Nice truck, is it just me or in the first pic are the tires in the front bigger than the rear?

Nothing like a good ol RCLB eh?

 

[bambam78]

Thanks guys!

The tires are all the same size, same brand, not exactly sure why the front ones look bigger lol

I always loved the RCLB look, it took me forever to find one that wasn't rusted out or with 1,000,000 miles, finally found this one for 3000 on craigslist

You did well then, same way with me I needed a long box for hauling stuff, when I set out looking I wanted a plain jane work truck, rclb, standard tranny 4x4 with anything bigger than a 305 under the hood. Took me awhile, eventually I had to settle for an automatic lol.
Unless I had a good trailer, I can't imagine owning a short box truck.

Dunno why I thought those tires looked bigger haha, guess I need to have my eyes checked.

 

[bambam78]

Yeah, i bought this one to haul my demo derby cars lol, have to say i've fell in love with it


Heres some small updates, been fixing dents and getting the truck ready for paint

This side was the worse, had deep gouges near the bottom of the bed, and alot of deep scratches

My bed rails were also riddled with holes, each side had about 12 screw holes in them

looking good! i really like the wheels! whered you get them at? gotta link to them?

 

[ChrisAU]

That grey piece has tabs holding it into the door. Feel along the edges behind it with a flathead screwdriver, find the tabs, then push down (or up if you are on the bottom) on them and out at the same time, they should pop right out.
