Pictures (from hot trux),.... - Page 4 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

UPDATE:

I made it up to member "hot trux" place today to check out his progress.
All the wiring is just about complete. Jeff just installed the rest of the front clip,... which includes, color matched inner fenders, all new GM grille, headlight doors, lenses.
The front bumper is a super nice show quality piece from a chrome plater in CA that won't be mentioned.
(Long story,... but no vendor plugs for the bumper supplier)

The fenders have been filled on the inside for a super smooth look.
Jeff also made a sweet filler panel to go on the "engine side" of the radiator core support to match the smooth look of the backside of the fenders.
This piece hides all the excess wiring for the headlights, turn signals, cooling fans, battery, etc.

Anyway,...here's a few pics.

sweet

**lolife99** · 08-23-2009, 08:53 PM

The Optima battery will stay under the hood in the stock location. Check out the "routing" of the wires for a clean look. The positive cable connect to a disconnect switch mounted on the drilled front bumper bracket.
(So much for keeping that location a secret. Ha)

Since the majority of the firewall holes were filled, Jeff wanted the ugly hood latch cable hidden from view, since the inside of the fenders are so clean/filled now. The answer was to use a Lokar hood/truck cable mounted in a cool spot. The bottom,.. backside, of the left inner fender. (another secret revealed)

**lolife99** · 08-23-2009, 09:09 PM

Oops,... here's the hood latch "hidden handle". Most all of the bolting is chrome plated,... even the fender bolt you don't normally see.

cobb · 08-23-2009, 09:20 PM

Thats sweet!

**lolife99** · 08-23-2009, 09:23 PM

Next,... is the Sir Michaels steel roll pan waiting to be installed.
Tail lights will be Lokars new LED billet tail lights.

And last for this update,... is the bed wood installed.
Jeff chose Hickory wood, with Ebony colored stain. The clear is a multiple layers Nason automotive clear.
