The weather has made it a little bit tough to work on the truck but been doing the easy stuff just to get things going. So far removed the side mirrors and upgraded a few bulbs to LED. But I will continue posting to this thread as I go along.

Started off with removing the side mirrors. Ended up using some 150 grit sandpaper to remove the rust and dirt.



Ended removing the door panels too since a few push pins were damaged.





The screws for the side mirrors


Removed the windshield wiper blades too.



Finished product

Looks great! I did very similar work to my mirrors and blades. I went with black paint though on the blades, and also painted the plastic "gasket" between the mirrors and door. dde1c Recently painted the stock wheels a flat black and polished the wheel center cap. The toolbox had rusting, too, that I sanded down and repainted with white appliance spray paint.

Did you replace the flasher unit to the electric one to fix hyper flashing?

The flasher unit for the turn signals? If so no, have not noticed hyper flashing but was planning on upgrading all the lights to LED, including the turn signals which will require load resistors.

The black wheels match up really well with the color of your truck, I have been thinking about painting mine black too.

The electronic flasher is a direct replacement of the OEM flasher. Supposedly, with this flasher you don't need to solder in resister loads. $14.95 price.
