P.S.

Does anyone know if they make flexplate dust covers for SM465? I have the bolt holes but can't find any anywhere

got the hood all finished and the first color laid down for two tone black/orange combo.
Tamco colors and clear are fantastic products!

Got my hood painted finally! I don’t work as fast as I used to . Next on the agenda , strip carpet , pull rubber off the door jambs . Fix some rust on the passenger rocker . Not to bad though . Then paint door jambs.
I am 55 so I don’t move as quickly, and body work sucks . Done enough of it years ago . But bye no means am I a professional at it . The cab has lil dents here and there , top is good ! Thank the lord !

Now to figure out why my driver fender is a lil bit short at the hood. Adjusting hood hasn’t helped . I’ve got a1/4 of a truck almost!

Well it sure feels like it’s been awhile to get this far. The aftermarket fenders look great and we’re pretty heavy . But just hope there not going to be a problem, my originals were toast ! Dents rust etc

I'll be changing out the front fenders soon. Hopefully it goes as well as yours and you get yours where they need to be.

Yes try to play with them tomorrow. I know most people that do any body work and or repair, recommended original parts . I am happy with the overall fit and quality. Auto metal direct was where I got them .

I've heard of them on YouTube, glad to see you're happy with them. Was hoping to here some results about them here.

had to replace the rear yoke. When I swapped rear end gears the drive line vibration got really bad, turned out the **** that center the rear ujoint were worn allowing it to run off center. Above 60 MPH it had a horrible drone.

Not directly on my square, but made a dolly to move the snowplow when off the truck. Normally just drop it in the corner of the yard, and move it with the truck when I need to, but it’s coming off a truck I’m junking and won’t be mounted to the other truck for quite a while.

I added the ORD bolt-on steering box brace to my 1990 v1500 suburban. it was bolt on like expected. all that was necessary was drilling out 1 hole and removing a couple brakeline brackets. but it definitely took some wrestling to get it all lined up. I drove it a bit around town and on the hwy afterward, and I will say that it seemed to tighten up the steering a bit.

yeh the brake sensor is all in the way. I got lucky and bent a line or 2 and it fit.

Swapped my stupid speaker boxes out for actual brackets that fit the cab. The boxes wouldn’t let the seat go all the way back and the seat muffled 3/4 if the speaker
