[QUOTE="Riley P, post: 84582, member: 2"] So, I don't have an old Corvette so the closest I can do is share my experience with building my replacement truck while I collect parts to work on my old truck. The project was to quickly do the "new" truck so I had something for winter while I took my time to work on my old truck that I originally started on. However, the "new" truck build was started in September of 2014 and I finished it just in time for the snow to be gone this Spring. :rofl: Also I should state that although I did about 95% of the work, I have a friend that knows these trucks inside and out and helped me when I got stuck or had questions. This build [I]was[/I] supposed to be pretty quick. It is a theft recovery so it involved replacing the smashed side window glad on both the passenger door and extended cab, put new hub bearings on the front, replace the steering column, and fix the transmission leak. Here is the truck and how it sat for a year and a half out in the weather with the drivers window down and the passenger windows smashed out from when it was stolen :Ack2::[ATTACH=full]3315[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]3316[/ATTACH] Lots of tape residue to remove. That stuff sucked and was glued on! WD-40 seemed to work best. [ATTACH=full]3317[/ATTACH] The truck was used to pull out a 3/4 ton pulling a bobcat. It got it out, but the bumper bent a little. [ATTACH=full]3318[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]3319[/ATTACH] The truck was also used to deliver papers and two cans of garbage later, I finally saw it had carpet in the extended cab. What a soggy mess. [ATTACH=full]3320[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]3321[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]3322[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]3323[/ATTACH] These trucks are way too easy to steal.... [ATTACH=full]3324[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
