Some of my daily, 2500HD 8.1

[Jrgunn5150]

This is my 3 or 4 day a week driver, Clifford. Clifford is a 2002 CCLB with an 8.1/Allison/4.10 gears.

I knew it had been repainted by the fact that it had the wrong front clip on it, I didn't know they had stuffed the cab corners full of cardboard and bondo until it started bubbling. They had been replaced before that also, so I had to cut it all out.

I used a product called Liner Extreeme as bedliner to protect my new rockers and cab corners, and also because I didn't feel like repainting this giant truck lol, here's some pics.

Unfortunately, My 'Clifford" is back up for sale and haunts me on craigslist. Wish it would have worked out...

Nice! I had a K20 like that once upon a time also.

Here's some midway pics, still need to buff and stuff where I took the pinstripes off.

That sucks to hear. It's hard to know that something that was yours that you cared about is being shuffled around, and your hands are pretty much tied in the matter.

I forgot I ever posted it here lol, here's a current pic with new powder coated PYO's and Falken Wildpeak tires.

Did you get your other bed or that it?

No, the other one is white. David hasn't pulled it for the utility bed yet, I think the company is doing that in a week or so.

Which Wildpeak tires did you get? The A/T version (might have been redesigned in the last year or two, dunno) won't be usable for too awful long. The lateral grooves between the tread blocks only go halfway down at best. Which means that by the time you are down to half tread, you basically just have a highway steer tire. It was a really stupid design.

The AT/3w or something like that, idk.

I always sell my old tires after two years anyway lol. They are a million times better on road than the Kanatis that came off.

So, it's been awhile lol. I still drive Clifford. Had a bit of a set back.

I beat the hell out of it until I could put another taillight in it and drive it at least. Cut the bumper off as well.

Did some looking around, found some decent beds in Tennessee, Oklahoma, North Carolina, etc. One place didn't have a loader, one couldn't be bothered to take pics, one told me it was sold and they'd call back and let me know if the guy picked it up.

Of course here in Michigan people want 1,000 for one that just needs a patch or some nonsense.

Then, it would just rust again, and be made of sheetmetal and easily bend again...

So...

While everyone is watching sportsball tomorrow, I'll be swapping beds.
