Just my opinion, but I think that the glovebox needs a black accent to mimmic your gage cluster...Nice lookin BTW!

Thanks and sorry for the delayed response guys. Been in SC the last 3 days on a hunting trip
.....black seems to be the best option too.....but we'll get the rest installed 1st then deal with it.

I know you must be missing and can't wait for the new and improved ride. I was thinking you could cut a white or black glove box cardboard template to see how it would look once the interior is all straight. Really like what I'm seeing nice job,,,

Thanks for the kind words. I think a black and a white template would be a good idea. I could tape them and see what looks best.

And yes......I'm past due for a drive in my truck.

Nice score on the clock....and yeah...I'll take the templates if you don't want them. Just regular mail is ok though.....don't have to send priority. I have the factory accessory book, but it doesn't have all the templates. And I'll check on the AC template tonight for you. Been in SC hunting since Friday.

Late off work and other house projects to do, but enough time to install the glovebox assembly. Really considering a white insert on the glovebox door and door panels to break up the color some.

wow..that dash looks great

Sorry about the absence guys. Have been up to my neck with multiple jobs, getting married and then a great honeymoon in Puerto Rico, hunting season and a bunch of family business. Hope to get back on the stepper here after Thanksgiving with some new updates and progress.

Hope all is well with everyone else!!!

it always flips me out when i see pics of the guys in my favorite threads. and they're really young, when all along i thought they were much older. you and bluebomber look like puppies, no disrespect, just flips me out. maybe it's a compliment to appear older and wiser.

congrats on gettin' hitched. been married 4 times myself and didn't start till i was forty. when the fourth came along i started thinking, "maybe its not them":lol:

Re: 1963 C-10 in NC
 
Thanks guys. No shop has been on hold also. I have started to mill the main beams. All the rafters are milled, so just need to start swinging a hammer once the main beams are done. I have a nice 18" yellow pine log that's been waiting to mill....so hopefully if this weekend has decent weather I can get it done.

Yeah me too. Milling it myself, so its time consuming. But nice to know the quality of the milling is in my hands and sure saves cost on purchasing it. I'll get some pics this weekend.

Sounds good. Welcome to come over any time. Been busy on the barn build the last couple weeks.....but I've set a date 2 weeks out to get back on the stepside and finish it. Will get some pics up shortly.......

Couple pics of whats been keeping me busy....

One stall left to frame in. Couple of wall footers and walls to build, but its getting there. Just 1-2 guys and no large equipment for all work so far.

Got the fleetside pulled out and up and under the new roof. And the bike too. That's Austins 63 that will keep my fleetside company for a few months while I finish the stepside.

Re: 1963 C-10 in NC
 
No, no new vehicles. Have two acres here...so enough room for the 1800sq ft barn. Will be nice to get it completed and have a warm dry place to work as we got snow a few times this year and it really stalled my projects.
