Funny, this past weekend used combo of Testors Model Master fluorescent orange and red to to age the clear radiator overflow hose on my 69’ (aged to keep equal dignity for a 50 year old rig). Also aged the pristine radiator cap I got from @RAGINGMATT with hydrogen peroxide (to rust it) and rust converter to patina it, and steel wool to age the decal.

Is that the CCOT quarter panel? How did you determine how far down from the ledge to cut? What was your measurement? I have a set of the CCOT quarters and this project is in my near future. Thanks.
Gave cowboy some bling. Lol.
I ordered the quarter panel from realSteel, it took a lot of finessing to get it to fit right. My old quarter was pretty far gone. I also replaced the rear sill before I tackled the quarter panel. For measuring, I really just held in place over my existing one and marked it out with a metal scribe..

We sold the rims and tires to another local Mudder. The “old” rims were powdered, we are going to have the new ones painted a darker grey. By the time we had the powdered rims unmounted stripped, painted and remounted, new is the way to go. They are pretty decently priced if you order into your dealer. Still up in the air over which tire to run. BTW, thanks for sending winter our way.

How do you find the 10.5 width? I read somewhere someone was not happy with this. I don’t have powersteering so I do not want to go with 12.5. Also in Australia the cops don’t like it if tyres are showing past the body line.

Driving around town I have had now problems with turning the 33x10.5’s with manual steering. Shoot, they seem to be easier than the 31x10.5 that I replaced. The KM3’s tuck very nicely into the rear wheel wells.

I measured the tread that is in contact with the road surface and it measures 7" wide. The actual tire height is 32 3/8" tall. Also wanted to include a better view of how far outside the fenders and wheel wells they stick out, not very much at all.
Thank you for that it does look to be a very good match. I will be getting the same tires as soon as I get to the truck again.
I have the CCOT quarters and found them pretty easy to work with. Willd take a bit of fineseing to get the best fit. But fitting them was fairly simple. Pretty much I just cut off everything like 4" down and removed all the spot welds. Then just fit the new panel overlapping the little bit of the old. Once in place put a cut line (sharpie in my case) and cut the rest. Then it was just a matter of lining it all up.
This was with the "overlap" before the final trimming of the old metal.
Im sure there are tons of ways to do this. This was just the way I found to be easiest.

Thanks @RAGINGMATT for the LED lamp for my headlight switch, for the first time since I’ve owned my 40 it has a lamp in it!!!
