Got started on sound proofing the cab and got some genuine gm parts: lock cylinders, window regulator with motor, and outside door handles(not shown).

On Saturday I got the side patched. It might have been a little over kill using 2" spacing on my rivets and a ton of sikaflex, but I don't think there going to fall off

Sunday I got the back and both side panels cut. I think they turned out pretty well!

Anyone know why all my pictures show up sideways, and how do I fix them?

Lastly for Sunday I got the windows rough cut and horizontal studs mounted under the windows(the ends of the studs will be will be welded next time it goes to the fab shop).

My brother found me some used aluminum wheels with lug nuts, caps and ok tires for $320. They could use some polishing but there in great shape.

Hi,

Did you installed the same size wheels or bigger??

Why I am asking . . . ?

I checked out a few days ago a Type I unit.
I have noticed that the back axle is very low, like 6-7" from the floor.
Although I have no intention doing heavy off-roading, I want to be able to get off the main road
without sitting on the axle while crossing a rain puddle.

The dealer made some inquiry and he told me that it is not recommended to install bigger wheels.

Thanks,

Yishay
