slight change to the crew cab - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

classicchev · 07-07-2010, 01:57 AM

To some it may be familiar, it used to be brown.

Full air suspension, Air bar, narrowed tubular arms, 18" Coddingtons, 355 TPI, Escalade interior, everything new except for a handfull of parts.

Here is a couple pics from today. First time out of the garage with all the body on it. I noticed the trim looks a little weird on the side shot, I dont think I let all the air out of the rear passenger side bag.

This will be the first and last 73 and Up Im going to ever do, I have never worked with thinner metal ever before this. I think Im going to stick to 67 72.

I hope this thing is going to pull my 5th wheel, or I will be some pissed; lots of grief from this one.

DBLSPRT68 · 07-07-2010, 05:15 AM

OARNGESI · 07-07-2010, 05:23 AM

Innovation By Design · 07-07-2010, 07:01 AM

Nice truck. Personally I liked it better before. Also I see alot of negativity in your post at the end.

Thanks for all the comments. Had a tough run on this one, as I think I built a monster.

Good thing this took all of my shop space and I did not have enough room to take a kick at the walls

Looks good man. If it bothers you that much, I'll take it off your hands.

p_rubottom · 07-07-2010, 10:38 AM

More pics man! looks great

. Did the truck come with the trim?

USSkoval · 07-07-2010, 11:17 AM

Thin metal? Work on a newer truck and your opinion will change.

Looks good though! What did it look like before?

**lolife99** · 07-07-2010, 08:05 AM

Looks really nice now.

classicchev · 07-07-2010, 02:32 PM

This was its previous life. Only the cab, box floor, and frame rails and a handfull of other original parts remain,

justpball · 07-07-2010, 02:38 PM

looks killer! love the round lights!

OJOE · 07-07-2010, 08:19 PM

this is nice!

cochino12 · 07-07-2010, 08:26 PM

Looks good Darren, is that as low as it will go? I assume you kept the inner fenders and left the bed floor stock?

Oh and this is what the truck looked like originally

USSkoval · 07-07-2010, 11:29 PM

OK yeah, it looks better than ever. Stance, wheels, color, trim, it all looks great!

Also, is that a fiberglass Harwood? If so, what did you do to let the wipers clear during open/close?

lester622 · 07-07-2010, 11:57 PM

pictures of the escalade interior?

Chevy623 · 07-08-2010, 02:51 PM

Looks awesome! I like the new paint, but i think the brown, paired with the new hood would look even better. just my oppinion though. Still a really great looking truck.

82chevy350 · 07-08-2010, 07:25 PM
