Lower valance, and lower grill trim.

5 of the inch long, 3/8-16 tapered shank, 1/2 inch head bolts, hold it on. 2 on either side and 1 in the middle.

I have a few valances and a ton of bolts if you're desperate.

I repainted the old Edlebrock valve covers that i got for free the other day, came out pretty decent. Not perfect, but good enough.

You did an amazing job with those. Very nice!

Lower valance, lower apron, lower grille filler, bumper filler and splash panel are all a possibility.

Thank you very much.


I sanded them down to bare metal, primed with high heat primer, 2 coats of high heat flat black, high gloss black, then i one way sanded the flutes. Hand painted the letters and numbers and clear coated.
Paint egg shelled a tiny bit in one spot, but if you didnt know you wouldn't see it, but i see it.

So the foil trick worked well....
First time trying my lights since i put it in. Gauges are about about twice as bright as they were.

Made some progress on the front bumper I do like the original chrome/stock looks just need the protection from deer and thick brush I have to drive through

 

[Ajax19]

Think it will look better without trying to use the factory chrome reminds me of some of the trucks had a huge bumper extension on them it would not stick out so much

 

[Ajax19]

I raised it a few inches

I got my screws from LMC. I put the grille and headlight bezels I got from @FireTruck1984 .

maybe next time try a local automotive paint supplier. We've got one here in BFE KY that blew me away. They've got 10 times more selection than the parts stores in stock. I've been here for 22 years and went there last year for something. Kicking myself for money wasted.

They even have a binder with a sample of everything they have so it's easy to find without looking through packaging material. Also, the price is awesome....even better if you buy a whole box.

Just a thought

Installed a tonneau cover…

Been waiting to do this, had the paint and the clear, what a pain in the A, shot the inside of the cab and anything that is covered by doors, hoods or panels. I know it has been a while lost both my parents over the past two years and my wife of 20 decides it's greener on the other side of the fence, all I want to say is F@#%, Thanks Tamco your stuff rocks!

installed the aluminum rails, painted the grill and headlight bezels. Looking to install the brush gaurd and sun visor soon as well as painting the bed cap. I'll get some pics up in a few days.

Some progress on the front bumper I think a few panels to fill the gaps plenty of room for a hideaway winch plans today are get the hoop on and go from there just kinda winging it with what I have
