It's done! Well almost....going to paint in a couple of weeks!!!
Hey guys it has been an interesting build for me and I have enjoyed it all! I have got the new suspension, new tires, new exhaust system mounted up in frame new interior and got the new rebuilt engine back in, so now I am driving it have put around 200 miles so far breaking in the new engine. it drives great!!!! Got a quote today on paint hopefully going to the painter in about 2 weeks! Well here are a few photos of how it came out before paint all I like to do is the paint and installing the new oak bed floor. A few before and after shots, How did it turn out? Thanks for the help everybody, Robert

Re: It's done! Well almost....going to paint in a couple of weeks!!!
Sorry for the delay in a answer I do have to work for my truck money! Front tires are 215 X 70's on 7" ralleys and rear 275 X 60's on 8" ralleys. The ralleys are 6 lug with I think 1999 or 2000 GMC 6 lug van centers.

Looking good, man. Hopefully I can check it out if I'm up that way sometime. I may try to hit the downtown Rogersville cruise in a couple months.

Looks great. What color is that? I was hoping to paint mine something close to that. Happy to see one already that color. Are you painting it the same color?

Re: It's done! Well almost....going to paint in a couple of weeks!!!
I am not sure what color it is? Me and the Wife have been trying to decide on a color we do not like the present color that good. This week we are going with original 507 light blue with a two tone white top that is if we can stay on the same page together we both keep changing our minds...blue,silver,gray,white just to name a few we have "decided" on, so....this is a new week starting! Who knows? Thanks Robert
