So alot of you will remember my post back in November (Here) about the truck getting a little banged up it was finally time to get it looking a little better. I finally found a junkyard that had somewhat good prices; I never knew how proud salvage yards are of even 20 year old parts. For a fender, bumper assembly, (broken...) grille, and rusty battery tray was $300! I could have gone Amazon new parts a little cheaper, but I'd rather not have a lot of fitment issues or made in China parts...
Here we have everything pulled apart where I need it. It really needed a new core support, but I did not want to spend a whole day pulling the truck apart, evacuating the AC, etc. I got it close enough to put together.
And after a couple hours back together!
I'm sure my neighbors are glad it's back together as its been on the street infront of the house for a week missing the bumper and grille.
I'll have to wait till spring comes to paint the fender. I have just enough paint left over to match. Not sure what i'm going to do about the green plastic and the used grille, while cracked in a spot, is better than what I had. I'll probably just get a new one off LMC or something.
