Knocked the cobwebs off...... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

FuelCellGuy · 11-18-2003, 11:08 PM

the bedcover. It is time to refit, rethink, and paint this SOB. It needs to be mounted and finished up. Can't believe how much dust and spider webs can be accumulated over three years!

It will be worth it. Will post more pics when painting is complete. Later, FCG

casey · 11-18-2003, 11:15 PM

cobwebs? looks like its ready to go, you must be doing some motor work. why is the hood off?

FRENCHBLUE72 · 11-18-2003, 11:17 PM

That is 2 nice a truck to let sit and the coral paint is killer...

griesel72 · 11-18-2003, 11:21 PM

Your truck is bad assed. Get that thing out and show it off.

FuelCellGuy · 11-18-2003, 11:33 PM

is in the process. After the 454 flatened TWO cams, I said screw this! I bought an LT1/4L60E. That is why the hood is off. I am fixing to build the mounts and put it in for a mockup, then pull it, paint it and mount it for good. I have been teased by this truck for the last year and still haven't got to drive it for more than 20 miles. The LT1 WILL solve that problem.

67cst · 11-18-2003, 11:37 PM

dude your truck is gorgeous, im so envious

FuelCellGuy · 11-18-2003, 11:37 PM

this is a better pic....

FuelCellGuy · 11-18-2003, 11:39 PM

I think some of you misunderstood, or I mis explained. I knocked the cobwebs off the BEDCOVER. It needs to be painted. I am just to that part of the project now. The cover has been made for three years only to get stored in the corner. Won't be long. Later, FCG

jay-dawg · 11-18-2003, 11:45 PM

Hi Mark,
Are you going to run A/C. if so, are you going to leave the accessories as is and cut the frame, or will you get the aftermarket accessory brackets? I'll probably hit you up for a gas tank one of these days.
