Congrats on number 3! We bought a house in Texas back in January, so we'll have get the trucks together when I'm home. Car seat went in just fine!...
Thanks so much Leo! I've been very blessed!
Absolutely gorgeous 52, thanks for sharing!
Thanks so much! That's quite the compliment, thank you very much!

[ATTACH] [ATTACH] My two daughters have been helping to keep an eye on the truck while I'm away. Our third daughter is on the way and may arrive...
I'm currently deployed, but Gramps isn't the type to sit idle. I moved my truck back into his shop before I left and he put the bed wood in. I...
Finally took the truck home today! Gramps jokes about looking forward to the extra shop space, but he's gonna miss having the truck there to...
Gotta pick up a spare yet, but everything is in place on the truck. Cranks really well with the homemade handle. [IMG] [IMG] [IMG]
Thanks fellas for the kind words! He was a happy guy indeed!
Took our first cruise around town and it felt very surreal. We circled the square and cruised through the heart of town with people honking and...
We decided to add small rubber bumpers to the bumper. It allows me to open the tailgate and lay it down without risking paint damage from the two...
Pulled the doors off yesterday and added the weatherstripping around the doors. I found a video on YouTube that helped settle the debate we were...
I did- I went with the peel n stick stuff from Lowe's. It's been the only thing on the floor for a year and a half and its held up great.
Not a really exciting update, but the floor mat and lower sill plates are in. Glasspacks are in the mail from Jegs headed our direction. I picked...
I definitely think the trim adds something to the truck, but it also adds to the frustration during the install.
Added both mirrors and called it a day. So close I can taste it. [IMG] [IMG]

In what must have been an effort to remain frustrated, we moved on to the headliner. What a piece of junk. We ended up having to trim part of the...
After the windshield we got the windlace put in. Another part of this truck that will lead you to the nuthouse. I'm sure if we had replaced the...
Both of our girls have been born since this truck project began, pretty cool to have it as this point and see them both sitting in it. [IMG] [IMG]
Windshield is in. Wish I could say it was a piece of cake, but it was a pain. The string technique is definitely the one to use, but man that was...
Inner window trim is all buffed up and in. This leaves the windshield, weatherstrip install, bed wood, reworking the exhaust, headliner, and a few...
So we completely forgot the "eyebrows" when we installed the vent windows and after going back and forth decided to pull the windows and add them....
Thanks Greaser! We've taken it for a couple spins up and down his county road, but that was before it was painted. Thanks for the kind words,...

Thanks TEB, it's always nice to see something take the shape of what you envisioned at the beginning. I agree, nothing made a bigger difference...
Somehow I wasn't already watching your thread, just fixed that! Keep it up man!
Thanks man, I'm loving the stance. Rake looks great as is, but I think the truck will end up leveling out a little more once the bed wood is in...
Thanks man, been a long time coming! It was VERY hard not to scrub, but I figured I'd wait until we had it done.
