I finally got around to replacing the heater core. Did I install the heater core upside down, or are the hoses supposed to be crossed?

I also picked up some fuzzy dice and a sticker. Next week I plan on ordering the carpet and a dash pad and get started on the sound system.

**basketcase** · 01-12-2009, 12:20 AM

I have 2 heater assemblies out in the shop that have never been apart and the 3/4" hose in on the top with the 5/8" on the bottom.

Thanks

So I finally got started on my bed wood. I was going to use cherry but I didn't really feel like spending over $300. But I did find some Birch. I thought it looked neat (the grain looks awesome in person) and is still something different than your standard pine or oak. I'm not much of a woodworker but I will be able to finish the install with less than $75 spent. I will use a clear polyurethane to seal it up and really make the grain pop. Also doing hidden bed bolts. The houndstooth is a preview of my cordoroy seat cover I'm having made. And then of course, SKULLFACE the 2nd.

The wood looks super clean!!

What happen to skullface #1, the dog eat it?

I love those frenched tail lights! Looking awesome! The white top sets the blue off perfectly, and love the pinstriping too! I'm jealous...can't wait to get mine done!

kyull67 · 01-21-2009, 02:20 PM

Thanks!

kyull67 · 01-26-2009, 07:30 PM

Got the bed wood finished and installed. Now time for the interior...

kyull67 · 01-27-2009, 04:29 PM

Test fitting the new seat cover, it's not quite finished yet.

ChaseDale3and8 · 01-28-2009, 02:21 AM

Your truck looks better every time I see it Kyle! Hard to believe that what you started with has turned into this in such a short time! ...Joe

**basketcase** · 01-28-2009, 03:42 AM

He's making the rest of us look bad.

Thanks, I hope to have the interior completely finished in a month or so.

I finally completed my set of the elusive '67 only seat belts with retractors. Soaked them in Oxy Clean and then took a wire wheel to the buckles. I think they look good enough for me but I may dye them black. I got a better shot of the wood with the garage door open and a little sun shining in.

HuggerCST · 01-30-2009, 01:33 PM

NICE! Love the bed wood.

kyull67 · 01-30-2009, 02:58 PM

Thanks!

Richard8971 · 01-30-2009, 10:02 PM

Dude, I want those seatbelts! Sweeeeeeet.

kyull67 · 01-31-2009, 12:28 PM

They are nice. I took a lighter to all the fringe and they look even better now.

whatnow123 · 01-31-2009, 02:15 PM

Those seat belts are very cool, but something tells me that the fabric may not be up to par safety wise. Just tossing that out there...

kyull67 · 01-31-2009, 07:38 PM

Yeah they are pretty much just for looks.

glimmertwin01 · 02-01-2009, 12:53 PM
