My new 1996 k2500 eclb

[96-1500]

Put e-brake cables on, a spring hanger (that was a PITA), rockers and some other bodywork done. The truck has had a bit of a hard spring hauling fishing gear around, busted up the lower back part of the box a bit which tore off some of the impact strip I put on, everything is more or less in place now but it flops around in the wind

Tailgate posts rusted off, I haven't had time between work and fixing my girlfriend's Sunfire to fix it, so a rope has been doing the job for now.

Speaking of that Sunfire (2000, 2.2/auto)...doing lower control arm bushings with nothing but a hammer and a chisel, on a dark rainy night, was lots of fun.

Painted the front driver's side of the truck. Just used a rattle can, turned out pretty decent actually. The door is still screwed up around the handle, and it still looks like s**t with the gross whitened mirror and only half the moulding on, but it's coming along

I also fixed the rust on the front of the hood, and colourmatched the bowtie. Normally I'm not big on colourmatching but I think it looks kinda cool. I was just bored so I said what the heck, how bad can it be. Sanded 'er down, taped it off real good and went at it. Pretty happy with how it turned out.

Thanks. If I clearcoated it...it would look close to stock I think.

And yeah, not a lot of fun. Wasn't really that bad of a job, just the conditions sucked. J-bodies are stupid easy to work on.

Had the day off and it's nice out today so I replaced the post hinge thingy and put my tailgate back on, washed 'er and went for a little drive down to the river
