Hi, sorry I don't have the front sunroof catches.

Tempting to leave the frame of the skylight in....

I've taken several out, and it's usually degrees of

swearing.

Darn screws are always rusty, I've broken one frame at the seam

another degree of cursing.

but, as far as you are going on that thing, ?

of course, really no one can see up there when it's done

especially w/ 4 inch lift? Springs all the way around? Who's kit?
How much?

Darn, that's going to be a seriously hard item to find. I touched mine and they fell apart.
I know I should probably take it out, I hate painting to the edge of something. I went with the Rough Country lift that I had bought for it the first time I owned it.

I've been in contact with the original owner of this truck the whole time I've owned it and the last time I talked to him I asked for original pics of it back in the day and today he sent me some. Pretty cool to see it in the early 80's.

He told the story about him buying it. He went into the dodge dealership looking for a truck to put his Harley in the back off. When he purchased it was sitting right out side next to a Warlock. In side the show room was a lil red express. When he went to pick the truck up he noticed a couple of small scratches on the out side of it and they told him they would take care of it and come back to pick it up in a couple of days. When he came back they painted one whole side of the truck and it didn't quite match the original yellow. He was disgusted and almost didn't bring it home. He told me the original wagon wheels rusted out really quick, also had electrical problems a couple of week into owning it, sunroof leaked right off the bat(lol).

Thanks, I'm just going to take my time and not hurry it. I'll drive my ram charger and bee around this summer. I've got a steady income coming in now and I shouldn't have to sell any thing any more with my new job. With my old job I always went through a slow time and then I'd have to sell something to get me by during that time.
