    Thanks guys!! Body shop hasn't sent me any more pics unfortunately, but I'll be back home in a couple days and drop by to check on it. Hopefully my rear hangers and lights will be in Monday, that's the only other major parts I'm waiting on.

    Started the application process for my apportioned plates and never would have thought proving residency would be that difficult...sheesh. Oh well, its done.

    I'll update this just as soon as I have more pics. Stay safe out there.

    GREAT JOB! You took the high road and it shows. Not often we see someone put so much time, money and effort into it. Best wishes...

    Thanks guys, had to end up staying out for work another week. Body guy called yesterday and said the 90 gallon tank we were going to use had some leaks, so I’m swapping for two 100 gallons, one new and one almost new. Still waiting on my rear hangers but should be in this week...hopefully.

    Really wanting the 7” round headlights, but the mounts/lights/housings I want are about 2k...kinda hard to justify in these uncertain times. Guess it’s a blessing that I can even debate that right now. Eventually went a new blind mount bumper as well, but I think those are going to have to wait a little bit. Ready to start wrenching on her for sure. Plan for her to be in the family for many, many years.

    The search continues for a good used double drop or tri axle step deck. Lemme know if y’all know of any good ones to be had out there.

    Stay safe out there.

    You need some chrome piping and fan shroud from Kustom Trucks.

    Yeah...pipes will get dealt with for sure. Probably paint match but not sure yet.
