Interior looks good man. You have a nice looking truck. So you think it is a Sport Coupe? I would look into that. That would be a cool little tidbit of info to have.

54Caddy 01-25-2010 08:42 PM

Re: 1979 Chevy build
 
yea im almost posative it is, i have the original emblem off the hood and so far the paint scheme is matching up as one, it has to be the truck is a gmc sierra grande which the sport coupe was also, the two colors in my interior are the right colors, original colors on cab hood and fenders are, it has to be just which there was a way to know for sure.. and thanks man the carpet is new my parents bought it for me from truck and car shop, i put it in and all the stereo stuff i installed my self.

I picked up some new rims. They are the same as the ones on right now but they are 10 inch wide. I got the whole set for 50 bucks. I just polished the one in the picture. I will be putting them on in a few weeks. I will change the tires from the ones on the truck to these i might run all of them or just the 10 inch ones in the rear. What you guys think of them

Re: 1979 Chevy build
 
thanks man. been doing little stuff to the truck lately. Went yesterday and got a new header pipe welded on the y pipe and that fixed the leak at the donut gasket, then i needed to change out 2 of the exhaust manifold ones so i did that also. Just did an oil change and tightened up the steering box. Need to wash it bad damn trees get it all dirty. damn checked my miles on it i have put on 9,640 miles on it since i rebuilt everything. Not bad for doing it my self. Most of the miles are all highway miles going back home from sacramento. almost done with school 8 more weeks then i move back home and start working on my dads 68, and get a job wrenching.

Re: 1979 Chevy build
 
Well ive been promising some pictures of what i have done to the truck. So i washed her up and took her for a spin out to the country side. I took a few pictures if you notice i have put on the fender well moldings, the tailgate band, primed the inside of the bed, and built a new subwoofer box. I know, the box doesnt look that great because its not covered but i have the material just need to pull it out and do it. I am going to add some kick panel speakers in this week or next week have the speakers already just waiting for the kick panels to arrive from captkaos. Theres also a video i recorded, the music is from the truck and the truck is on during the video i think it sound perfect with all stock exhaust. (the music in the truck gets destorted because of my cheap camera ahaha) So heres the pictures let me know what you guys think. O and its oldies but goodies music. :)
