flanged and bonded with 3m 8115 panel bonding adhesive topped with crush strand fiberglass filler topped with body filler

Oh, so the truck body was stepped down to accept the replacement panels???

Did you find the body crease was ok in the Tabco wheel arch?

Because the ones for my '87 definitely were not.

so I picked up some used Lightning rims. Thinking of sanding them down and painted them this gun metal grey and painted the grill to match.

Looking good! How are you going to finish the inside of the bed?

Those wheels should look good, but sanding them is going to be a pain. You don't have someone nearby that could media blast them?

Hello. Well it’s a no on the lightning rims. I was not happy how they looked and they stuck out to far on the front fenders. So I am staying with the FR500 for now. Grill and tail lights got painted.

Love the grille but tell me more about the lights? You painted them?
