no big shocker there.

yup, they do look good on a red truck.

I loved them on my first truck only got rid of them because of the 1/2 ton swap.

I could definitely see myself piling those rims/tires in the garage (they are too old to trust, but original and irreplaceable) and get some different rims with new tires. I'd be terrified to drive around such a slice of preserved history.

such a fun build! love it!

dang. was looking to see if they posted more pics but facebook has either buried the post or it got deleted. I can't find it again.

was posted on facebook somewhere by a guy that's friends with the owner (who apparently worked for Jeep back in the day)

it should be all hidden.

I need to see some paperwork.

I used the 5-way as a chisel, then moved to used the flat razors as a chisel for fine work, then finished up with sandpaper/scouringpad.

that's legit scary!

I applaud you for... um... not dying.

a younger me would have!

I see a nice bumper endcap and a seatback with headrests. and a center console. and a radio. and some flares.

column mounted shifter indicator!!!

I used flat razors as little wedges for my first one. this most recent one I used my 5way and a hammer.

try using straight razors are tiny wedges and start hammer them in along the easiest edge.

I used a small hammer, 5-way and a straight razor scraper to get the old stuff off. always a fan of new ideas though, so keep us posted on how that works out. make sure you have goggles and ear plugs so the yucky stuff doesn't get into any of your face holes.

dead as the proverbial doorknob.

the butyl rope is what I was thinking of. as long as it says explicitly that it's for headlights. https://www.amazon.com/s?k=butyl+headlight&crid=25CU8MS639QON&sprefix=butyl+headlight+%2Caps%2C101&ref=nb_sb_noss_2

nope, got discouraged with what was available and how much they cost (shipping suuuuuucks) so I've decided that the originals are good enough for my all-original truck.

score!!!
