Very Nice!!!!!!!

Steven Sellers · 11-22-2003, 06:55 PM

Looks good, I thought that was a truck Dons72 owns at first

Tuck · 11-22-2003, 06:57 PM

its actually is Hugger Orange but looks red in pictures.

griesel72 · 11-22-2003, 06:58 PM

1970blazin · 11-22-2003, 07:10 PM

Wow! I am jealous! Lookin' great!!

**Classic Heartbeat** · 11-22-2003, 07:21 PM

Hey Jon, Looking good!! Hope you don't mind, but here is a picture of what the truck looked like when he started. Almost every piece has been replaced with new metal. WES www.ClassicHeartbeat.com

Tuck · 11-22-2003, 07:24 PM

Don't forget. They were all goodmark parts and they fit perfect. The door and hood gaps are 100% better than GM did.

**Classic Heartbeat** · 11-22-2003, 07:30 PM

(Purchased from www.ClassicHeartbeat.com too!!) (Thank you very much, Jon for your continuing support.) I was going to post that but I figured that if you wanted to that you would... I am going to use the picture that you emailed me to update your pictures in my client's pics page. WES www.ClassicHeartbeat.com

CPNEJR · 11-22-2003, 07:32 PM

nice truck

especially like the after pic but I could live with before.

**Classic Heartbeat** · 11-22-2003, 07:33 PM

By the way, how come there is no girl in the background with a head set on in this picture? The one you sent me has one. Is that your wife? WES www.ClassicHeartbeat.com

Tuck · 11-22-2003, 07:37 PM

Because your special. I had two pictures she walked in one one.

I cant find the old oicture could you send it to me in Jpeg?

krue · 11-22-2003, 07:41 PM

Big improvement!

**Classic Heartbeat** · 11-22-2003, 07:41 PM

Sorry but I don't have that picture any more. That was one you sent me on my old computer, and well that one is history. You can copy the one that is on my website, it is a jpeg image. I will look in my web publishing program to see what I have in there. Also do you want me to post the picture with your wife in it? Let me know. WES

**Classic Heartbeat** · 11-22-2003, 07:48 PM

Found one Jon. I sent it to you. WES

lukecp · 11-22-2003, 07:51 PM

I love it! Very sweet shortie....quite a change too!

Spoof · 11-22-2003, 07:53 PM

How was it installing the trim? It looks great, any trouble spots or info you can pass on?
Actually that goes for the sheetmetal replacement on the whole truck. I was glad to hear a positive repro sheetmetal story.

Tuck · 11-22-2003, 08:25 PM

Since I had all new panels I didnt want to drill alot of holes for the clips. I used the sticky clips. the chrome sticks out a little from the body. I 'm just anal.

As for the sheet metal, Just take your time.

I have a new set of mirrors but I think I like it with them off.nIf I start getting tickets I will put them on.

casey · 11-22-2003, 10:03 PM

looks great and totally appreciate how straight you lined up all the chrome, nice work

dinnut · 11-22-2003, 11:24 PM

is it lowered or are those tires really big?

FRENCHBLUE72 · 11-22-2003, 11:29 PM

Nice work look's like a great restoration how long did that projec take and how close to done are you??

Tuck · 11-23-2003, 12:47 AM

It took three years but one year I was off for back surgery.

It is lowered 2.5 in the front and 4 in the rear.

All thats left is to install the bumpers,grill and tailgate.

Tuck · 11-23-2003, 12:50 AM

Tuck · 11-23-2003, 12:53 AM

dinnut · 11-23-2003, 01:54 AM

that truck is beautiful. next time you wash it put something on those tires to clean them up and some tire wet. it makes a world of difference.
