I didn't get any bolts with my Dynastar Body Mount Kit, so I ordered some factory ones ...I'm disappointed that they don't appear to be plated except for the nuts (top left). Bummed.

Was there a part number for this?

Agreed, If I don't get a decent resolution on this I am fine with going on as much social media as I can with my experiences. I'm giving them a chance to fix it, ball is in their court. Like @gsnyder said, lining up the floor panels....it doesn't look good for them fitting either.

Has anyone ever drilled this out? There's a pile of gummy welding on there.

Do you have a part #?

We're you able to return the RS ones?

Ya, that sucks. I wish I knew thta before I laid out a bunch of money.

Was this pin bare metal from the factory? What are folks doing (if anything) on a refurb/resto truck? I'm waffling between drilling the pin out and powder-coating it it, or just greasing the crap out of it.

Looks like you never got a response...so I'll bump this with the same question.

Heat did the trick! Very excited for my pins to arrive (even though it'll be likely over a year before they get onto the truck) Thanks for the tips.

Hey all, I got all my door and hood hinge pins out ok, but the windshield ones are killing me! I've cut off the nub at either end, soaked on penetrating oil and have been wailing on the with a hammer over a socket and can barely make it move. I don't have a press, any tips?

Thanks for sharing, glad to know I'm not crazy. It's fairly annoying that we need to do that extra work for what should essentially be a lego piece to fit in.

What was your solution?

Just lining up my Real Steel rockers and something isn't right. It's aligned but about 1/2" too short (yes I ordered the appropriate year). Anyone else have similar issues?

Ya, it was rough at first but I was using this piece to see how good my autobody skills are prior to tackling the project truck.
