I have been slacking on reporting what I have been doing lately (and I started this thread) shame on me. Anyway in the last few weeks I have installed new towing mirrors, tinted the windows, installed a bumper valance, and replaced the door speakers in my dually and replaced the washer bottle and intermediate shaft on the wife's Tahoe.

Here is the dually. The mirrors made a HUGE difference!



Speakers -



Valance -

 

I got the mirror lights wired up to work as running and turn signals (looks great at night)...

nice job shamrock and clean truck looks like no rust for the year very well taken care of

 

Thanks man, yeah it has been an SC truck since new so there isn't any rust thankfully!

 

lol i have a question i have heard of two ways to redo my cab corners and rockers
one being have them welded
and the other way some one suggested to use body glue
i dont think that is a good idea but have you ever heard of or seen that done and if so how long did it last and how did it look

 

The only right way is to weld in new metal.

 

yep thats what i thaught that guy wasnt the sharpest tool in the shed anyway that told me that just wanted to make sure

 

i replaced my tbi gasket and runs and drives great in drive not overdrive
idles great dont die out on me anymore
but it still shifts stupid in overdrive so im thinkin overdrive is going out

 

Fixed the tube on the frame thats the top of your suspension hooks up to ( it snapped off)
re welded new tips on
and drove it around for fun
