    Thx, will double check those. Funny you mention that, not sure exactly where we will settle yet but I have certainly been asking about such things. My biggest concern was the roof basket, but hadnt thought about those smaller itemso_O

    Last minute touch was to paint tow hooks red. Quickly put it together.

    I wasnt sure whether to replace the hazy fog light with stocks, projector or leds. But amazon had a sale and made the decision for me. Mounted them on stock brackets. Will wire up to stock fog light wiring.

    Started this weekend on grille n bumpers (painting bedliner). Found some light rust and sprayed with converter. Also properly mount cheap air horns from previous owner.

    Next I will be doing the bumpers, grill, and brush guard. If you have figured it out yet, I am not a fan of chrome. Pics soon!

    The next item was some rust I had on the roof. So I sanded it down and sprayed it with converter. Also as a layer of protection I got Herculiner and did the roof last night. It might seem like overkill but I have a large roof basket and I am sure to drop, scuff and scratch the roof otherwise.

    Got my 2in wheel spacers yesterday:). I got theses wheels new for $260 but they are 8in wide and I would have wanted 9-10in, it makes the tire look much wider. But in my home its function before fashion and budget before beauty, so I got the spacers because the wheels tucked into the body:eek:

    Nice! They are getting hard to find with low mileage. No air suspension and I do have the front driverside link also. That will be handled soon.

    Heading to Oaxaca, that is one of the reasons I decided to do 1st gen expy. I have seen quite a few of these down there and the same gen F150 everywhere

    Got under the truck and found some rust, hit it with hammer to see integrity and so far so good. Looks ugly but with my 7in wire wheel, rust converter and undercoat it should be ok.

    Yesterday finished up on roof rails, coating was peeling. I did a quick sanding and 3 coats of epoxy paint.
