...also put in a door bumper that I discovered missing from the drivers side. I ordered a set from Truck Shop for $4.99. Seems like they are a little bigger than the original that is still in the passenger door jam. Not sure if the drivers door stuck out like this before putting the bumper in but I am now thinking of sanding down this new one or trying a set from LMC or somewhere else to see if they are the correct size. Anybody have insight on this petty door bumper dilema? Original vs. New, and door bulging slightly.

Does that truck ever get DIRTY?? Also, baseball family here, questions on your boy......how old? what position does he play? does he really enjoy it? I started playing 70 years ago(75 now), then softball til I was 45, all the while coaching my boy from T-ball thru Legion ball, then G-kids......and watching my G-daughter in college, now.

Barely ever gets dirty. He is 10 and like's it as well as basketball. He plays 3rd, catches, platoons outfield, 1st, and occasionally 2nd. His mom is former collegiate level softball player and played basketball in high school. She grew up in our counties little league that she now is a coach in. She has coached my son and daughters baseball, softball, and basketball teams all through their little league careers. From coach pitch, machine pitch to now. They also both swim year round. My daughter fell out of love with softball a couple seasons ago so my wife focuses on my son's team's and has a knack for winning seasons with many players and families wanting to return to her(our) teams. Every now and then I get them out skateboarding with me. She's the jock and I am the punk skater she fell in love with. I also love baseball and played as a kid.

Before having the exhaust redone tomorrow morning, I took it out for a cruise downtown and beat the parade crowds for St. Patrick’s Day.

Redid the wires for the stereo and put in new amp. The op dumped atf on the old amp and burned it up. Found out that one of the rca wires isn't working. So for now only one speaker works in back and one under the dash. Better than it was but need a new deck. Probably get a new Kenwood from Walmart next weekend. Better than it was. Lol

It/they might soften & collapse a bit once used for awhile.

Had three buddies over to help align all the front cap, hood gaps.
Things are much easier when one works in a body shop................

Hopefully, making a trip to the exhaust shop tomorrow.
