    Front left brake grabbing befor the other ones...

    GroundSpeed, most of the vehicles I own/ have owned have all been GM's. Those rubber flex hoses swell up over time, and I have had to replace a few of them. I'm with those guys! It sounds strange, but cut your old hose in half and look at the walls. Welcome to the forum, I'm a noob too. :)

    Hey thanks Dave! Yeah I hear ya. I should probably have my head examined on this one. Show room finish just hanging off the side of the door, and knobby tires.... We'll see how it holds up. At least my rig is mostly a street queen, where I bet your rig see's some actual off-road up there in WA...

    I finally finished buffing my last piece out last night, so tonight I'll be putting them back together again......very..very carefully. Last picture, upper left is NOT a scratch, just an extension cord......almost had a stroke this morning over that. :( BTW I know about the lacquer over enamel...

    Hey that looks great!! I know exactly what you mean about the body lines, some towing mirrors do not stick out perpendicular to the truck and they just do not look right at all. (That's just my opinion) Yours look real nice though! (That's a fact!) :) What did you end up using to hold the glass...

    Hello Everyone

    I really appreciate the nice comments everyone, by the time I got to the bottom of the page reading, I felt like I had a small army behind me. Lol :-) Yes it is a lot of work, but the few times a year my grandpa gets to see "his old truck" he lights up like it was the day he bought it. Makes him...

    Hello Everyone

    Thank you for taking the time to welcome me guys. I'm all gasoline though, so I'm thinking more along the lines of an 8.1 vortec or 454 with a manual but that's just talk at this point and honestly if that stock 350 stays healthy, she does the job. Much respect for the diesels they just don't...

    I'll let you know how the 3M tape works out and then at least you'd have an option if they did break. I see you're a MN fella too....word. :-)

    Hello Everyone

    Haha! Thanks guys. No them tires aren't helping me when towing that's for sure, but all other areas I just love them. Had 285 hankooks MTs before these. I can't help it.

    My tabs were extremely fragile!! Even after reading Daves information, and understanding how the mirror comes apart, I still broke half of the tabs. The majority of the stuff I work on, is older, and brittle, so I am used being very careful taking things apart. Anyway, it could be worse, at...

    Hello Everyone

    My name is Ben, and I am new to this forum. I work on a computer for a living, so I try to spend as much time in the garage as I can, when I am not at work. My wife and I both drive older vehicles, but I do my best to keep them looking just as nice as the new ones. Keeping my small fleet...
