Hey hey you added them! Damn she looks good! 

 

Hope you have nothing goin on The 21st of feb to join pirate and I. 

 

I'm gonna take a moment and read through this build. 

 

 

Wow, there's a lot of similarities in the mods we have done for our trucks goin on.  I love it! Absolutely gorgeous. Gotta love AZ trucks.

I have the same radio you just put in. I did mine a couple months ago.

Nice! How does it perform for you? And how did you go about the wiring harness situation?

I just spliced into the original wiring. Only had an issue with one of the panel light wires. The front knob backlights can be dimmed but not the display itself. Otherwise it works good.

When I removed my flares, I got very lucky and only one stud broke off. Most of the nuts came off pretty hard. After I had them off I chased all the threads on the studs and nuts with a tap and die. Then I replaced the broken stud. Putting back together went smooth.

Put a 4 cylinder coolant bottle in my truck. Wasn't to hard, just had to relocate a couple of items and extend some wires.  Looks a lot better then the cheap aftermarket one I had over by where the pressure bottle normally goes. A thanks to eaglescout526 for getting me the parts.

Finally got around to painting around my door windows black. Just trying to keep the Comanche Chief look. I also painted the side vents.  Have to do my door handles, since they are faded.

Are those the new style fronts with the AMC logo on them?

 Can't get nothing past you. Yes, I found some NOS  newer style fronts. With a little paint and some vinyl decal material, I made them match the rears.
