Got the parts. Thanks! I'm going to try to find time to put the housing on today...

Did you manage to get the spacer (windshield) in the box? I dug around but couldn't find it.

I got the CCOT tailgate. It (barely) fits the existing holes. I actually had to leave two bolts out on the left side for now. I had tried two lift gates that Bull had and neither of them came close to lining up; my rig is "wider" than either his 79 or 73.

I think that when I get a chance I will elongate horizontally the 8 hinge holes on the body so that it (and maybe one of Bull's lift gates) fits better. But it's secure for now.

Oh, and in your PM you asked about the red TEQ sticker on my wheel. I bought that last year off of someone here on mud who had made them. I can't remember who from and can't find the thread. I'll keep looking...
