halfwaythere · 12-01-2002, 03:51 PM

not much longer now . I just need to install the winshield and back window.

I also need a new back bumper and brackets anyone out there know where to get the best deal. I have dealt with chevduty in the past but the bumpers seem to be a bit high. maybe for the Christmas season????

TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK OF MY TWO YEAR PLUS ENDEAVOR!!!!

I THINK THAT IT WAS WORTH EVERY SECOND!!!

I bought the truck on thanksgiving two years ago but actually didn't start tearing it down until late Cecember or early January. I have been working on the truck just a shade under two years

Im attaching a pic when the ol gal was in a million pieces

and yes orange was the original color

Great job!!!! Do you have anymore interior pics of your console. Looks like a nice setup. Sure wish I had a shop that size to work in all the time.

bigvinnie · 12-01-2002, 04:27 PM

lookin' good.... do you think those speakers will be enough, or should you go bigger?

**Palf70Step** · 12-01-2002, 04:30 PM

I guess your good friends with law enforcement, cuz you can't hide from them that is for sure.

It looks real good!!!

Super Chevy · 12-01-2002, 05:48 PM

Nice work! May i ask,what kind of amp you running?

*racedvl* · 12-01-2002, 05:58 PM

Looking great!!! I also wish I had a nice warm building like that to work in. . . . . . . .

1971 Cheyenne · 12-01-2002, 06:26 PM

WOW! you gotta love that interior. little bigger on the speaker though. that little one looks like a toy

halfwaythere · 12-01-2002, 06:35 PM

Yeah the shop was very nice to work in as far as keeping the snow off of me and the truck but there wasn't a heater or any insulation around 80% of the building. A lot of time was spent huddled over a MR. Heater propane heater.

As far as the amp goes I have been running two different ones both are the rockford fosgate old skool type. one is 125X2 which I actually think I liked more because of the sound quality and the other is a 225X2 which throws out more thump but I cant hear the high notes.

As far a size goes with the speakers I will stick to the fosgate 10's. I think much more would just be overkill in that size of a truck.

I added my other interior picture that I had on file

BY THE WAY THANK YOU GUYS FOR THE COMPLIMENTS ON THE TRUCK I DONT THINK THAT I COULD HAVE DONE IT WITH OUT THIS WEBSITE AND THE MEMBERS

Cheyenne Super · 12-01-2002, 06:39 PM

What are your seats out of?

mooneyes · 12-01-2002, 06:41 PM

nice work..looks like its time to change your name...lol

halfwaythere · 12-01-2002, 06:48 PM

the seats are out of a 1997 jeep grand cherokee. The bluish gray is the original material and the rest I had upholstered. The best part about it all is that they are power and have heat

I agree on the name change maybe to damnclosetobeingthere

67cst · 12-01-2002, 07:03 PM

halfwaythere · 12-01-2002, 08:08 PM

Seats are out of a '97 Grand Cherokee.... hmmmmmm, wondering if I can swap my old torn bench seat with my tan leather seats from my jeep? Did you keep your fuel tank in the cab. I plan on installing my 10" fosgates behind the seats when I move the tank to the bed.
