It's official. The truck has a heart beat, I cranked it today. I'm trying to figure how to post the video.

Re: Finally seeing some progress...

Re: Finally seeing some progress...

Re: Finally seeing some progress...
 

Ummmm...wow....very nice bro!

Re: Finally seeing some progress...
 

Your truck is way too clean--I think it is time for an extended beer run.
Who needs glass!

Coming along nice.....still can't get over how quick you've done this one.

Re: Finally seeing some progress...
 

Haha, thanks John... makes me wonder... if I didn't work 72-88 hours a week or have to delay some of it due to the wedding last April... How would it look?

Re: Finally seeing some progress...
 

You probably would have put a dent in it by now!

Where did you get the plug wire holders?

Oh yea, I ordered a bunch of parts from your friend Mike today. I'm finally going to attempt some rocker, cab corner, and floor replacement. Fortunatly I've got some bodyshop buddies ( 200 miles away ) to get pointers from. Should be fun.

Re: Finally seeing some progress...

Re: Finally seeing some progress...

Re: Finally seeing some progress...

Re: Finally seeing some progress...

Re: Finally seeing some progress...

Re: Finally seeing some progress...
 

I also installed the auto tilt column and steering wheel.

Hey, you have the same radiator as me. Did you have any issues with the lower hose kinking? Between this radiator and the different water pump on my truck, the stock hose was useless and the universal one kinks too.

Re: Finally seeing some progress...
 

Nope, no problem with the hoses. I'm running a 94 serp set up but I bought the hoses for a 67. I took about an inch off the top hose today. Fits really well, if you need close up pictures let me know. Or feel free to come look at it, you're not too far... only 45 mins to a hour, haha.

Re: Finally seeing some progress...
 

Haha, the truck is up in the 1960 area, and so am I for now (Finishing it over the xmas break). Pics would be great. My engine is out of a mid 70s C10, so it's got the long water pump if I remember right.

The lower hole on the radiator, yours had that 45* bend up too right?

Re: Finally seeing some progress...
 

Looks great! Love the blue...my 70 will be blue...some day :chevy:

Re: Finally seeing some progress...
 

Hey, i have your problem. I have a 454 in my 71 and the bottom hose kinks also.. As long as its not cutting off more then 50% of the water your fine... Mines not kinked to bad, but just annoying.

Re: Finally seeing some progress...
 

Lookin good

Re: Finally seeing some progress...

Dont let up, I wanna see the finished product.

Re: Finally seeing some progress...
 

Haha, thanks jack...it's been really hard getting to work on it. I've been working like crazy lately. I should be posting more pictures soon.

Re: Finally seeing some progress...
 

Cellphone picture, sorry for poor quality. My truck sitting outside body shop waiting to get wetsanded and buffed.

Re: Finally seeing some progress...
 

Tonight after work I primed the tank... I'll be painting it tomorrow morning.

Re: Finally seeing some progress...

This what he's come up with thus far... not a completed product, will post pictures once completed and installed.

NWD02,

Please, please could we see some good pics of that blue in the daylight?

Thank you for your trouble,
Charles

Re: Finally seeing some progress...
 

I will as soon as it's back from the body shop. I haven't forgotten about you. The body shop isn't close either or I'd go take some.
