I agree, very nice work! Great looking truck!

68w/sbc406 · 10-10-2004, 02:10 AM

thanks guys. the rims are nothing to show off. they are aluminum 15x10 wheels wraped with 275/60/15 toyo proxes. they are a 16 hole design with rivits. the only good thing about them was the price, 75 bucks with some goodyear wangler rt/s 31s that i burnt up. the headers i bought at a swap meet for 20 bucks and have no name badges on them. when i bought them it had written on them 67-72 chev and they had a big dent in one of the tubes, one of my friends that works at a body shop pulled most of it out. the valve covers i bought from a local auto parts store (baxters) the brand is GM performance parts, they come in black and orange and polished and orange.

silvertonguedevil · 10-10-2004, 11:24 AM

Is there any rust in that old girl? She looks awfully solid.

68w/sbc406 · 10-10-2004, 05:59 PM

not much but a little. the battery tray and inner fender were toast so i go new ones, and put a homemade patch panel in the core support, front fenders are rusted through in the front inside. bottom for the doors rusted throughin the front corner, but not a big area. some with the floor boards in the same area. no idea about the cab corners but from the out side they look fine and the inside doesnt feel bad at all. the PO did some shoty bodywork on the bed so i need to strip all of it and re do it, didnt seal the skim coat of bondo that he put on so there is surface rust under it all. i was told that from the body shop that fixed this (see pic). but they said that is very saveable. need a new bed floor from rust, i want to go wood anyway.
