    Painting inside of cab

    What is the trim level inside the truck going to be? The reason I ask is that if you do the interior over with new trim parts, there is not a lot of paint visible. My opinion is that a base coat clear coat paint is more fore giving than you think. Buy a mid level gun, start with the floor and...

    Can I fix this by cutting out and only replacing outer?

    Outer panels are available, LMC ect. It will take a fair amount of skill and body experiance to pull that panel replacement off. It is doable but if you have not done a weld on panel replacement before, a friend that has or a shop will be your new bestie. Eric

    What have you done to your square lately??

    So I took advantage of the high 60's temp here and washed her to get ready for inspection at the DMV tomorrow. Bad news is the chineesium front bumper I bought from LMC less than 1 year ago is rusting through the chrome already, even with wax on it. Thanx LMC, NOT! Eric

    Rust converters and Frame paint

    I just bought some rubberized under coating from advance for a non truck project. That $hit covered like a boss and had great adhesian with little or no prep. It also covered without glopping up. If I had discovered this 1 year ago, I would not have wasted all that money on frame paint and...

    What did you pay for a square

    I paid 8k i think for my 87 k10 short bed in 1993. Almost 30 years later and the oem motor having 300k+ before she quit, I am still happy. Everyone said I over paid at the time of purchase, but I beg to differ. Eric

    What new tools have you got lately?

    I wanted a 3 ton arbor press, but hated the money. I just missed a 3 ton Drake with floor stand on craigs..... So I settled for a 1 ton from grizzly with a 30" cheater bar and a 50 pound weight. lol Time will tell if it was a good idea or not. Eric
