NICE!! She's looking mean and Teal!! :driver:

Nice work on the 3rd brake light as well as the tip for it!! I like the vise too!!

I'd keep running it until it gives up as well as the belt, looks like you got both covered if they fail!!

This will be the dumb question of the week, is there a replacement for the foam rubber for the high mount brake light?

the end cowl pieces look good as well, its the little things that count!! Looking great!
Thanks man! The vice is really neat. Wilton hitch vice. That’s our welding table at work, the vice slides into a 2” receiver that’s welded underneath. It can be rotated or removed completely. It gets used a lot!

As far as the gasket, I don’t think there is a new replacement available. At least there’s not for the extended cabs.

Y’all be thinking about a shaker can color for the bottom rockers. The missing and bubbling paint is driving me nuts. I’m thinking about rustoleum’s sand color….

Sand or silver looks good on the teal trucks. You’ve got a good neutral interior color. I think that plays a part into exterior design as well.

Do you have access to a paint booth where you work?

If by paint booth you mean dusty shop with inadequate ventilation and water in the air compressor, then yes :ROFLJest:

I painted this big farm truck in there. Now everything in the shop is red, including a bunch of stuff already restored for the scout project.

I was finally able to get out to a salvage yard today. Most of the gmt400 s were severely picked through but I found a few small things.

Like some quad headlights out of an 88’. One side has cracks but I’m confident I can fix them. Stay tuned for an in-depth restoration.

And a Camaro door chime.
