Your new grill looks great.
Is it black or dark gray in the middle?
I'm OK with mine for now, gotta fix the missing piece under the "M".
But yes, harder to find the '83 - '84 ones.

I know it doesn't look like much, but I got one of my vent windows "re-rubbered" & new latch installed.
A good challenge for a couple hours in 100 degree temp today.

Notice the clean, unobstructed view out of the windshield ?
You know, because there is no rear view ?

Please keep me in mind when you are done getting the stuff you need and want from it :waytogo:

I believe we'll be having it for a while, when i'm done my dad will be using it for his '90 Suburban project. But i will most definitely keep you in mind bud

Finally got my front axle back after 9+ months. Of course it was wrong so I got to pull it all apart again. With just the axle shafts in hand, the guy I originally wanted to do my axles (old timer and the whole axle was too big for him to manage) agreed to take them and do them right. Painted my new rotors then had them checked out - they needed about .018/side skinned of to be true. New Timken races pressed in. Too pretty to use. :hat:

As soon as I have my axle shafts back can finally reassemble this thing and get it under the frame. Still where I was in late April when I actually thought I had a shot at getting it back together this year....before the assclown sat on my axles for 3/4 yr.

Pathetic for "progress" but its all I got.

yeh sucks. Dropped my truck off last week to have panels welded on and expected it by end of next week. Stopped by Wednesday and he said he wouldn't be able to touch it until next week. Took the truck with me....got a buddy that will do it for me.

I don't care what it looks like, but it needs to be done by the first weekend of September.....then it's all on me to do the body work when I can in between hunting. It can rust another year before I'll not have a truck during hunting season. Honestly I've seen worse, really it would survive another year with out it.

Long time comin! How's the horn wire up? is it its own wire or part of the harness? Sadly it isn't working quite yet, then again the last owner had a rigged up push button on the dash for it. . . what. a . shame.

Had a buddy call me and say "come by my house and bring your truck". Lo and behold he had a shell he wanted to get rid of. Didn't want anything for it. Now to pull out the pressure washer....

Have a window shop do it! So when it falls off they get to do it again! I had the same problem with mine and the DYI stuff just didn't cut it!
