Some pictures of the build, chassis with SS brake lines, new brakes and all new bushings,por-15 frame paint, 72 Truck 350 with 4 speed,94 quick ratio power steering.

Cab with new rockers and corners and lots of sanding and lots of primer and more sanding. Filling many mirror holes on both doors.The rotisserie is a mandatory aid when doing body work.

The before and after on the Upholstery on the bucket seats and the buddy seat. I had access to buckets and console from a 71 Cheyenne but some of my friends with trucks talked me out of using them and keeping the seats original.

The Finished Truck in August 2015, still had many bugs to solve like various leaks, allignment, seal replacement, burned ignition wires on headers, clutch and brake adjustment. As of now April 2016 it is pretty much bug free and a dream to drive.:chevy:

Disc Brakes are the next improvement on the list, in the meantime I try not to follow to close.

The bed with the spray in liner and the exterior of bed after filling holes and fixing the oil can effect from having camper support cables on the bed. Took much filler primer and 3M filler to get ready for paint. The truck had a 3/5 static drop springs also.:chevy:

Thanks, It drives sweet except the mufflers are really loud so I have to watch when I stand on it to avoid tickets.The steering is also very quick as the steering box came out of a 94 police Caprice, if you sneeze and jerk the steering wheel you could be in the ditch.:chevy:
