Willdatsun Posted September 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2012 Done some more work, the roof made a sound like a gong if you tap it with your fingers, we took the headliner out to investigate and viola.. the factory sound deadening was gone! We found something that wasn't supposed to be there too.. a big mouse nest. But no mice at least. Anyway we put a load of that sticky tar pad stuff under there, more than the factory would have put, and also put some in the sides of the cab, behind the door, and even some on the back panel of the cab. The truck is quieter now and the radio sounds so much better now that the roof is not echoing and behaving like a big drum skin! We cleaned and adjusted the rear brake shoes (they were miles out) and reset the parking brake correctly and lubed it all up. Greased the kingpins, and mended the seatbelt buzzer and warning lamp. headliner pulled down mouse nest in back corner putting in the pads (like dynamat but cheaper) And the sides of the truck Quote Link to comment

Aibast Posted September 21, 2012 Report Share Posted September 21, 2012 Looking good. Hope to get my truck half that good. Quote Link to comment
Willdatsun Posted September 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2012 Thanks Took the grille out, painstakingly masked it up and did it silver on the edges and black in the middle including the headlamp buckets. I was sort of going for '69 Charger colour scheme and I'm quite pleased with how it came out. Took the hood finisher off (broke two studs, need to sort that) but we resprayed the finisher strip silver along the bottom and satin black at the top. This means the silver lines up with the silver on the grille as it is the same thickness. We had to adjust the hood to get it all to line up nice. Looks pretty sharp, what do you think? While the badge was off I coloured in the chrome with a marker pen, looks quite good, need to find me a blue pen now. 1 Quote Link to comment
Juan Valdez Posted September 28, 2012 Report Share Posted September 28, 2012 Grill looks great. I'm in the process of doing the same with mine. Hope it turns out as nice as yours. Good job! Quote Link to comment
Dattokai Posted September 28, 2012 Report Share Posted September 28, 2012 Show the final product of the badge when you're done. Mine lost the color, might do that too.. if it looks right. Clean kingcab! Quote Link to comment

Willdatsun Posted October 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2012 Shined up the paint on the Right hand side and painted the previously brown wheel rims white! Quote Link to comment
Eagle_Adam Posted October 8, 2012 Report Share Posted October 8, 2012 the white is much better! Quote Link to comment
Steroid Posted October 9, 2012 Report Share Posted October 9, 2012 Congratulations ! ! Are You required, or do You plan to just for the look, have to have orange/clear Euro turn signal lenses by either law or inspection? Quote Link to comment
alleycat Posted October 10, 2012 Report Share Posted October 10, 2012 king cab is looking great. Quote Link to comment
Aibast Posted October 10, 2012 Report Share Posted October 10, 2012 I like the wheels - just so cool classic look. I never like modern wheels on oldschool cars. The wheels should alway match the era of a car. On this one the white steel rims + hubcaps just perfect. The grill came out great also. What size is the front tire??? Looks small, needs more sidewall height. Quote Link to comment
Willdatsun Posted October 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 Indeed it is a bit small, its just what I had kicking about. Yes we are not allowed to run red turn signals in this country. We have some other laws too such as cars after 79 have to have a rear fog lamp too. Takin' the dawgies for a ride.

Draker Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 What beautiful pups.. Big one looks like my old pup just with bigger ears. Truck is looking great! Quote Link to comment

Aibast Posted October 18, 2012 Report Share Posted October 18, 2012 do you have to use cargo tyres on your truck in england - i have to in estonia (185 R14C)? As for the fog light, in here its from 95 and up that car has to have rear foglight + third brake light. Also we can't use red direction indicators. Just ones that burn amber or yellow.

Willdatsun Posted March 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2013 on the UK spec trucks (one ton) we have to use C tyres (example 185x14C) but because this truck is an import there will be no information about it saying it should have those , and i think maybe the USA 620 is only a half ton? (lighter springs?) getting some good use out of this! Quote Link to comment
