    Drip Rail Sealant

    Hey guys, it’s been a while since I took my truck apart and had it sand blasted. It’s at the body shop now and I’m curious if there’s meant to be any sealing layer or glue strip between the drip rail and the cab to keep water from the fastener holes. Do they glue and screw or just screw on and...

    Power Tour 2025

    July in Nashville ^ it’s a good time. I went in ‘23 and spectated. Had to go back and enter the truck last year. It’s always hot like power tour but they have some indoor exhibits to get in the cool air for a bit.

    Power Tour 2025

    @bucket I’m out this year. I’m doing the tailgate tour again in the 69. I’m hoping to have my squarebody done in time for SETN and Truckin the Trace though. I figured you’d be all over that new route up your way. I kind of wanted to go again but we decided one roadtrip was enough this year...

    Let’s see your memorabilia?!

    We'll have to see about next year. I did already buy my tickets for the tailgate tour in March though so I am going on that. If I can get my 78 done and some AC I will probably be way more likely to go on HRPT again :D I had a good time with everything but the heat :P

    Tripod mirrors on lowered trucks?

    So, after making the decision to use these mirrors, I naively assumed my local glass guy could fix my broken mirror but no, they don't do mirror stuff... Do you guys have a link to a source for rebuilding these things? LMC is all universal stuff which I am not sure it will work here or not.

    Tripod mirrors on lowered trucks?

    I think I am going to keep them for a few reasons, 1. It's the laziest approach and requires no fab work, 2. They look good on that orange truck, 3. I know I can see out of them.

    Tripod mirrors on lowered trucks?

    That is the first lowered one I have seen with them still on it. I am having my truck painted though. In hindsight, I should have just left it alone :D

    Tripod mirrors on lowered trucks?

    So my truck came with the rpo DG4 for the stainless tripod mirrors. They are easy to see out of but, what are they going to look like on a lowered truck? I have seen trucks my color even with the sport mirrors but they look kind of small and are difficult to see out of. Does anyone have pics...

    Southeastern Truck Nationals - Lebanon, TN July 12 & 13, 2024

    I’d like to. The guys putting that on invited me way back in March on the tailgate tour. It’s a decent haul for me to get over there. Should be some pretty scenery along the way though. They have as many trucks as SETN I heard.

    Southeastern Truck Nationals - Lebanon, TN July 12 & 13, 2024

    This ^. They don’t sell one day tickets either so you might as well hit both days. Spectator fee was $20 per person this year and to enter a truck was $50. Truck entry came with 2 passes so it’s basically $10 to bring the truck in if you go with a buddy. Well worth it to keep the cooler close :D

    Southeastern Truck Nationals - Lebanon, TN July 12 & 13, 2024

    I’m glad we got a chance to meet and chat. My drive wasn’t so long but I sure felt the heat on the ride home last night. I’m putting ac in the square and getting to these shows does wonders to re-energize you on getting some of these projects done. I booked my spot on the next tailgate tour...

    Southeastern Truck Nationals - Lebanon, TN July 12 & 13, 2024

    I am one of the 1550 :D but not the square body. I am still a long way from done on that one. With any luck I will have it done for next year's but don't hold your breathe :P If you all see my truck make sure to say hi or leave a note if I'm off gabbing to someone else.
