Thanks for the kind words F250NZ, means a lot.

Craigerf100, I installed the aluminum filler panel. The gate already had the holes.

Quick update: Received my bumpers back from the plater and installed them on the truck, and installed the new trim! :D Only thing I need for the exterior now is taillight trim and it's a few months on backorder... :x

Also made some progress on the inside by finishing up my dash and putting a cd/am/fm radio in the glovebox while keeping the original radio in the dash.

I'll be sure to post up some pics of everything I've done recently.

Craigerf100, I put the aluminum panel that goes over the letters back on. Mine came with one so it had holes in the tailgate.

Did a half-hanger flip on the rear today. Gonna probably take a round out of the front coils in the morning. I'll be sure to post some pics when I'm finished!
