Dash pads looking good. Forgive me im not a fan of new seats in old trucks but they look good

No worries buddy!

My thing is I’m a big dude
This sits a little lower and if I put autometer gauges in my angle is better
And my gut is out of the way without needing a tilt steering setup

On that passenger fender, adjusting the whole thing up a smidge will help out the door gap. That's assuming the door gap is even. If the gap is wide at the bottom, you can adjust the rear of the fender upward, and leave the front alone.

Did you have to do any modifications?

Can anyone tell what fender trim this is? The stainless ones?
I need another for that pass fender
I’d rather not buy 4 when only one is bent

Those are aftermarket, the ones that were very popular in the 90's.

I like em!
There’s a rubber gasket behind them
The ones I see for sale now don’t seem to have them

Not really
My truck was missing the chrome rings so I had to open up the aftermarket ones a bit but the went in easily

Sooo leak
Here just read flare them or what?
Got the old glare tool but not sure what happened
Master has been on about 6 months but while itnsat I guess it tweaked a little
The tube feels a little loose

Is that Teflon tape around the threads? Shouldn’t be any on inverted flare fittings. If it’s leaking you can try loosening and retightening the fittings a couple times. It can help reseat the flare and stop a leak. Don’t overtighten the fitting thinking it’ll stop leaking. You can crack the flare doing that.

@1985c20
I pulled off the line removed the thread tape
The line still wobbles
It looks like the fittings are wrong ?
The line has a lot of wobble in the flare and it looks like an inverted flare in the master

 

[1985c20]

Are both fittings the same size? Should be one bigger and one smaller thread. 9/16 and 1/2”

 

[eskimomann209]

Two pics
One at rest then I apply pressure

Ok I’m going to try to explain what I think happened but I’m not sure if it’ll come out clear enough. From the factory it had a bigger thread (9/16”) in the front port va the rear port at 1/2” but it had a special fitting that used 3/16” diameter line with the big thread. It looks like someone replaced your line with new and used a standard 9/16” sized fitting with a 3/16” line inside it which is why there is slop. Auto parts stores have the correct adapter you need or they have a short piece of 3/16” line with the 9/16” end on it you could add on.
