Jeff showed up like clockwork at 9 AM this morning. He brought a friend (Cris), and I had Bob come down to help set the bed. Set in on the frame and made some decisions on the cut line for the two tone. Also decided to have a friend of Jeff's air brush the FORD emblem blue in the tailgate. Everything fit very nice. Should have it painted and back soon. His plan is to have everything done by the first of July. May or may not make that date but it would be nice if it was all done by then.
Still waiting on Goodyear to produce the "Eagle ll" tires I want. Tirerack says next production should be some time around June 22. We'll see. Still have to get the front end aligned.
Back to the glove box.

Piddling away
Been waiting for Jeff my painter to get his corn and soybeans planted so he can get back on the truck.
Meanwhile, I have been piddling around on a few things. Got all the dash components in and I just have to finish the interior of the glove box. I also need to order a spring for the glove box door to hold it closed and a couple of small bumpers for the door to close against. Also got a third tail light that I will mount inside the back window at the bottom of the glass. Made a mount for it yesterday and will have Jeff paint it blue. I bought a dome light from Yogi's that has built in switches . Need to make a mounting box for that. Started to mount the front bumper and found I need some more Stainless Steel bolts and nuts.
Jeff will bring the pickup bed back tomorrow for the final fitting before he paints it. We need to get the cut line between the blue and silver matching with the cab lines. He then takes it back home and does the final paint on it. Should have it back in a week or so. It is already primed and block sanded.
After that it's the last pieces, cab doors and the hood. Getting close.
