Put the finished dash in the truck today, installed the inside rear view mirror, installed the kick panel vents, got the bed, inner fenders, front fenders, grill, headlight surrounds, final prepped, primered and sanded. We paint tomorrow early to beat the heat.......:uhmk:

Pictures early next week....

Did you buy aftermarket fans, or something from a wrecking yard? And how well did they fit and mount?

I took off the headers I bought from summit, I was sick of the tic tic tic besides the fact they hang down so far you couldn't lower the truck with out dragging them. The new one's are cast iron that I got from Tom Langdon's site they will solve all the problem's that the others caused.:sumo:

I really like the looks of the new ones.

Cast exhaust headers look great on a six. Tube headers just seem to ad confusion to anotherwise clean engine design. I saw numerous cars last week at a show that were running Fenton's. Combined with an aftermarket cast intake everything just looks "right".

Cleaned entire truck in and out top to bottom and tucked it in the garage, we have bad storms coming.

nice stance, and I love the knockoff 'vette rallys - I had those on my Elco and would have them on the truck, but found a cheap set of Cragars I couldn't resist

Rebuilt the Rochester 2bbl, replaced manifold gaskets. Had to drill out two carb studs. Results? Runs good.

Thanks steverino66 It's hard to go wrong with vette rallys! I've had them on almost all my classic chevy's. I have 4 different center combo's, so if I get tired of the spinners I can change the whole look with different center caps.

I decided to eliminate most of the inner fenders instead. It provides open access to everything and makes working on the truck dirt simple. I’m in the process of detailing what’s left now.

Hey markeb01, What if you get caught in the rain? There goes your detail job.

I finally got the bed back where it belongs, not all the strips are bolted down yet - I decided to hide the main cross sill bolts to frame because I couldn't bear to cut holes in the wood I spent so much time finishing…
this makes the entire back half of the truck done except for little details, the cab is next!

Well the detail job I’m working on now consists of getting rid of the yellow paint, errant holes, and scratched or missing paint. I’ll never win an award for keeping things spotless, it’s more work than my ambitions.

Surprisingly driving it in the rain or snow doesn’t really make all that big a mess. It just splatters the firewall in alignment with the tires and the rest hits what’s left of the inner fender above the tire. A trip to the coin-op car wash cleans it right up. Besides the truck and I are both retired now so it’s primarily used just for fun.

That woodwork is beautiful.

Went with Old Air Products for the AC, really like the electric switch, will fit nice in the dash, also no cables just plug and play, I need to make a decision on the paint, time to mount the cab
