Truck looks great! Best of luck w/ it. Will be following along. Quick question tho.... What do these bolt to underneath? I believe one on the...
I'm not a painter, but what about matte clear? Should preserve where it's at now, right? Without changing the appearance.
Thanks again for everyone's help. I learned a bit about the door adjustments in this process and how to go about it should I need it in the future.
Right. And hopefully not suggesting this is any fault of the Altman latch, although having some different strike bolt mounting locations sure...
I did those initially. I was under the impression those are only forward/back for the door though. If I loosen both will it have upward movement...
Well, the rain held off so I tried adjusting the door. It seems like the hinges are all the way up. In fact, if you look at the top of these...
If I do, it's all the way down. The way this striker plate sits on the cab, it really doesn't allow for much, movement at all.
Nope. I wish it did. In fact, your whole setup looks different. What year truck? Even the door jamb, where the Altman strike plate bolts to, looks...
Thanks guys! Looks like it may rain this afternoon, and my garage walls are tighter than the gap in my doors, so I might have to wait a couple...
Thanks guys! You'll have to be patient with me as I've never addressed this area of concern yet. And I just want to be sure so I borrowed this pic...
If I go this route, I think I will swap sides. Using the striker plate originally intended for the passenger side will place the pre-drilled...
The problem is that I can't get the door to close and latch. The top of the door plate is hitting the strike bolt. That's why I thought maybe...
Yea, The back of the door is probably a little low. I just went out and looked at it. I also measured where it was hitting the strike bolt and...
Hi guys, I was hoping to get some opinions here. I wanted a nicer solution to shutting my doors than what oem was providing so I decided to give...
This one is a favorite of mine..... [ATTACH]
I came across this same picture the other day and it was very helpful. I thought this page in general was very helpful in diagnosing my problem....
It didn't exactly come w/ it. It was laying around and I was given it. The ICM didnt have any included in the box. More interested in everyones...
I just had to replace the coil/cap/ICM on mine and used the clear gel that the shop gave me with it. It wasnt specified on the little packet, but...
Built a little flag pole to fit in the bedside post holes. Stained it to match the bed. Made the truck a little more patriotic to cruise around in...
Looks like a nice little flip to me! Good job....and if the patina look is selling, then build it that way.
I'm planning to lift the truck up tomorrow and start poking around, but was hoping (with a crude description of the sound) that someone may be...
Nice! Looking forward to following this thread
Check out the vid. It shows the whole graph for each fan.
[MEDIA] I found it pretty interesting.
Mine is a picture we snapped on the drive home last October. I can't remember if we were in PA/MD or WV when we took it though.
That part about the Torrey pines hill climb reminded me about the sign they have posted there.... [IMG] Sent from my iPhone using The H.A.M.B....
Only because there's already one on that side. I wouldn't be tapping a new one in. Sent from my iPhone using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
10-4, thanks! Sent from my iPhone using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
Longest drive so far for me has been from IL to NJ. Didn't bring anything...I just made sure all my hotel stops were close to parts stores in case...
Thanks pork! The rear end has about 2,500 miles on it since being built so I want to change the fluid anyway. The PO didn't have much information...
