So far this thread has been mostly some small stuff, but I landed a new job recently and decided to make a big move to keep up with my buddies S10
So Sunday night we unbolted everything that was closer than 3/4" to the body and ran it down the road to a body shop to get a re-spray in the same sweet harvest gold. The body guy actually commented on both the shape the body was in (which is good considering spending its life in Eastern Canada with the salted roads) and said how impressed he was with the seat conversion. Enough with the bragging, here's some before pics with everything removed.
This would be why my tailgate handle wouldnt work.
Was worried about the condition of the tailgate. With the plastic liner on it the snow and whatnot likes to get under there and rust them out, however the undercoating seems to have done its job here.
Thanks for looking guys, I'll have some more pics up when I get it back from the shop.
