    How to replace side mirror glass

    I can't because of the pay to use photobucket junk. I don't even get on here anymore because of it. Just get emails on thread replies. Easiest way to get to the blinker wires is on top of drivers side fender well. The group of wires running from the firewall to the core support are the lights...

    How to replace side mirror glass

    Find the correct wire under the column area. The tail light harness is easiest to find, it literally matches a trailer harness in colors and usually is just above the harness box on the firewall. Idunno if any simpler way to describe it. You could look into a wiring diagram, but I just used the...

    Also, once you get floor where you want it.. Use the fender well as a template for cutout of bed wall before you weld it in. It'd be a major pain in the buttocks trying to reach in there to cut it out if the fender well was attached before the wall was cut. (inside fender well, where tire will...

    Oh, and once you decide on the floor height and get it where you want it. You can use self tapping screws to secure the floor in place for welding it back. Also helps with keeping the walls from warping and pulling away from the floor when welding it also.. Especially on the front wall. Then...

    If you can't drill them out.. Just cut the lip off. I had the same problem. I don't have a 90 degree drill either, so I said fk it and just cut the lip off. Lol On mine I cut just enough to cut the spot welded part off so I'd have a tiny lip to be able to use for pliers to hold it in place...

    Heck yeah! On the spot welds that were drilled out but still had like a sliver of metal still holding, I used an old 5in1 blade to cut/ pop them loose. They're easy to get between the metal. Lol also great for getting off old seam sealer too

    The floor once welded back to the bedsides will be structurally as it was originally. The floors weight strength is from its braces. Measure the distance between floor and top of bed rail and use that as your reference. However much you raise the floor, measure the new distance. Subtract it...

    my 98 stepside project

    The pieces sandwich the bed wall. Either cut off the flange or drill the welds out to separate it. I drilled them out and used the small section that goes into the bedside opening as my filler pieces. Already right shape lol.. And yeah, I couldn't decide how to fill the gap on the end, so I...
