Thanks guys! The color is more silver than I think it should be, but seems to match all the color charts I keep looking at to reassure myself I didn't screw this up. I'm also going bedline the bottom of the truck and some fender flares to give it the two tone look of the newer trucks. I'll have to check out the Eddie Bauers. I've been looking at the king ranches.

Now that things have dried for a few days I plan to try and mount them on the truck tonight.

junk,

Bumper looks good!!! The color reminds me of the "Eddie Bauer Stripe" color on all Ford's that with the Eddie Bauer package have along the rocker panels. Has been a similar color since the 80's.

I was thinking the same.

Glad you guys think the color matches the Eddie Bauer Stripes. The Eddie Bauer color is closer to what I thought the Arizona Beige looked like on the 2005 king ranch I stole the color from. I'm going to bed line the sides of the pickup like the Eddie Bauer stripe. I also have some fender flares that will get bed lined also.

I got the front and rear bumpers installed, but need to get the running boards mounted up then I'll post some pictures of everything installed.

Here are some pictures with the bumpers and running boards on. Rear bumper needs aligned better. The trucks really dusty from sitting. I still need to bedline the bottom of the cab and some fender flares.

That's coming along nicely. Defiantly going to be one of a kind.

I appreciate all the comments guys. Thanks!

I did some more piddly stuff over the last couple days. Reinstalled the receiver hitch, installed an ATS air box for the turbo, fixed a loose exhaust clamp, put some paper over the back window opening to seal it off, installed some rear door weatherstripping. Nothing earth shaking, but it all needed to be done. I and going to order the headliner material so I can get it recovered and reinstalled. Then I can put in an official rear window.

Now the truck will go to the back burner for a while as I have a boat I need to paint for a guy.

Where do i get a rear window? I'm looking more for a solid window than a slider, but mainly looking for inexpensive. I'd prefer to go new, but may go used on the glass if I could find a good one.

Thanks

I've got a solid one that I think is in good shape... I don't know how in the world I'd get it to you....

It shouldn't be that bad I wouldn't think for a flat window. Check with a local autoglass shop.

 

[79jasper]

They're fairly cheap.
Call up some glass companies.
One told me he would install for $25, think he said he could get me a used slider for like $50.
Not hard to install, once you know what you're doing. Lol
Ask how I know. Haha

I called a local shop the other day and they quoted me 130 installed each for the front door windows. So I asked them what if I carry the glass out and do it myself? 90 bucks a pop.

I bought new side glass from my local parts store for like 65 a piece cash & carry.

I rounded up a sliding back window with weather stripping for 20 bucks at the swap meet. That was convenient. So now I need to get the headliner installed then get the rear window installed.

Is that the air box you got from me? If so, it's nice to see it has a nice home. That truck is looking awesome, color me jealous.

 

[junk]

Yeah that is the airbox I got from you. THanks again! It looks good in there.

Well nothing much to report. Summers are always busy on other stuff. I'm also working on a 50 ford ***** for a guy.

Only new issue is my crew cab won't start. I'm thinking it's low on fuel. So I plugged in the fuel tank selector switch and the gage pegs full pluss some. Defintitely seems like an open circuit. I'm guessing a ground isn't hooked up. This should be fun!!

Hoping some fuel will get it going again.
