Brew, it caught fire!- that was the straw that broke the camels back!- the idea of the woodyard catching fire was enough to push them to finally change it out!

Yes, but not for a long time. I actually haven't had ACTUAL carbonated soda pop in over 5 years. I buy the syrup and make it with regular water. I know - sounds weird, but carbonation and I aren't on speaking terms. I love the flavor of DDP though.... so, I compromised.

That's the one, right there! Seems like my Expy had something similar.

Yea those are the stock type that clip into those holes in the rocker.

I planed on using the type I got from AK for the new rockers. Those didn't require holes. I believe they went down with a adhesive strip.

Yea I can't believe how much of that is gone, that's a lot of steel. Did that take years to wear that much or days after the bearing went?

Maybe mine was too early to have holes? Either way, it seems like I've come out on top in that game, lol.

Right! That must of been a 97 thing. No guard, no holes , no rusty rockers. They should of left them that way or added that piece AK had. No holes under that.

Mine is a 6/96 truck. Side exit exhaust, the stupid headlights, different A/C drier and hoses.... LOL. Now maybe another difference with that rocker piece.

That pic was from like 2012. Yea, I've had those rockers for quite awhile. That's as far as I got with it. Then I sold that place, never made the time to work on those again. I got close once lol.
