We had rain most of the day yesterday so we didn't get it outside for pics. We'll get it outside today because we still have the tailgate to paint inside. We got the wheel well trim on, the red pinstripe between the two colors, repaired the emergency brake center cable which was broken, and hopefully found the problem of the battery draining down. There was a constant power drainage, and it looks like the most common culprit was the problem, the glove box light.

Thanks guys.
My brother Steve picked that color. He just picked it out of the chips at the auto parts store. I like it too.
We still have to paint the wheels. The new beauty rings are due in today (hopefully) so we'll put them on along with the center caps (original) that are in good shape.
Couple little things like re-routing the battery ground cable, figuring out why the left turn signals quit working, few other minor things. That's all scheduled for tomorrow.

Colors were; Red, black, white, gray, gold, silver and other colors on request.
Search eBay for: DECAL LETTERS THAT FIT 1981-1993 DODGE RAM TAILGATE (that was the exact title)
That's looking GREAT!!!
As for the windshield trim...I would recommend the black trim rather than the chrome. I ordered the chrome push-in trim and within 3 years it is looking terrible again.
