Here is the Interior

Bill72BB · 07-10-2002, 05:14 PM

And the Headers

Bill

Bamm · 07-10-2002, 05:16 PM

I hope you put in some real good plugs before you dropped that big block in place. Looks like a real job replacing them.......JB

**Yukon Jack** · 07-10-2002, 05:41 PM

Great looking truck. Did you pick up a new hood?

Bill72BB · 07-10-2002, 05:55 PM

Bamm; Actually there is no difference at all in getting to the plugs the one under the air conditioner is still a pain .

Yukon , Yes I picked up another hood because the other one had some cracking Bondo in the front , I,m not sure which one I will use ,I'll check with the guy who is going to do my body work when I get close to painting the truck. The new one has some small dings and is off a 69-70 so has the holes for the emblem .

Man, i hate seeing you Cali guys showing off your rust buckets...our nice clean mid-west trucks look soooo much better. All that salt acts as a rust barrier come the wet spring.

That is an awsome looking truck, and I still think those wheels would look good on the Longhorn!

*Randy70C-10* · 07-10-2002, 06:07 PM

Wow, nice truck Bill!

paintpyro · 07-10-2002, 06:08 PM

Lookin good Bill. Im likin the headers. A neighbor of mine has some new Hedmans shorties for his Chevelle, changed his mind and wants me to buy em. Im thinkin they need to be ceramic coated

. Longhorn, I should take some pix of mine, show you the other end of the spectrum, and I'm only about 20 miles from Bill.

SCOTI · 07-10-2002, 06:32 PM

Clean & simple. You've got a nice ride . . .hey, is that a spot on one of those nice new wheels?? Looks like you'll be doing extra cleaning duty to keep it looking that nice all the time.

Bill72BB · 07-10-2002, 06:39 PM

Thanks Guys.

Scotti . That is why I take so long to get thing looking nice ,then all I do is clean them and worry who is going to hit me , The way it looks now most people get out of my way .

Bill

Bill72BB · 07-10-2002, 06:49 PM

Andy; Wegot rust on the Lefy coast .

Bill

Longhorn Man · 07-10-2002, 06:55 PM

Heck, that is a CLEAN USED TRUCK here.
Gas tanks fall out of the cab here.
Cabs sit 3 inches lower than the bed since the mounts rusted out years ago here.
Beds shift when you corner hard here.
People talk about turning them into convertibles when you can see daylight over the windshield from INSIDE the cab here.
Yet, they still drive these jalopies since we have no required inspection!

Pumkin Truck · 07-10-2002, 09:18 PM

Those rims really make a BOLD statement on that fine truck. I dig those door panels, where did you find them. My truck could use some more mid range spreakers.

*racedvl* · 07-10-2002, 10:26 PM

That is a sharp looking truck!!

Clean midwest trucks?!?!

**Joesjunk** · 07-11-2002, 01:23 AM

Looking very good!! Even a Highlander truck to boot!!!

Blue68 · 07-11-2002, 07:00 PM

Ohhh I remember my days in Michigan. Nothing like looking at the van on your left and seeing THROUGH the doors to the other side!

THen there is the huge selection of rusted mufflers along the sides of the road....
