Nice detail work. The white cluster with all the chrome really pops. I really like the seat as well.

Thanks! I recovered the seat myself. It really wasn't that hard and turned out great! Here is a pic of the whole seat.

Man is that ever nice and the Chevrolet wood grain piece across the lower glove box really looks good too.

I had it custom made by Ricks Upholstery in Tennessee (They are absolutely amazing to deal with) awesome price and made it just the way I wanted it!

Thanks! The Chevrolet piece is actually all chrome. The photos are not that great because I took them with my phone.

I really applaud the design and installation. The sharp contrast grabs attention, the pleated portion makes it look old school, while the upper panels and color separation around the sides make it look vintage. Just an excellent execution all around. I think that might be the most attractive bench seat/upholstery I've ever seen in one of these trucks.

Knocked about a 1/2" long dent out of my right parking light bezel. Aluminum is sure a lot easier to repair than stainless steel.

Mike Bradbury · 05-10-2012, 02:22 AM

Installed my long awaited rear sport bumper.

losthope · 05-10-2012, 02:38 AM

Disconnected the fuel line from the carb and stuck it in a bottle and cranked the engine over a couple times to fill the bottle up , so i could pour the fuel in the lawnmower to mow the lawn....

I had to totally remove my "custom" gas tank for the same reason!

Haha I like your wheel chalk also......

**chevy_man5** · 05-10-2012, 11:38 AM

Hey, it works!

I had one behind the opposite front tire also. I didn't want to trust it to stay in place solely by the fact that it was in gear. The e-brake is not hooked up, and with a PO swapping the axle, I am not sure how to hook one up yet. Oh well, other things to deal with first!

Got my new A/E rad today, and picked up some J-Nuts to mount my new speakers. Sucks that the rad comes from China. I did place an order with one of those classic truck parts co's, and almost all of it was made in the US, so that made me feel better.

Are those connected, and if they are how do they sound? And where did you find them? I haven't seen any like that for a long time.

markeb01 · 05-10-2012, 08:40 PM

Painted my rear springs today. I was thankful it was warm enough to spend time in the garage.

They are connected and sound good. No drone while i was on the freeway. Sounds good at idle. At a constant speed the sound dies off and becomes just a low hum. got them from summit racing
