I could, but I don't want to lose the center seat completely

flamingbig10 · 04-27-2009, 09:21 PM

In a week or so I will be adding a hood liner and a column dress up kit when the ups man delivers it

flamingbig10 · 04-28-2009, 11:40 PM

About got the modifications done to speaker box, now it need to be covered, and wile I was taking the speaker box I scraped the top part of the door panel

warpig98 · 04-29-2009, 05:38 PM

oh yeah i c. just a heads up, i think the top of your bowtie is crookid.

flamingbig10 · 04-29-2009, 07:19 PM

Oh I know It's going to over lay bowtie with trim and plexie glass

warpig98 · 04-30-2009, 03:45 PM

yes, a few parts that I ordered came today flamed air cleaner, hood liner, and column dress up kit and yesterday I got some 6.5 that are going in the kick panels

flamingbig10 · 05-01-2009, 07:58 PM

Installed the hood liner today

flamingbig10 · 05-03-2009, 10:50 PM

I decided I'm going to add a couple of leafs spring back to my truck, to give a little more rake since it seams like around every few months the back of my truck gets lower and lower

flamingbig10 · 05-06-2009, 12:54 AM

well I got the back lifted

JohnC · 05-06-2009, 09:16 AM

Do you have your column dress up kit on yet? Those levers look good.

jchav62 · 05-06-2009, 11:02 AM

Looking good!

flamingbig10 · 05-06-2009, 12:19 PM

thanks, I've installed the tilt lever, and hazards

flamingbig10 · 05-09-2009, 01:02 AM

flamingbig10 · 05-11-2009, 11:46 PM

I finally installed the column dress up kit, and headlight pull knob now I need to do something about the shifter

heavychevy79 · 05-18-2009, 02:51 AM

How much was it lowered or what lowering parts did you have on it at this stage?

flamingbig10 · 05-18-2009, 02:55 AM

that would be 1 coil cut off the factory coils and drop shackles

heavychevy79 · 05-18-2009, 03:15 AM

Looks like a 3 inch drop on the front. Drop shackles don't seem to do very much do they?
I'm guessing those are all 275/60s

It's sitting like my truck is now, it makes me want to lean the seat back.

flamingbig10 · 05-18-2009, 03:31 AM

the coil springs were a little weak so it was about a 3" drop, and yes the tires were 275/60s

flamingbig10 · 05-24-2009, 12:42 AM

few updates
I removed the braided hose covers and added a air dam

warpig98 · 05-26-2009, 04:41 PM

hey question for you. why is it that your speedo is at 30mph and you tach at 1, when your not driving it. i have those same gauges the i'm putting in mine, and i hope that there not bad gauges.

flamingbig10 · 05-26-2009, 07:32 PM

the spedo's broke I was fixing the light on the back and dropped it on the ground and the tach sets at 1 grand with out power and when it has power it sets to 0, the gauges are good for the price just be careful with them they break easy

tvblazer78 · 05-26-2009, 08:03 PM

Air dam looks good man...

flamingbig10 · 05-26-2009, 10:43 PM

thanks Travis

GMC Guy · 05-28-2009, 05:20 PM

i really love what you've done with your truck. i'm 17 and i've my 79 gmc for about a year and it's amazing how much i've learned from working on my truck. anyway, i noticed you decided to go with a summit heater and removed all the stock a/c crap. i did the exactly same thing a long time ago, and i love the clean look under the hood. but i haven't gotten around to installing the new heater yet, mostly because i'm having a hard time figuring out a good mounting position, and because i really just don't need right now...so i was curious of how you mounted and plumbed it, or if you are just putting it off like me

thanks, and the truck is really looking great
