Good Job, Ray! Outstanding!! It looks like a new truck. I really like the way the paint color turned out. :beer:

I spent most of Saturday working on the a/c install. The compressor is done, the evaporator and condensor have been trial fitted, and after I take another batch of pictures I will finsh installing them. I will post everything on SS.

Fantastic job Ray.

Are you going teflon plate (dedicated trailer) or just grease (random trailers) for the 5th wheel?

The Teflon plates are the way to go; no mess. They are about $20 at Weldon truck parts. Make sure you get the retaining ring with it. In a pinch you can use a poly mud flap.

When are you taking it for a test drive with the trailer? We need to take pictures and video of the maiden voyage.
