Point of no return project.

Been waiting for a while for it to all come together, got the bed off the donor truck ready to paint, finished my custom tailgate, got the fender wells all glassed up and primed and all the dents out.

Gonna put spray liner in the bed, red main color, with the running boards and center of tailgate and bumper dark metallic gray.

Now all I need is $500 for paint how ridiculous paint prices are.

Take a look, now I can fix the pickup tube in my rear tank

lookin' good
gotta question....
do they salt the roads in TN?
My '92 is a ex TN truck and I was suprised to find the frame to have as much surface rust as it does.

NICE! Looking good man. That tail pipe is the 4" one from Napa isn't it. I just don't know if I care for the angled exit. Been trying to decide if I want that one on my brown truck. I think I'm just gonna run a before axle exit for now until I can make up my mind.

 

[Timthetoolman]

Some salt, hasn't snowed here in many many years, up in the mountains they salt.

The NAPA pipe is great, I ran mine out at the axle once, this is much better and sounds great, no muffler and super quit inside, sounds wicked outside.

Looks great, I m looking forward to seeing the progress.

Nice, that is going to be one slick rig when you get it all painted and put together. I also look forward to seeing you progress, I can probably learn a thing or two from your project.

Looking good. What is the napa part number for that exhaust piece over the axle that exits at the 45* I know they have the 4" 90 exit but I want the 45.

[trackspeeder]

[Andylad13]

Hell of a job on the tailgate man!!

 

[Timthetoolman]

Ya'll get some snow up in Spencer, I'm off in the valley, wow, I'm a valley boy.

Can't find the part number for the NAPA pipe but I will.

Got to work on it some tonight, fixed my fuel pickup problem, mud flaps ain't gonna fall off any more. Found why my rear tank didn't vent, the vent line was mashed under the bed. Made a spacer for the cab mount, it had sunk about 3/4 inch, made the body lines off, made a spacer out of black nylon.

 

[Timthetoolman]

Oops missed my mud flap holder.

thanks for getting the number when you get a chance that is exactly what im looking for and still cant find one in there catalog.
