You may be better off to take it to a good tech and have the whole unit rebuilt.

Just a heads up: the carpet, passenger side front corner by the door under the heater, will be wet in the summer.

The only bad thing about that truck is the suspension. It rides rough by today's standards. Petes low air rides sooo much better. That is the only drawback to that truck. You did good, really really good.Last edited: Jun 28, 2017

Yep. And a rather easy swap. Unless it's a show truck where keeping it completely original might matter, there is no reason anyone should suffer the back damage caused by that suspension.Oxbow Thanks this.

She got a bath today and just a little polish to show some love... This is just a quick first round to try and bring it back a little bit. I will be getting another coat on the paint and then move to chrome!
