Very nice work on the truck and it looks like it will be a sweet ride. By the way really nice Riviera.

Re: Locomotive Lugnut
 

Sweet project, looking forward to seeing the PB install!!!!

Re: Locomotive Lugnut
 

I got the majority of the front setup installed this weekend, it was easier than I thought it would be. I'll try to have some pics up in the next few days.

Re: Locomotive Lugnut
 

Got the front PB setup as far as I could ,I'm still waiting on some other parts to come in to be able to completely finish it. While I was trying to make some things look nice I had the 4-link bars, panhard bar and sway bar chromed. Here's some pics.

Looks real nice. Makes me want to get in the garage and finish getting my frame cleaned and painted.

Re: Locomotive Lugnut
 

Since I'm still waiting on some parts to show up to finish the front susp. I figured I'd do something else this weekend. The seat that was in this truck when I purchased it was way too tall and bulky for the look and style I wanted so I found another use for it elsewhere. So I picked up a clean 89 Chevy bench seat off the local CL and got it installed. It was to tall as well so I sectioned the brackets to suit my needs. I wanted the top of the seat back to be flush with the bottom of the back glass , hince the sectioning of the brackets. Next I'm going to start on the rear suspension. Here's some pics.


...and "NO", it's not staying red and it's not staying cloth.

Re: Locomotive Lugnut
 

That gets the seat to fit in there nicely.

sweet

Re: Locomotive Lugnut
 

That's a fair amount of material removed from the riser.... How's the driver seating position now? Feel 'right' or ??

Re: Locomotive Lugnut
 

It's perfect, and extremely comfortable. The truck had some angled brackets that the previous seat mounted to that raised the back of the seat up a couple of inches. So I turned those brackets around the opposite way so it would raise the front of the seat up a couple of inches hince , leaning the seat back and providing me with a reclined , perfect height seating configuration.

Finally got the front susp. completely finished, got most of the rear susp. completed, painted the rear axle, and picked up a complete 6.0 Liter w/4l60e trans. Here's some pics.

Re: Locomotive Lugnut
 

So nice,... like always!

Love the 6.0.

Re: Locomotive Lugnut
 

Looking good.

Re: Locomotive Lugnut
 

Your truck is lookin' real good. It appears that it will sit very low to the ground and the seat too. May I suggest a skid plate between the floor and the seat.:lol: I like what you're doing.

Re: Locomotive Lugnut
 

Nice progress, keep it up!
