what is bolding you up on your truck build?
Hey guys, just a simple thread here. What is the next thing you want to do to your truck, and what is stopping you?
For me, the next thing(s) are to repair the wiring short I have and body work. The hold up is time right now. The wife just started working so I'm on kid duty when I get home from work. But this weekend I'm putting them to work, possibly with some wand paper :-)

Re: what is bolding you up on your truck build?
Time and money is my hold up.
I work out of town, home on the weekends, so I have to split time with the truck and family. Money, well I'm still trying to get my money tree to grow. ![]() We're probably all in the same boat in one way or another. |

Re: what is bolding you up on your truck build?
Still looking for front fender for my C50 project. I need the front fenders to make rear fender flares to cover the super singles.
Currently cutting my Kodiak front axle down 9 inches to fit. Then Ill have 4 wheel disk with 22.5 Alcoa's all around.

Re: what is bolding you up on your truck build?
Time, space, laziness, and a bent frame.
My '72 still sits half torn apart waiting for me to get off my lazy butt to put the '69 frame underneath it. Gary

Re: what is bolding you up on your truck build?
This is 67-72chevytrucks.com not Facebook. I did a quick scan of your posts and didn't see anything (I could have missed it though). Why would you not share your smiley inducing thoughts here?

Re: what is bolding you up on your truck build?
Body/paint and no place to do it inside or money to pay a shop to do it (which I really don't want even if I had the money)

Re: what is bolding you up on your truck build?
69chevytrucker....wow that really sucks...people always asked why i never got laser surgery on my eyes...i figured if i did i'd have to wear safety glasses all the time so why bother...a lot of wire wheels out there were designed to go into 1/4 in electric drills and will come apart if you put them in an air tool...and on the original subject,MONEY....need 2 mar-k bedsides, a bed wood kit, and 4 BFG's...and i'm not working

Re: what is bolding you up on your truck build?
Time and Money mostly. Always another hobby or project that keeps getting higher priority. Lsat few months my free weekends have been spent at the hunting camp building a two man stand for my dad and son. Plus trying to get the other stuff around there done and winterize my boat and get it stored.
For the truck, I'm chasing an overheat problem, I think I have it licked but I have to replace the ignition switch now before I can try and crank it again.

Your truck looks great, Dave. I am looking forward to seeing it in person at one of our fall get togethers.
