Thanks, The wheelwells are made from 16gu. polished stainless, and it was a real PITA to make the bed strait and get the wheelwells to look right. I really appreciate the comments about the truck, it makes me feel I have done something right! I will be at Sunshine Dragstrip the last Wed of this month, if anyone can stop by!

I am in for sure just let me know.....

68Stepbed · 04-07-2010, 08:07 AM

Very Nice!

I agree the back end needs to come down about another inch though.

A job well done. The truck is beautiful. It's nice to sit back a enjoy it now isn't it?

I built the fiberglass shell under the headliner, and a friend of mine who does high-end leather furniture did the insert and surround.We both installed and finished it. I have another cab that I hung upside down to use as a mold.Thanks to all, Greg

**D.PASSMORE** · 04-07-2010, 12:14 PM

Dang Greg, thats is quality work! That is one of the best builds that I've seen in a long time. It looks like it will keep taking the trophies home for quite a while. Hey, nice buddy buckets!

I'm sure I'll see it up close in the future.

Congrads!

**67cheby** · 04-07-2010, 12:23 PM

**bigsnookmaster** · 04-07-2010, 12:24 PM

Thanks Dave, Yeah, the seats look a little different. Hope to see you soon,Greg

It's called Lacewood. It's a Brazillian hardwood that I bought rough cut and machined and finished to what it is now.

The only thing bad about that is that each cab is a little different, I had to modify the fiberglass to fit my cab, and you kinda have to fit it with foam on it before you cover it. Greg

djmachinist · 04-07-2010, 06:28 PM

Wow! Very nice truck, love the color!!

Dale

AirSpeed · 04-07-2010, 10:11 PM

That is beautiful! I love the color. I am getting ready to paint my 72 GMC and cant decide on a color (I am buying the paint tomorrow) What color is that? It almost looks like the stock color of my 69 before I painted it.
Does anyone know the name of the color or the color code? Thanks!
Again, that is a beautiful truck!

jojo · 04-07-2010, 10:19 PM

Thats beautiful.

I loves me a good stepper!

I might be interested in that too, let me know the date and route, and we might be able to follow one another.

We all need to figure out the exact date and go from there. I would really like to do this. I know I could be up in your area in about four hours give or take then meet up with you and continue north towards Rob's. I am guessing that we can already drive the trucks from Rob's area.

djmachinist · 04-12-2010, 10:37 PM

May I ask you where you got your radiator set-up and fans?

Thanks,
Dale
