rebuilding the truck
#21
Just climbing out of my rotted out truck this evening....this thread makes me jealous! But motivated too I hope.... I like the green to accent the motor, different.
Did you end up cutting any new parts on the cab? IE rocker panels? I ask because that's the biggest problem on my truck. It was a NH road crew truck with some steps that had a rubber gasket against the rockers, holding all the crud in. By the time I noticed the bubbles, I tapped them with a screwdriver and it went right through. Now even the steel behind the painted rocker is rotting out, can still buy the parts through LMC. Just looking for tips if you went that far.
Looking good, keep up the good work (and pics)!

www.discountautomirrors.com has them for $60 each and you will have to select for the year 2003 but they do bolt on with the supplied bracket which is a flat piece of metal which im pretty sure is the bracket you need to make it fit but someone else might chime in just to confirm... by the way your truck looks great man, im jelous lol

Ok I talked to a buddy with a '94 (mine came with the mirrors just had to replace one) and he looked at the bracket and confirmed its what you need to fit them on your truck so yes, in the box comes the mirror and the bracket.. adapter whatever you wanna call it. And you will not regret putting them on.. not only for looks but it makes driving easier with less blind spots.. other than the big mirrors themself lol but well worth it

Truck's lookin' awesome! I just saw another forum where the guy used spray on bedliner for his grille and front bumper....looks great. It was on new body style cheby, but cool. Just an idea.
