Got the 3rd billet knob in the mail today.. May sound cheesy but I had my 3 kids names put on them so they know they are also apart of the truck

Ned, Nice look, I did the same thing after trying to polish the original emblems just don't look good with fresh paint. I did the same with the hood emblems after spending many hours trying to polish the originals, I guess the 49 years of exposure to the elements did a number on them.

From classic industries, lays down perfect and has the correct holes and ridges.

Here's a shot of the engine bay right before I replaced the flex rad hose with a gm peice(almost forgot to do that).

Agree w/doo142. As sad as this may sound to some, many of the most peaceful moments in my life are when I sit w/a cold beer and a good cigar and look at my "toys".

I got something done for a change and even better, it didn't involve crashing into a bear.

I taped off around my outer grill's headlights, hit it with a scrotchbrite pad, and put on 3 coats of primer.

I also drilled holes in my male piece for the "D ring" tow hitch.

Scored on a junk yard find, a Offenhouser intake and a rebuildable 2g core for 100$ and dropped the carb off with a great carb man for a rebuild.

Finally got this exhaust wrapped up. I needed to mount some hangers and I cut and polished the ss tips. Then welded everything up.
After that was done I relocated my ece relocators outwards and remounted my shocks.
Glad that is done it's getting too cold too lay on concrete.

But we did have a nice day today.
