I like the vid.

When was the last time you drove it? (or have you lately)?

After welding in all my patch panels, I drive mine all the time. I can't get enough.

Well guys today I worked on my glovebox, I didnt want to replace it with another cardboard one, so I made my own. I used aluminum to make it, I just pulled all of the staples out of my old cardboard one and used it for a template. It's held together by rivets. I test fitted it and it fit perfectly. Tell me what you guys think about it.

In Primer.. . .

looks good. have you test fit it? I know the cardboard ones are hard to get in/out....

Re: 1970 GMC Stepside Redbuild
 

That is a great idea!:metal: I always hated my sagging cardboard box

Re: 1970 GMC Stepside Redbuild
 

good Idea on the glove box!

Re: 1970 GMC Stepside Redbuild
 

Yeah guys the glovebox fit great and its really sturdy. It was also flexible enough to get it to go in easy. I also made a gauge cluster by combining a 67 cluster and a 70. I just got rid of the center of the 67, because all I really needed was a speedometer and a fuel gauge since I have a 3 gauge pod on the bottom of the dash. I also fixed my radio delete cover, I lost the clips so i just cut a piece of metal and put it on the backside of the dash and just clamped them together with bolts with wing nuts. Heres some pictures of everything.

The new glovebox. . . .

Re: 1970 GMC Stepside Redbuild
 

Looking good. Have you set a paint date? Or are you going to just primer that fender the same as the rest until the final paint?

Re: 1970 GMC Stepside Redbuild
 

It should get painted soon, i have everything to do it primer, and paint and such, so that fender will probably be like that until its painted. I just need to go and talk to the guy who's going to paint it and see when he'll be able to take it. :gmc2::metal::gmc2:
