I know that feeling all too well. Best of luck with the resurrection.

New shocks. KYB-344055.

Finished installing the drivers door glass and new seals. Also installed new cab mounts. I didn’t realize they had gotten this bad. The cab sits up so much better the body lines up with the bed much better.

New front tires yesterday. Belts shifted on the really old ones. The blue will get cleaned off this morning.

Thanks for the comments. I may have went too far on the wood. Probably should have just painted it but I can always do that at some point.

I'll holler at you sometime to see if you got time for lunch or something.

Sure. I've got lots of time.

Fix the radio cut out in the dash today, so now I can install the original radio I got from one of the board members.

It's just not a step. I guess we could call him Palf70Fleet. Nice truck Bill . Welcome back Boog.

zellway · 10-16-2021, 10:26 PM

Not much to report. Loads on minor jobs knocked out. Drove it into town just to give it’s a shakedown. Overall a happy guy with the new cab mounts. Next adventure is getting the bed work done so I can install the side trim.

**Jiggers72-GMC** · 10-17-2021, 07:18 AM

Thanks. I’m trying to keep it clean. I installed the condenser kit from vintage air and was thinking about installing a under dash kit I have from my suburban but I ordered the vintage air kit. Who knows when I will get it 😄 I already installed the dash vents for it. It’s funny to think I was only setting out to make my work truck a bit nicer and now it’s looking a bit flashy.

Blazer690 · 10-17-2021, 07:22 PM

Nice steering wheel, witch one is it? Did the horn button just fit?

Mine is a 67 chevelle wheel and I popped the truck horn button on it. I have done this on a few of my trucks. Works perfectly.

1968 K20 · 10-18-2021, 09:25 AM

Got the tailgate painted over the weekend.

67C10Step · 10-18-2021, 11:50 AM

Man that color combination is fantastic.

**the67Beast** · 10-18-2021, 09:52 PM

Coming along slowly, but I am making progress. Got front disc brake conversion almost completed and fitting rear wheels. Still a long way to go before I drive down the road!

Started assembling the short fleet bed kit. Fit together really good. Had to oblong a few holes. Will get to the tailgate in a few days. One picture of the truck with the stepside bed.

**Jiggers72-GMC** · 10-21-2021, 07:20 AM
