I put the seat and door panels back in the truck. I kept the original vinyl on the seat and sewed in new plaid from SMS. While it was apart we added a little new foam to the sagging ends. It sits like a new seat. Also re dyed the door panels.

A door panel

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
 

Interior looks GREAT!!!!... I have always liked the plaid...

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
 

Had new door panels made for it along with the vent window delete which is a very rare opition on these trucks! It's almost as rare as the corvette engine mod. I bought a clear shower curtain and put it on the door behind the new panel to keep the moisture out. I hope it works. :chevy:

I cracked open the rear end to drop in some ECE 5 lug axles in my 67. Her shoes are finally going to match. I also confirmed that I had 3.73 gears with posi. Yeah buddy.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
 

Door's have deadner installed also inside the door.:chevy:

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
 

Patched the speaker holes from the PO behind the seat. Still have holes in the doors to do. Must have been an awesome system, Kraco cassette player and 4 Kraco speakers!

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
 

Speaker repair turned out great ,Kraco was top of the line Kmart though way back when ,LOL.

I completed a little dash upgrade project, painted the plastic hugger orange to match the dash and converted the gauges to white face. I paneled the gauge pod with a 1/8" thick piece of zebra wood. I am happy with the result, will eventually make a zebra wood panel for the glove box door.

I clicked on your truck build link and it just takes me to your home page...

Looks like some nice work you got there

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
 

Got frustrated putting in my signal switch and after all the hard work brake lights still not working. Discovered po jacked up wiring under the dash. What the heck do they be thinking? Leave the original stuff alone. Hopefully I don't have to spend too much time tracing the problems. Sometimes things like this make you want to throw in the towel. Lol

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
 

Thank You, I am pretty happy with it.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II

Installing the electric cruise control! Got most of it done but have to pull the PCM out for the last wire. VSS signal wire is all that is left and the turn signal lever.:chevy:

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
 

got the cab and bed painted on Saturday....

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
 

Beautiful piece of white oak you have there, and a nice stain choice to. I'd like to make a varnish suggestion. I restore mahogany boats for a living. Petit Captains varnish is a traditional phenolic varnish that provides a nice Amber hue and UV protection. About 10-12 coats would have wood looking fantastic. We have experimented with automotive clear on wood and has worked pretty well so far (it's only been on the boat for a year) but it's clear and doesn't give that deep rich luster. I'd love to see your floor when it's done.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
 

Looks nice ... how did you get them to stick to the ceiling like that? That would help make more room in my garage if I could do that lol

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
 

lol

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
 

:gmc2:Thanks for that info - appreciate it. I opted for Epiphanes after some research and it looks great. Sounds like it was a top choice for kayaks. We are doing at least ten coats for the look we want. It won't ever see rain again but if I ever get stuck in it I feel it will be well protected.

So far spent most of the morning tracking down a rattle in the drive train. No luck so I'll keep looking as I watch the race!

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
 

i was thinking it must be a pain painting from a ladder lol

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
 

If someone would have told me it would 5 days to cut, dado, router, drill, mock up install, reinstall, reinstall then get my custom 68' short wood bed on the frame ( after lifting it off to drill the gas filler hole) i'd say they were crazy. not anymore..

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
 

Well by the looks of it perfection takes a few days, sure looks good.:cool:

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
 

Nice Sunday spent in the driveway.

New starter hooked up on my Dad's C-10.

Shocks, front and rear greased on my C-20.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
 

Sure looks good though.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
 

Last night - cleaned out my buddy's garage (moved his jeep out, and equipment) got the C10 on the lift and took wheels off to start replacing brake cylinders, he's going to work on that this week while he is "slow" on other work, hopefully have the exhaust put in this week!

Got my insurance on it this morning and getting ready to head to DMV to get tags - woohoo!

here's some pics of the original bed and tailgate, then the replacement I found for $200!

I didn't realize it had an original wood bed - the plate steel has always been in it as long as I can remember, when we lifted it up to do the brakes, some of the wood fell down, it's almost like one of those house shows where they pull the carpet up and "hey you have wood floors!" - only problem here is that I can't simply remove the covering and be done! My friend said something to me a few weeks ago about how my grandpa put that in, because there was some ply-wood under the steel that was rotted, upon closer inspection last night we realized it wasn't plywood but the original wood floor.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
 

That's going to be crazy loud! That's BadA$$.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
 

Yea it's pretty loud. I'm gonna make some baffles to slip inside. I drove it around for quite awhile with a very similar setup back when I first got it running.
