The 15x8 rally wheels I had on the front of my truck were rubbing on the fender openings when I'd hit a dip in the road. Lolife recommended Stockton Wheel to have them reduced to 15x7, so that's what I did. They cut the centers out of a set of 15x8s and welded new USA-made hoops on them. Took them one week. Finally installed them today.

Installed the 99 Tahoe seats after replacing the leather with something in black. Still need to smooth the leather, but love the look.

I was out at the C10 Nats a couple of weeks ago and I was showing people your dummy gas cap neck that I have on my 72 C20 and everyone liked it. Hopefully it will get you some sells on them. Keep up the good work!! |

Started the stake side for the 68 anniversary truck . Some of the slab leftovers I usually cut up for firewood . These are hickory I’m going to just but a slab on each side . Also will have to bow tie some of the end cracks before I finish sand them this week all I did today was send them through the planer.

I've got a few different projects going on with my truck at the moment. Replacing inner/outer rockers is one of them. I noticed the cab wasn't lining up with the bed at all a few days ago. DS was ~1 low, PS was fine. I was worried something moved while I had the cab cut up. A few days later I went out and measured the body mounts on both sides, they were identical (~2" for the rears). As I was scratching my head I walked around the truck and noticed the PS was now ~1" low as well.
New body mounts fixed it right up but I'm still a little puzzled why both of the rear cab mounts collapsed ~1" while sitting in my garage after 54 years of driving around. Seems unlikely, but I looked at some recent photos, and they seem to confirm I'm not losing my mind. It was sitting just fine a few weeks ago. In other news, I finally got catainfab's booster mount and PS frame adapter installed. Both of those items were $ well spent and I'm sure saved me a lot of work & head-scratching. |

Finished installing the body, moldings and inner fenders. She's close to done, but no sign of windows yet.

I'm not really getting off to a fantastic start with my brake lines. I spent about 4hrs making the two short lines that connect the master to the prop valve. And yes, I did forget to put the fitting on once, and then put the wrong size on the next try. Decided it was time to cool off and try again another day.

I fabbed up some 3point seatbelt mounts that just clears the gas tank and tucks the ratchet mechanisms snug in behind the bench seat.

I finally swapped my C20 heavy duty spring to just 1/2 ton coils and replaced the shocks in hope of a little softer ride.

Don't ask me how he did it. But he did. He got in a lot of trouble for that one. And of course we all made fun of him. |
