This a great thread! I have watched this thread since the beginning. I just got through with my swap, and its been a bit since I last looked in here.

Great progress, and that is gonna be one sweet ride.

The Ranger head lights just kick! Make it look MEAN! lol

Keep up the good work.

Yeah, the primer isn't helping either. I'm guessing it will look much better once you get the paint on!

Gotcha...makes it more practical I guess, but it loses that clean line. The price you pay for a little functionality!

it looks better in person I promise

What's the line on the back where it looks like your "bed" cover is hitting the side of the car?

that line is where the tonneau cover opens, and it goes 1 inch down to the body line to keep a tight seal ....see how it opens and there is a lip

the guy that was gonna paint it said he was getting cameras at his shop so he couldnt do it,,,,, he now has a new paint job on his s-10 that's odd.......anyway since I built TruckStiva I figured I may as well give it a shot at painting it. so far so good. thanks got the comments the more input the better and more motivation

[Prafeston]

Oh boy! Excited!

[Festiva_Fred]

Sweeeet!

[daniel_cogar]

I haven't posted a update lately because I've been doing a ton of body work but I got it all done finally and primed it today!!

[daniel_cogar]

valve cover gauge_half_inch did for me for TruckStiva

[daniel_cogar]

Idk yet ..I've got a lot left ...and I just got called out by the state to help with this power outage. They said they don't know how long ill be on duty. Yayy national guard

[DriverOne]

Will we be lucky enough to see it at FM6?

[daniel_cogar]

Looking awesome, I like the lift gate !!

thanks, ive got a little more body work left. and the guy im going to help paint it rescheduled on me, so that pushes everything forward a week to Saturday the 7th. then 8-14 ive got hazmat. so after that the interior should go back in easy then finish the engine, exhaust, and save up for ms.
