firewwall, but there was no way without drilling a load of holes to make it stay where it needed to be. So there it ends!
Just delivered its first load today, then reloaded right away. Detroit is slowly getting there mileage wise, but had some horrible headwinds on the way down to Az, so that would have some affect on it.
Loving the truck, and actually bought some metal polish when I left home, for the first time in @8yrs! Got some of those universal cab curtains too, as the dealer quoted me @$900 for the WS setup!!

cetanediesel and SHC Thank this.
-
NICE! So what are you using to polish with?
-
Man, that looks good Martin!! The blue really sets off the polished stuff.
It feels good to drive a good lookin ride!!
Bill -
Thanks guys, especially as it truly sucked the big one doing it by hand in the heat here in Ar!
The polish is in a green bottle that says "perfect polish" on it. Can check it if needed tomorrow.
Always go with the grain of the aluminum though, I forgot and make swirly marks on the tanks, so had to redo them all when I remembered.
On the tanks, that is up and down only, on the wheels, follow the circumference of the wheel.
It certainly felt good when it was all done Bill! The blue does indeed set off the polished aluminum very well indeed.
Will try to snap some more pics of her tomorrow when the sun is hitting it right.
Martin -

MartinSHC and cetanediesel Thank this. -
I did remove the top cover from the turn signal switch today too, only saw 3 black wires there though.
Should I have completely removed the switch from the column, then completely tore the switch apart to find the mystery red jumper wire??
Martin -
No you don't need to pull the entire switch off the column, you need to remove the BOTTOM cover off of the switch.
-
Doh!
Thanks, will have another looksie at it and report back....
MartinSHC Thanks this.
