Bumper is on, don't look to close this ones a little warped, it only temporarily till I go to "Brothers". ;)

Re: Patina, patina, patina.....70' swb
 

Looks great Rene!! I have to ask what did you do to make it angle in to match the curve at the backside of the bed?? The one I just installed, which everything is brand new and aftermarket sits a little more straight up and down, not completely vertical but as curved in as yours.

Ahhhhhhhh! That's too bad, hopefully you'll find some replacements at the swapmeet.

Latest update......Bucket seats......And if I still have it in 2 weeks you'll see some more changes. ;)

Re: Patina, patina, patina.....70' swb
 

Looking good, did you get lucky with finding some green buckets or are you just good?? ;)

Re: Patina, patina, patina.....70' swb
 

Your truck is lookin' good.
I might just switch my short step back to a short fleet.

Re: Patina, patina, patina.....70' swb
 

Lucky is my middle name and a big thanks to "travelin man" who gave me a good deal. :chevy:

Thanks, it could still use a lowering job, remember 2012 is the year of the fleetside, :lol::lol::lol:

Re: Patina, patina, patina.....70' swb
 

;)Hey now, I just wanted to say sweet trucks you have sir, and I have a question on the" custom" black plate I know the earlier plates are tin, do you weld the old to the new or what is the process cuz I want to do this for my trucks boring plates.
thanks for the secrets;);)

Re: Patina, patina, patina.....70' swb
 

Thanks for the complements on the trucks, but to answer your question on the plates look at post 152 and you can see that I just layed the cut older (California) plate right on top of the newer plate after they were painted and fastened them together with the frame on top, the screws do the rest. No welding required! ......... *Remember* If you paint the plates and they like sh#....... :eek: I mean don't look right you will get a TICKET! because it's against the law. :sumo:

Re: Patina, patina, patina.....70' swb
 

Buckets look right at home in there Rene! Nice score. This truck just keeps getting nicer.

It looks like the shipper only used newspaper for padding? Ouch. Glass kinda takes real special attention to get delivered safely. It can be done but you have to plan for the couriers dropping,throwing and stacking your boxes.
Sorry for your loss.

Re: Patina, patina, patina.....70' swb
 

I saw that truck this morning, on CL

Re: Patina, patina, patina.....70' swb
 

Yeah, I heard it's on there. ;)

Re: Patina, patina, patina.....70' swb
 

Yeah I called but the guy was like "you said you'll give me how much?" and the next thing I heard was "click". Just kidding Rene. I wish we could work out a deal for a trade but I think yours may be ahead of mine. :waah:

Re: Patina, patina, patina.....70' swb
 

Believe me if I still have this after Turlock I'm turning you loose on it! ;)

Re: Patina, patina, patina.....70' swb
 

Yes the tilt has been hot tanked, stripped and primed. Gonna paint parts tomorrow. :metal:
Printed circuit for tach dash is on order. :ito:

Re: Patina, patina, patina.....70' swb
 

Coooooool, so maybe next week? :bann:

Re: Patina, patina, patina.....70' swb
 

Hey how would these seats look in here instead of these? :chevy:

Re: Patina, patina, patina.....70' swb
 

I love the gmc buddies but for color combo those green buckets are a perfect match IMO.
