Drove it Christmas Day! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Well, should say drove part of it. Got the body mounts in, most of the frount clip painted but not installed.

It's got dexion for fenders and angle iron for doors. Zip ties are holding the electrics together but I drove it for the first time in a long time and it felt real good.

Hope all of you had a great Holiday.

Woo hoo!! It's alive!! Must be a great feeling. It must have been quite a sight.

Looks real good. Keep up with the progress pictures, they are great.

Low Burb, it was a very great feeling indeed. If you only knew what I've been though on this project.

71swb4x4 I did add a few to my yahoo page. Mostly paint.

Thanks for the support.

wow you get alot done

Had to put the top back on for the move.

Somebody ask for 'how to' pics the other day (sorry can't remember who it was) so I posted a few here and put more on my yahoo page. Basicly, I use (4) 2x4's, (2) chain hoists, (5) cargo straps (not counting the ones tied to the rafters) and (4) 3" c clamps. Just follow the pictures and I'm sure you'll figure it out.

The extra fender and valance inside the topper were just hanging out when I did this. They aren't required for the topper installation. I just plan forgot they were in there until it was up in the air.
