Received the two emblems in the rear today. The chrome on the second from the rear would be flawless if not for one small scratch in the upper right on the 2nd zero. The one in the rear is pitted. Per E-bay seller, "no pits". That's okay, the good one is worth what I paid for both, so no complaint here.

The two in front came off the truck, and until tonight haven't been washed in 20 years. They're real good, the one in front a 99%er. Can't say I'm dissatisfied with these either. Anyway, no big deal......."baby steps".

Pulled off the passenger side valve cover and found the #8 intake pushrod with one end ground off and the rocker arm all wollered out. Only a couple hours on my first top-end, I thought for sure I was free and clear and nailed it first try oh well. Back to the drawing board

I finished getting some parts media blasted and ready for paint this weekend.

Bent up new fuel lines from the cab tank to the fuel pump in 3/8" tube and installed on the frame rail.

Drove my 72 to work for first time since replacing engine. Smiled all the way to work��

[66clow]

Made some progress 3 in front springs and shocks. Now time for the rear. Was made easy with the removed springs had 2 coils cut out by po. Would not recommend that. Gotta change out that last wagon wheel

[mud.man.rj]

Front looks good for 3" drop, 1 coil isn't bad but 2 coils is to much for the spring, nicer as you did to replace w drop coil..

Aside from some block sanding (along with the rest of the truck) I finally wrapped this hood up... so glad that's behind me....

[chevy2tom]

Very cool, nice work!

[Custom/20]

Got rid of the twisted old 46 year old bumper and installed a brand new one from classicparts. Thankfully I also ordered a new set of bolts cause a couple of them snapped when trying to get them free even after soaking in rust penetrating oil.

Well after my truck sitting for 5 years I'm finally installing a LS LQ4 with transmission from a 2005 Denali, Let the fun begin.

[ksshane]

installed the rear bumper.

Wife got home as I was finishing up. She asked what was I doing, and when I told her she just said... Oh, I didnt notice it was missing and walked in the house.

my truck hasnt had a rear bumper since the day I bought it..... I just shook my head and finished putting my tools away.

That's awesome work. What color shade of red did you use?

[custom10nut]

I put LED lights in my Cargo Lamp that I converted to a a Third Brake Light. It looks and works great.

[66clow]

Something as simple as lights feel sooo good. Also finished installing rear suspension. Rear wiring harness. 3 5 drop for now. Set timing. Moved it around for the first time. Turn downs due makes things dusty.

I really like the color, it has a red and orange hue with a pearl in it to give the transparent look from factory

66Clow your drop looks good. What tire sizes do you have on in the pictures. Looks perfect man. I'm thinking of the same drop. Did you uses ECE? Spindles/springs/shocks? Is your drives haft close to the cross member? Thanks in advance I'd like to do this soon.
