Went out and started cleaning the truck up a bit, mostly around the doors since that area gets neglected a lot. After awhile of cleaning all the dirt I started working on some rust I had building up on the door sills. Sanded the spots down and now I need to get something to paint over the spots to prevent it from coming back. Also found out that I might was well get ready to replace all my weather stripping along the doors, all 4 of them. I have cuts and holes all over the place, I'm amazed water didn't find its way in during the 2 years it sat. That will be something that will have to wait until sometime in the summer after I save up some more money.

Checked my mileage (box stock '98 1500 club cab 4wd 5.9l auto trans) after a full tank of strictly around town driving (in a town whose traffic signals are not synced): 12.0MPG. Not great, but not bad. Not bad at all for mostly short trips in traffic.

I also finished up my mod wish list... it's a good thing the kids are grown and gone or it'd have to stay a wish list and never become a shopping list!

Were they test driving that car or did they just buy it? First thing I noticed after the messed up grill was the dealership license plate. Not too bad of damage done to ya, should be easy fixes.

Installed new taillights after painting them and inserting led bulbs, have turns, brakes, and reverse, but nothing when I turn lights on will work on tomorrow. sorry about the pics it was late when I got done.



also painted the side steps I got for $20 for my dads 98, they were white

004x41500, look at the bright side, at least you can get that fender painted for free since the bumper is touching it.

wermbang, those tail lights look pretty good. They match your headlights now.
