Re: Chucks SWB Fleetside
I actually used a plastic handle form a jar opener that fit in the gaps perfectly. I tapped gently until they came right out.

Re: Chucks SWB Fleetside
I got the 2 6'' at pull a part and the 8'' from a board member here. I bought four of 8'' and decided to do 6'' on the front. Sold the two other 8'' and tried to sell these but nobody would send the $. So I decided to use them and sell the rallies. I'm going to run my GMC hubcaps I got from Tim. I'm going for a plain jane look. I may paint my grille that I have for mockup and run it with chrome bezels and bumper. I have to see what that will look like first though. I think most trucks that were plain had white bumpers and grilles and bezels too.

Re: Chucks SWB Fleetside
I just sent payment to a board member for a Power steering pump and brackets for my big block. So I have almost all of that bb stuff. When I rebuild the 454 I'll buy an aftermarket intake and carb. The way gas prices are I may stick with my 350 though for now.

Re: Chucks SWB Fleetside
I got the big block PS pump and brackets in the mail yesterday. The seller included a new pump with it that will need a canister pressed onto it. The pulley on the pump w/ the canister was bent pretty good. I figure the usps people dropped it. I'll find another one when I get the motor rebuilt and need one.

Re: Chucks SWB Fleetside
Chuck,

Looks great!! Your garage looks a lot cleaner than the last time I saw it too.

I am still waiting on Brothers to send me the tailgate parts kit so I can finish the bed on mine. Of course I will have to dig it out of all the boxes and stuff in the garage left over from the move first.

Keep up the good work. Hope I can get back to Clarksville soon. Maybe i'll wait till all the storms pass!
