Little Steps - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**Palf70Step** · 07-13-2005, 08:18 PM

I'm on a long weekend since my vacation got put on hold. So I was able to do quite a bit today of little things today, even some on the truck. Removed interrior (again) and started cleaning up and prepping passanger side of the cab with Eastwood rust stuff. Hopefully I'll get to prep and do the driver's side between now and Sunday. Also worked on aligning my replacement doors (Thanks Dean). I also played around with some paint to see if I am going stock medium olive, white, or this blue-green color when I actually start putting color too it.

looks like a lot of fun,wish that I was that far along! I really like the medium olive and white,but the blues are nice too.

Way to go Bill, you'll be done with yours way before I'll be done with mine.

sleepyboy · 07-13-2005, 10:35 PM

Love the custom seat; I have one like that currently too; little rough on long hauls though.

1STtimePRo'71 · 07-14-2005, 12:01 AM

WHat kind of shifter setup is that?

5150 · 07-14-2005, 02:24 AM

Looks good Bill!!!

**Palf70Step** · 07-14-2005, 07:21 AM

1sttimePro'71 - The shifter is the Hurst Indy shifter for our trucks. I got mine through Summit

72MARIO · 07-14-2005, 07:46 AM

Thought you would be finished by now

Just kidding I finally got my 67 running after 4 years last night. And drove it up the drive way too. There sure are alot of hours involved getting them apart and back together. Looks like it coming along nicely.

tomatocity · 07-14-2005, 02:17 PM

Did Dennis screw up your vacation?

CalCustom, Hurst, S10, Eastwood, Milk. Are you sure you are not in California

Sweet!

What is the Eastwood product you are using? Are you going to double seal (boot) your shifter? If it doesn't squeek you can use split pipe insulation on the edges of the floor opening. Medium Olive is my vote.

thecatseye66 · 07-14-2005, 02:28 PM

I vote for Medium Olive also

Putter · 07-14-2005, 04:08 PM

I like the Olive color also. Looking good. I have about 1/2 my new cab primed w/ etching primer right now. I'd finish it up if it would only STOP raining!!

dubie · 07-14-2005, 04:21 PM

Lookin good Bill. Any progress is a step in the right direction. I think your truck will look good in whatever color you choose

GMan69 · 07-14-2005, 04:44 PM

You've made a lot of progress since I last saw your truck. Partial to the med. olive myself, but whatever you choose will look awesome. You gonna be driving LEGALLY for Cruisin' the Coast?

**Palf70Step** · 07-14-2005, 05:05 PM

Thanks all.

Gman....I dunno yet. I hope to be on the road, but I don't know yet.

krue · 07-14-2005, 05:36 PM

Well I still got you there Bill, mine's still legal.

Beware of what you wish for. We wanted Summer and now it has been between 100-105. Can't paint in that weather either.

lloyd k · 07-15-2005, 02:28 AM

**Palf70Step** · 07-15-2005, 07:58 AM
