Nice, nice, nice,great work luv the pics!

Re: intro + 66 black bagged long fleet
 

Looks good bro. Must be nice to get it out of the garage

Re: intro + 66 black bagged long fleet
 

Great truck, great pics. I think you started a new trend with the dash skirting. It looks like GM intended it to be there, especially with the sail panels and pleated seats. Nice work.

Re: intro + 66 black bagged long fleet
 

That is looking so amazing, thanks for sharing the new pictures. I think you dash is looking great too. Keep up the awesome job that you are doing and keep sending us the latest as you continue working on your truck. We'll be seeing it in a magazine I bet.

Re: intro + 66 black bagged long fleet

Re: intro + 66 black bagged long fleet
 

That extension looks so cool.....

Re: intro + 66 black bagged long fleet
 

That extension is Clean!!!:uhmk:

Chopped Seat Brackets...:metal:

Re: intro + 66 black bagged long fleet
 

beautiful extension... and the both videos are cool.

Re: intro + 66 black bagged long fleet
 

Dude, you are going to love that bracket mod! Those seats are so comfortable. but they sit up too high in our trucks. Just a couple of inches makes a huge difference because your legs stretch out a little more and your shoulders are right at the window edge, just where they should be. Why have a slammed suspension and a stock height seat? Gotta have 'em both slammed!

Re: intro + 66 black bagged long fleet
 

Killer job on the newest dash extension!

Re: intro + 66 black bagged long fleet
 

Loving the dash extension! Ready to see how the seats turn out to

Re: intro + 66 black bagged long fleet
 

nice! how much are you taking out of the seat bracket?

Re: intro + 66 black bagged long fleet
 

thanx for all the comments guys

ya ive got them in the truck now.. they are awesome. makes it alot easier to get in and out too. i will get a pic of the cover i made tomorrow. and yes i agree about the slammed seat. feels cool sitting low

however wide my masking tape was.. hahahaha :lol::lol::lol: i think it was 2 inches

Re: intro + 66 black bagged long fleet
 

here are some pics. i made some covers out of metal and wrapped it with some pleated vinyl i had left over from the door panels.

Re: intro + 66 black bagged long fleet
 

btw ive got 2 weeks off coming up so im really thinking about tearing it down to pancake the crossmember, hide my radiator up inside the core support, lower my bumper 3/4 inch
and possibly freshin up the tranny while ive got it out..

Re: intro + 66 black bagged long fleet
 

Cool shop dog. The covers fit right in like they were always meant to be there.
I've got two weeks off for Christmas shut down coming too.
I see you have a pretty good list of things to do on your time off. Hope I don't squander my time. Focus,,,,,video,,,,remove frame table,,,,,,,install rear bags...

Looking good
Enjoy the time off.

Re: intro + 66 black bagged long fleet
 

I can't believe I just found this thread.great build, solid fab, you killed it man.nice job.-Jimmy-

Re: intro + 66 black bagged long fleet
 

Love how the covers really tie in the seats to everything. It just make sense.

Re: intro + 66 black bagged long fleet
 

thanx man :metal::metal: hope you are getting some work done. looking forward to more updates
