Good to know they did you right. The box says Crew Cab on it, but these steps are far to short. Put them next to my 04 double cab and they are just the right length. After talking with them it seems they are gonna make the situation correct.

So the steps have been shipped back and I'm awaiting the new ones. Did a little "fender persuasion" to help these big wheels and tires clear. Basically I dont want to cut this truck so I took a hammer to the plastic piece behind the wheel and pushed it back just enough that I can clear lock to lock in reverse on flat ground. Definitely a noticeable difference. Pics show what I pushed back, the main spot where I was rubbing clearing now, and the tire at full lock.

 

Yes the truck is filthy. I live on a country road that is being repaved [emoji37]cfad38384a7219024519b88d478feb91.jpg73303a606ba9e947a6d922619c096f26.jpgfd7414f3ff2356febb0f7c6d460b37b9.jpg

Still need to polish and wax to get rid of outlines but the dirty work is done. This is the 3rd truck I've debadged and I still hate the work involved [emoji23]a5fe0f5df6c2fdc60033c65e7ec26625.jpg0038726a2f1d9cb2a24e79026f75aa70.jpg

If this helps anyone I had very noticable ghost lettering after debadging. Meguires ScratchX 2.0 and Meguires Cleaner Wax completely took care of it with no paint damage. Very pleased with the outcome. I dont have a before picture cause I was slightly upset at first, but the bowtie, LT, dealer sticker, and silverado on the tailgate and silverado on the doors were very noticable. 1aebd585c5d1ae03bc64e347987948d2.jpg32c6a58ae8bf3cf0d493fc483b998df9.jpgd120a4c99b1a7c24738244f68e76954e.jpgf2ea463e5378459f13f2de8dbe0e4de8.jpg

As it sits now I've basically finished all of my original plans. Still need a black bow tie, but I'm very happy with this build for as low of a budget as I've kept it.
This is a pic from when it was purchased on Dec 5, 2017 and today showing the changes. 87ced7d0b0e7aa905d36b69eec05267e.jpg

      What did you do to your "other" car (aka musclecar) today

      By Jsdirt · Posted

      Even tougher is the 5.0 / 302. That's what this one has.    https://postimg.cc/Z9XRrCSg   https://postimg.cc/4n3F3yzY   Just realized I had the airbox removed in the engine pic, lol.

      TCM Tuning 6L80E

      I did the new thermostat after doing a 'flip' for a year. Runs as cool one way as the other in the summer but in the winter there is a bit of a floor. Yellow with the new 70 C thermostat. My data over the life of the unit to date. Still need more cooler. Anyway that floor helped both winter fuel economy and shift quality in the winter. I found it a good balance.

      Evan Williams Bottled in Bond   So pouring the last of a bottle of Evan Williams Black label last night I set off the the state store for a refill only to be denied the by an empty shelf. Rats.    What the did have was a bottle of Evan Williams Bottled in Bond. 100 proof. Hum, a few bucks more but a known distiller. Lets have a swing at it. ( I have before )    Cracked it open and pour a serving over ice. Hum.... more heat, yes. More alcohol naturally. But the barreling not the proof brings the taste and this one came up short.    Oh is was familiar but the heat ran the barrel over like a Peterbilt runs over a squirrel. Could use a heavier toasting of the oak me thinks or perhaps a longer barreling. Who knows. But what I can say is ice or a water back isn't the answer. What kills one kills them both. Sad. It is a pleasant drink....if you have little to compare it to.

      Bridgestone vs Goodyear tires?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      I've had exactly one set of Bridgestone. Lasted five year and 125,000 miles and had I known better 15oK would have been a cake walk. I would have bought a like set had they not tripled in price since the first set. I removed them at said mileage with 5/32" remaining in dead even wear all four. They were fuel efficient, quite, comfortable and predictable.    Early on I got a very good alignment checked at least once a year, sometimes twice; kept the tires properly inflated, balanced and rotated. And I've found that many a tire issue can be avoided with great maintenance practices. Lot's of tire dealers will do rotation and balance (simple) for free for as long as you own the tire they sold you so no excuse not to.    Bead prep, alloy integrity and stem health have a huge impact on inflation stability. There are more mountings done poorly that perfectly. Finding a good tire guy is gold and as important as finding a tire you like.    That 3X price increase now two sets of "other tires' later is starting look like a bargain.      Bad maintenance kills more tires than bad tires.
