In the bass pro clothing section, focus on the background. From a photoshoot last fall. The other two photos were from the shoot. I am not sure if they will be in a catalog or in the store.
I rewired the reverse lights with a relay trigger recently. And I really like the look and simplicity of this bumper as well.. Matches the lines of the truck well, protects the license plate, uses cruiser lights for the license plate lamp etc. I imagine there are maybe 4 in the wild? Nolen prob has 2, i have one and op machine has one on his truck? Worth whatever timeframe it takes to get one. @OPMACHINE has a day job so reach out to him if your interested but he does these when he has time not for a living.. The older i get the more i appreciate waiting on something done correctly and well.
Pulled a 4.10 arb diff out of Chefs 40 frame and tossed it in his 45 pickup this weekend. Taking his 45 to the solid axle summit next month. Now the switches look weird but I can fix that later. For now it has a front locker. In the parts pile was a very old small arb compressor and some generic 12v air solenoids. It is nice to use up some junk lying around the shop, and work in my own garage for a change.
If anyone has a lead on a small push/pull switch that would fit where the aftermarket heater switches reside on an early truck send me ideas. Somewhere is one of those mounts with the 3 holes that goes under the dash
Ahh, and I have one of his switches! I'll redo it later after full testing. For now that was the easy button
That looks better. Thanks for the idea Nolan. New knobs on the way and x2 fog light switches. For now first pull on switch is compressor, second is locker. And hooked up a heater valve pull, 3 years of popping the hood comes to an end. Now to rebuild a couple wiper motors and work on some sort of shade.
Shade and wipers functional, one wiper doesn't like to park. Worked fine on the bench, that's a later problem.
Chefs 45 got a real shake down this past week. Here she is on Black Bear going down to Telluride.
