thanks Donnie, I was redirecting my focus since I was waiting on the inner upper windshield piece to be back in stock from classic parts! I have rust but now have both the inside and outside pieces to fix them!

Thank You Rian, I only wish you guys were closer

Congratulations Chad on the arrival of your beautiful baby girl.

I know I wished you congratulations on FB but after reading your comment I thought I'd reply on here as well . I too wish we were closer . I think it's safe to say Rian probably feels the same way .

[dwcardfan]

Congratulations Chad. She is beautiful!

[Modges'66]

[clemdaddy]

thanks everyone for the comments! yes Clem me an the boy are out numbered now! this is my forth an last child, one boy an the rest are girls! I'm going to have gray hair fast, lol!

going to go get some truck time in today an this weekend

[Grizz1963]

As said before Chad, congrats to you and Dixie.

I am sure granny, grandad and the kids are all pleased.

[Grizz1963]

PS

Collected a rear loadbed cross brace from Martin that he got off Del's truck last year. My truck is missing some braces.

Anyway, Martin showed me this pic, of myself and Chad on the rear bed of Clem's flatbed truck up in the Ozarks when we were in the USA. I had not seen it before, and seem pretty relaxed and happy there.



It reminded me of just how great this trip was.

All the incredible people we got to meet on the trip and also those we missed out spending time with like Donnie Johnson, or meeting like Steve in Arkansas.

Possibly the best time of my life.........

Maybe time for a "Replay"

[chad64chevy]

thanks for the picture Rian! looks like we had just got into the yard to start looking!



So yesterday and todays progress! I cut out the inner upper windshield piece, and made the patch, then started welding it in!

I also wanted to throw in a pic of what the shifter bracket with the bowtie cutouts will look like, and the position of the shifter when done! Yes it is leaning forward

[chad64chevy]

So it's been awhile since I updated this thread! been working a lot, buying things an with the new baby truck progress is slow!

So I have bought some buddy bucket seats from forum member Classic Bowties, picture added! I have also put in my order with forum member Truckseats, for some seat covers! they will be gray vinyl with blue houndstooth inserts an solid gray vinyl jump seat! I won't have for a while 12 week waiting period! I can't seem to add the pic off my phone so please use your imagination with the pics

first pic it the buddy bucket seat I got!
second and third pic is the colors

[chad64chevy]

I have also bought some stainless steel drink holders, an plan on doing what forum member MisterC did with his buddy bucket seats by adding them to the back of the jump seat! will have that update when I get the seat upholstery! the blue houndstooth will blind in with my blue carpet! I have also bought a extra yard of gray vinyl to make sure the armrest, sunvisors, and half wrap steering wheel all match

buddy bucket seats are the 67 style cause they flip forward and I won't have to mod. them

still trying to figure out how I can have 4 point harness seat belts and buddy bucket seats

Close contour roll bar for a mounting point.

I am not sure about OK, but a lot of states it is not legal to run 4 or 5 point belts in a street machine.

Score!!!

Amazing build man!

yea I'm not sure either so I have been looking at retractable jeep lap belts, they have them in gray that is really close to the color of the vinyl

[Modges'66]

Very Cool Chad!!!
I cannot wait to see this all coming together!!!

[clemdaddy]

looks really good Chad… sure love me some buddy buckets. the color and houndstooth weave will look great… its always high anxiety till they're done but it will be worth it.

i like the look of the forward tilting shifter but will you be able to reach it under those 9000 RPM launches?

Not sure what sort of money you need to spend etc, but here in the UK there is a company that will custom make seat belts.

I wonder if they would be able to rebuild belts with different colour fabric, possibly even closer to the colour you are wanting.

I do not think here are many or any cars in the UK that run lap belts.


I really like these Buddy seats, but again, not available in the UK and rarely seen for sale.

We both like the bench seat more than buckets, but Nicola hates me cornering, even moderately as she ends up on my lap.......

Chad, thanks for coming down. I hope the frame swap is quick and painless.

Thanks Paul for the frame! Not sure about "quick" but it will be blasted, an I'll weld in CaptFab. power steering bracket this week, then cut off all the stuff that I don't need! then I think by this next weekend (I HOPE) I will put POR15 on the frame!

Also thanks for the patch panel!!


this is the new to me frame that I will be using for my truck!!
