I planning on it being there this year, all 7 days !! Good Lord willing !

A few more pics after picking up the cab

68GMCCustom · 06-16-2010, 12:54 AM

Nice work. Really like your 3rd brake light too!

**Bowtie468** · 06-16-2010, 11:52 PM

More parts delivered ! I love Parts !!!!

68GMCCustom · 06-17-2010, 11:08 AM

yeah I've got a big stack...just waiting to go on the fresh clean frame. My build is not to the same level doing though!

**Bowtie468** · 06-19-2010, 11:59 PM

A little progress made in the last 2 days ! I've gotten the sound deadener layed out in the cab. I plan on extending it up the firewall and also onto the back cab wall, but will use the plain black mat without any brand name plastered all over it, for those areas. Won't be noticeable where the carpet stops.
Also mounted the wiring harness fuse block today. No wires have been terminated, yet ! Mounted a/c bulkhead manifold, ignition switch, a/c controller, brake pedal assy., brake booster and steering column !
Tomorrow, i'll work on getting the new seat positioned and redrill holes for the seat tracks, install carpet, interior light and sun visors.

Here's a few pics of the progress !!

VA72C10 · 06-20-2010, 12:22 AM

Looking awesome!

Deggs · 06-20-2010, 01:57 AM

Looking great!

Can't wait to see those meats under the box.

mcbassin · 06-20-2010, 01:51 PM

Super clean build! Love that attention to detail!
