79 1 Ton Restomod

[Fixwhataintbroke]

Well I decided maybe it's time a started my build thread. Truck is a Red '79 Chevy C30 camper special, with a 454, roller cam, headers, Edelbrock Carburetor and Intake Manifold, Corporate 14 bolt, 4.10 gears.

Plans:
Engine dress up: Flat black aluminum valve covers w/ Chevrolet in red. K&N Air filter w/ a black retainer and exposed filter on the sides and top. Spark plug wires cleanly routed along with a Corrected GM Hei distributor cap. Blackend engine compartment.

Interior: Black with silver trim, nothing special, swap the bench with buckets from a Suburban. Install sound deadener everywhere i can stick it, install one piece windows, take out the sliding rear window and replace with a standard non sliding. Install electric locks and windows, fully restore the A/c system, I don't like the looks of the vintage air set-ups, I like to keep things like that factory when i can.

Exterior: Two toned paint with Dark Carmine Red and Silver. Trim fully restored, 80s style mirrors, Hubcaps re-chromed and painted, rims re-painted factory white. Install h4 headlights with relay mod (considered HID but to me the effort/cost doesn't outweigh the benefits of an h4 by very much if at all, and by effort/cost I'm talking about retrofitting TRUE projectors).

There's A LOT more that I'm forgetting to list but as I remember I'll type them up when I get on.

What are your plans for this beast ?

Put in a black dash cap from LMC, and installed an R&M Specialties Billet Wire Loom (1102K). Also had a rough falling out w/ my girlfriend (good riddance!). I couldn't use the the furthest back holder/separator due to firewall clearance issues so i did my best at using other separators to keep a clean look, the zip ties are there merely to act as more separation as i ran out of separators. That fuel filter is driving me INSANE! Im paranoid of it being so close to the headers and just dangling. Definitely going to hardline from pump to carburetor with a screw in filter, and follow the factory pathway.

You can also see the interior gutted and some primer sprayed down to prevent more rust build up. Majority of the work on this is low buck stuff so bear with me lol.

Woops not gutted, i meant the carpet yanked out.

Only updates so far would be, greased the suspension and started to replace some bushings as i can. Sway bar here, i'd say its a VERY good thing i'm replacing them.



And i decided to give her a wash



and apparently the pictures just don't want to rotate the right way :/

This is a terrible build thread.

What I meant, is that one of my best friends, Cole, needs to update this thread with all you've done, and what has happened.

I'll update this soon but the truck is on the way to be sold so...
