But I’d been putting it off for long enough.
The day I got the truck
Sooo much better.
Harley Davidson repos and the grille both sources from eBay.
Replacing the two piece headlights with one piece ‘05-‘07 style requires trimming out the header panel with the dremel. And it was over 100 degrees outside. Heat plus lots of sweat plus lots of fiberglass dust. Oh yeah, that was fun.
The truck looks a million times better though, so I’m pleased.

Updated to add a before picture. Not the best, apparently I didn’t take many pictures of the front of the truck. Headlights were really ugly and yellowed, and the grille was in bad shape too.

Looks like a whole new truck. Good work.

That looks great. My work trucks rust out long before I let them die. Nice truck.

Nicely done!
I did some truck work today too. I put the lower urethane half of my front bumper back on. I think that’s been off since February. Maybe March. I dunno.
Forgot to take pics though.

When it comes to cars, I’m absolutely a Eurosnob.
But I prefer trucks from ‘Murica. Always have. I’m originally from Texas, and I love me a big diesel. I bought this truck just over four years ago.
And no, it isn’t manual. 6MT 7.3's cost about 2-3 times more than auto 7.3's, and are hard to come by in good condition. The deal on this truck was too good to pass up.

We don’t 3ven have an NA Miata 9wner anymore. And our number of Chevy Cruze owners is soon going to drop to one and possibly none. Not that anyone cares about that last part.
To be fair, giant ‘Murican trucks are tons of fun and useful. And we converted at least one SUV driver to the cult of wagon (Under_Scor e).
