holly crap, my truck is home.... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

vegas80step · 02-01-2012, 09:27 PM

Just a few quick pictures of the truck...
Finally home from paint...

I've started the interior and a few things here and there...

this one the truck was running, and the camera was trying to focus and it couldn't with the shaking of the truck...

check out the dust... it was only sitting for 15 minutes.....

better pictures to come...

Looks great!!

FYI, Those tail lights are originaly made for big trucks and you can get a hard plastic or stainless mount for them in black or chrome if you want something better than rubber grommet.

Thanks, this came with a similar style chrome trim but it had a little visor on top. these are angled down slightly due to the roll pan and those made it too hard to see them. I wanted to look for the ones you posted... now I don't have to, thanks!

thanks, I've been working on it no stop since it got home. Your right, I cant wait to get it all put back together... the speakers frames were there when I bought the truck. there wood, I sound threw some sound mat over them.. then I went to put my speakers in them and they don't fit........

so I'm ripping them out tomorrow. (if not later tonight)

That's a nice paint job. Really slick.

Mine are LIGHTLY scuffed, then painted. They are the clear set from LMC, then they Sprayed with black. Same with my tail lights. They are red LED's and they were clear lenses. They painted those about half as dark as the sides.

both sets are still plenty bright...

Some people tint them, but then you cant get the chrome trim and they always have little bubble or the corners peal a little.

Eagle Custom · 02-04-2012, 03:21 PM

That is one sick truck. Hats off to your body man the truck looks great

68Timber · 02-04-2012, 10:54 PM

Very nice, looks wet. The pic next to the Volvo shows how well it was blocked, that's a lot of sanding to get a square that straight.

7.62 · 02-05-2012, 05:11 AM

Yeah man, that is one good looking stepside !
