I installed a tach/vacuum cluster, floor shift tilt column, steering wheel and buddy buckets.

The gauge cluster and BuddyBuckets look great .

Thanks,
Charles.

OK will allow you to use an old license plate. You have to get a "real" tag and keep it in the truck w/you. It costs $21.50 to use the old one.

Much better, and new rubber brake lines too.

Nice. Go to their website and they'll let you post before/after pics. I sent them some a couple weeks ago, but haven't checked the site.

73737373 · 02-29-2016, 10:56 AM

More pics.... Was quite a bit of decay along the bottom of the skin so had my upholstery guy sew a strip along the bottom. I thought the mismatching colors was better than a ragged finish.

I glued the skin to a metal door panel. The wrinkles are from where the foam separated from the vinyl and I did not peel all that off from the backside of the skin to reglue it. I did it on the driver side door skin, and it's a miserable job. There's the vinyl, the foam and then the paper, and the foam/paper is heat sealed to the embossed areas on the door panel. Hard to explain.

I need some matching color estucheons!!

73737373 · 02-29-2016, 11:06 AM

Hood. Not sure if I'm going to be able to save it, or have to get it repainted..... I did the passenger side and it came out OK. The spots that have paint on them shine like new. Found myself buffing a lot of black primer to a shine.... Very delicate balance to get the dead paint off to find some that I can work, without going all the way to the bare metal.

73737373 · 02-29-2016, 11:13 AM

Rear sport bumper. Patina truck needs a patina bumper, although am toying w/putting a new one on.

My little helper in the lower left on the 1st picture.

73737373 · 02-29-2016, 11:17 AM

And redid a wheel... Lots of sanding, some SEM primer, more sanding and Rustoleum professional gloss white. Magic!!

Jose's 69 · 02-29-2016, 12:27 PM

Started my front suspension rebuild and disc brake conversion.

vidman · 03-01-2016, 08:51 PM

Installed my dash-pad and did some interior wiring

firedemon · 03-01-2016, 09:17 PM

tlman · 03-01-2016, 09:23 PM

waiting for rad support to test engine ,hasn't been run yet, drive shaft coming checked out wiring harness .gotta paint headers ,but I'm gonna take a break tonight

midniteblues · 03-02-2016, 09:50 AM

Finished these up yesterday. I didn't notice they screwed up and gave me 3/4" bolts for the hooks gotta go back and get 5/8".

The knob on the hubs has some pits in them that took black paint when I sprayed the letters. they look good enough 4 me.
Wrap m box m and on the self they both go for a while till I'm ready for them.

Just about the prettiest thing on these trucks is a refinished wood floor bed w/the stainless strips.

firedemon · 03-04-2016, 09:33 PM

not a lot but dash is done

89AKurt · 03-05-2016, 12:25 AM

Replaced the transmission mount. Some of you might get a kick out of my sophisticated "shade tree mechanic" jack.

Metaldoc · 03-05-2016, 01:44 AM

new booster, master, proportional valve, brackets, and lines, lines and brackets from scratch.

OregonNed · 03-05-2016, 01:51 AM

I REALLY like it.

It stumps me, though.
Then again, I'm pretty loggy tonight.
