Sweeeeeeeeeeet!!!!!!!!!!!!!

**lolife99** · 06-29-2008, 11:41 PM

Here's a few updated pics. Front fenders are painted and engine/core support wiring and associated parts are going together. Stepside bed work has begun also.

**lolife99** · 06-29-2008, 11:51 PM

And the bed work begins,...

68GMC454 · 06-30-2008, 02:48 AM

really good job.. cant wait to see it finished

**lolife99** · 08-11-2008, 11:04 PM

Ok,... I got a couple pics from Hot Trux tonight so I thought I would share. The idea of making his truck a stepside has been an expensive one. So far,... Jeff purchased two complete beds, one NOS fender (for almost $400), two 1979(?) take off fenders and steps (the red ones, removed in 1979 and stored), one new GM tailgate,... and a couple extra steps found at a local swap meet,... and the bed is finally coming together as "one unit" for mock up prior to paint. . Also purchased was new bed strips and roll pan from Bruce Horkey Wood Products. Original bedsides will be reworked as will the front bed panel from the second bed. Here's a couple of pics. I'll post the bed in paint when it's done.

One of the vertical lines looks to be off by 1/64 of an inch. Get that fixed and it will be perfect.

LOL

Looks awesome! I like the design and color.

72BlckButy · 09-02-2008, 02:06 PM

Wow... tell Jeff he spent his money right when he hired that upholster.

Lookin' good! I can't wait to see it on the street now...

**lolife99** · 09-02-2008, 08:44 PM

Nate,... it probably won't be on the street for a while. Jeff has been hitting it pretty hard,... but still alot to do. The upholstery should be killer.

72BlckButy · 09-02-2008, 08:54 PM

I mean that seat is flawless.... it was definitely worth the money. And the color is perfect!

Might have to stop by and take another look.

Rollinsqrbdy · 09-02-2008, 10:13 PM

killer truck. JUst read the tread. What wheels and size of tires does he have?

**lolife99** · 09-02-2008, 10:21 PM

Billet Specialties Vintecs. 20x8 (5.25" b.s.) and 20x9.5 (5" b.s.) with 245/40-20 and 295/40-20 BFG KDW's.

72BlckButy · 09-02-2008, 10:28 PM

That's odd... someone else is going to run Vintec's on their '77...

**lolife99** · 01-24-2009, 04:15 PM

Got a couple pics today from Jeff. (hot trux)
He has blown the front suspension back apart to install his new Thorbecke Bros. tubular a-arms. Thanks go to Jason at www.***************** for a great product and quick service.

crawdadfox · 01-24-2009, 04:47 PM

Truck is looking Awesome!! Super detailed, it tops the Blazer and thats hard to do!

72BlckButy · 01-26-2009, 08:50 AM

That arms turned out real nice. Did Theorbrecke Bros PC them red? Or did Jeff paint them after they arrived?

**lolife99** · 01-26-2009, 08:56 AM

They are painted. Jeff got them in bare steel.

cochino12 · 01-26-2009, 10:22 AM

Wow, how did I miss this thread? That truck looks amazing so far!

flamingbig10 · 01-26-2009, 11:28 AM

very nice

Malo83 · 01-26-2009, 12:32 PM

She's a Beauty, those tubular Aarms really cleaned up that front end

silvereagle07 · 01-26-2009, 01:04 PM

That's a sweet ride.

**lolife99** · 03-01-2009, 07:38 PM

A few more pics from my buddy Hot Trux.
Doors are hung with new hardware, gaskets, and outside handles. Front Thorbecke Bros. tubular a-arms are installed. There's just a little more wiring to do before that is finished.
Right now, Jeff is fitting the front inner fenders and modifying them for a custom look. Fenders are painted and Jeff just polished the radiator, so it can be installed.
I forgot to get a picture of all the bolting. It's all chrome plated. (even the door hinge bolts,... and many bolts you won't see.) Most are chrome button head allen bolts.
The detail is incredible.

72BlckButy · 03-01-2009, 08:19 PM

OMG... that thing is coming right along. Jeff, nice work!

Is there a target date for completion?

sswitzke · 03-02-2009, 02:24 AM

Truck is looking great.

JohnC · 03-02-2009, 12:32 PM

That is an AWESOME job. Truck is looking amazing. Can't wait to see updates
