worth every penny, turns out my driver door was one good yank away from being broken so i picked a good time to do it.Becks_Bronco wrote:nice man. i have billet handles for mine too, just need to get those reinforcement plates!
Thanks Matt! Super stoked how it came out.VintageIronFab wrote:Man I love the OG tailgate! Makes me want to have one in stock just in case I want one!!
So initially I wanted to run the 80-86 tailgate because I saw this truck and really liked how it came out and it was almost 100% bolt on aside from having to change the latch pins, but they don’t make a reproduction one stamped “FORD” and people were asking $400-$500 for rusted out/bowed ones. I remembered that 87-91 had stamped tailgates too on some years and found a mint one on CL about an hour away for $150, had it painted for $300 and slapped it on.VintageIronFab wrote:What is that from exactly? Funny as hell how the later model ones all get trashed and look like trash because of the inlay- so much cleaner and cooler !!
Honestly it doesn’t quite fit as well as I had hoped, basically it bunches around the trans tunnel but since I’ll have the console in there I’m just going to cut and fold it over to try and get the humps out best I can.Becks_Bronco wrote:How is your carpet settling in? Better than the vinyl? I still haven't gotten to mine since i'm waiting on speaker stuff.
Thanks dude, I need to do the rest of the cab, definitely have noticed heat/cold retention is a lot better already.Coveredwagonoverland wrote:Looking awesome!
I just insulated the entire wagon, made little road noise difference, at least not as much as I’d have liked, but the heat definitely stays out of the truck better, off road noise is significantly reduced, which is awesome.
