[mosthatedk5]

got it about a month ago,
put in some brand new ss seats
slapt together a bed with some wood
im working on getting a notch and fenderwells built
i need them front and back
truck needs alot of work but hopefully i can keep everyone updated on all of my progress
thanks for looking

[OARNGESI]

Really nice looks like the hard work is done if you paint the top white itll look perfect

[mosthatedk5]

well i still need to do ALOT of sheet metal work on the inside
and on the paint im thinking about doing a kind of 2 tone
black on bottom and red ontop with a 2 or 3 inch silver stripe seperating the red and black i actually have a pic of the truck i got the idea from

[OARNGESI]

That paintjobs going to look really good

[Tony_SS]

[Jonboy]

[87 dually burb]

sub'd for this one more pics of front setup
how much of a z does it have and how is the steering run?
looking good

[justpball]

what did the SS seats come out of?

[mosthatedk5]

Uhm I'm not sure I just got into the bagged truck scene.... I'm trying to learn all of the stuff
I can probably figure it out today or tommorow

and the seats were suppose to go into an 09 cobalt ss... But I got them from a friend who got them brand new from the factory... I got them in the factory plastic wrap

[justpball]

nice score! did he say how much they are from the factory?

[mosthatedk5]

I think I heard him say like 900 for the set
they have butt warmers and everything
they are full electric

[justpball]

nice! Thanks

[mosthatedk5]

well hopefully tommorow i can do my push button start and wire up my tail lights... something went wrong and now i dont have any driving light, dash lights, dome lights, or tail lights, but i do have headlights lol
let me know if you have any ideas on what the problem could be

[mosthatedk5]

got my push button start panel installed
isnt wired up yet im having a few problems with what to do
it looks really clean i think
tell me what you think

[tvblazer78]

So why are you putting a push start in? The tray looks like a good home for it.

[mosthatedk5]

I'm doing it cuz I have to start my truck with a screw driver and Im tired of swaping out ignitions so I'm just gonna by pass it and put a killswitch key and a push button start on... And I think it looks cool lol
and it was really convinent that it fit right into the ashtray slot.

[Hoods69BadBowTie]

Yea sweet looking truck looks good. Clean install of the starter in the ashtray looks good there. If you do go that way with paint its gonna look wicked

[mosthatedk5]

[mosthatedk5]

home made drive shaft cover
its not finished yet i think im gonna sheet metal it and then lay the licence plates over it cuz i really like the original look...

[mosthatedk5]
