question for ya, how did you put your headliner up? i dont see any trim, there was one glued in mine but its long gone but the glue is still there of course, i want to cover the mess up but i dont want to have to go through the trouble of drilling holes for trim

VA72C10 · 10-24-2012, 05:54 PM

Industrial strength velcro see my earlier post and I'll take pics when I install the lower door panels the same way.

Dropped my door panels, visors, and armrests to be finished with a set of buckets my upholstery guy is doing....

And....

seat belts came out very nice

NewType72 · 10-24-2012, 08:59 PM

those are some pretty slick belts brother

raull · 10-24-2012, 09:45 PM

i like those belts , who makes them?

Rusbuilt · 10-24-2012, 09:57 PM

belts look amazing!

VA72C10 · 10-24-2012, 11:29 PM

Thanks, the belts are redone originals by a local guy. He does very good work. These have incorrect webbing technically but it's new and i'd put them in a show truck. I can do the correct webbing also.

Got front suspension apart ready for cupped lowers, bags, and better drums to go on next week.

Couple more pics of the belts. Chrome is just polished original. Not perfect but always could be re-plated if you wanted perfect but price would go way up....these are already too nice for a shop truck

BMERDOC · 10-25-2012, 01:25 AM

Ok. So heres my pics. Figured I'd stay up to email, resize and post these pics so you guys would have something to look at while enjoying your morning coffee. One pic shows clearance between the lower control arm and crossmember. Its a research pic because later I hope to give this truck one hell of an alignment. Another shows where the bumper sits with a tape measure. Hopefully, once the front is lowered and the truck rotates back over the axle, it won't be much higher than this when c-notched and aired-out.

The rest are pretty self explanatory.

I left Jonathan's with more homework. I have a bed full of wheels and tires. Because I have time, I intend to slow down and weight match the wheels and tires to minimize wheel weights. I hope to go without any outside weights so as not to "ugly up" the look of the wheels. I'll catch you guys up on that soon.

BMERDOC · 10-25-2012, 01:27 AM

VA72C10 · 10-25-2012, 01:36 AM

Thanks for the pics! Love the way this truck is turning out and couldn't have done it without your help!

Plus it's always less like work and more like fun when hanging out with a friend who's also into trucks and as a huge bonus...knowsknows what he's doing and has the tools I don't have. Thanks again for all your help

And love the idea on the rims. I am not expecting no weights but that would be very cool!

NewType72 · 10-25-2012, 01:43 AM

awesome work guys truck looks gourgeous at that level and hey that's cheatin you rear bumper is rotated down at the very back tisk tisk

VA72C10 · 10-25-2012, 10:43 AM

Thanks! Yeah, the whole rear is rotated down because the front is so high

but once you add in the 3" I will gain with a c-notch it will be close to the same height.....and that bumper is perfect for stepping into the bed....I didn't do that but like the way it looks that low

it's weird to be able to sit on the rear bedside of the truck without having to jump up....I was looking things over after nick left and sat down on the corner of the bed and then it dawned on me that's not normal

Rusbuilt · 10-25-2012, 11:18 AM

So you are leaving the drum brakes for now?

VA72C10 · 10-25-2012, 11:22 AM

Yes, 4 wheel drums. All have almost new wheel cylinders and were re-done within the last yr with under 100 miles put on them. Adding power booster, new master and lines where needed.

This is the only way I can still use the stock steel wheels as they are the style that won't fit the disc brake calipers.
