Ah forgot to mention I'm closing in the holes where the old running lights were and I'm gonna put in all new LED running lights.

Thanks bear!
Well I got the brake hose installed today. Anyone ever had to replace the brake hoses on a 1979 Chevy dually, I feel ur pain! All is done. It stops easing on two brakes now instead of one! One last test will be to apply brakes with no hands on the steering wheel. It shouldn't pull to either side it pulled to driver side before. Turns out the bracket holding the line down crushed it. All good. Still has a lil air in the lines but def stops now! Whew!!!
I went ahead and snapped some new pix of the truck all the way down I went ahead on did the homemade leaf spring stops relocation. That was earlier but I wanted to bring that up cuz it brought the truck down another 2" cheap mod and wasn't too easy. Like I said CHEAP
Momma likes those mods. The rims will be shipped tomorrow hopefully. I prolly will just have Trevor make a set of adapters for me and compile center caps. I love the old school body style.
Plan to keep it that way.

Some shots today check the steering wheel turning to the left while braking. As I apply the brakes now she stays straight. awesome

Was able to fill all the holes on the pass side. And fix some of the imperfections from the glass job on the fender. Guess I will need the practice. Considering I will have to extend the fenders with the new rims instead of bring in the rearend
