It's funny, I've saved every pic of that truck that I can find. The owner is a member here. Those are 17x9.5 and 17x11.

smbrouss70 · 02-28-2014, 05:57 PM

Does he have a thread on it, I'd like to see more of it. It's a nice clean truck.

**EDIT** - Nevermind, I found the owner.

jlsanborn · 02-28-2014, 06:41 PM

No joke, that is a cool truck! If no thread could you toss up a couple more pics of them wheels? When you first mentioned those I went for a look and YIKES! $$$ They are damn cool tho!

smbrouss70 · 02-28-2014, 06:45 PM

Look for post by "billneumiller", he is the truck's owner.

Had 2 check back in and admire the progress, which there has been a boat load. Seeing the inside of the wheels above would be nice.

I guess there was a time when Gear Vendors didn't completely own the add on overdrive market. What a great find. Vintage parts are good parts.

Another thing about that unit that you'll appreciate is that when it is cleaned, sealed back up, all new switches, harness, etc...I will be into it for less that the core charge on a 4L80. Not bad in my opinion!

jlsanborn · 07-17-2014, 11:11 AM

How cool is that!

67chevy1series · 07-17-2014, 02:14 PM

Man this truck keeps getting more and more badass I always love to see this thread up again!

darkhorse970 · 11-03-2014, 09:20 PM

Finished up all of the metal work on the cab and got it sealed up with epoxy primer.

darkhorse970 · 11-03-2014, 09:27 PM

Another angle, now the real fun begins with bodywork!

67chevy1series · 11-03-2014, 10:19 PM

Looks great! Keep it up, love what your plans are

darkhorse970 · 11-10-2014, 07:16 PM

I got the Lizard Skin Heat and Sound Control sprayed on my cab floor pan. We sprayed it inside and out.

Bishops Trucks · 11-10-2014, 07:31 PM

Nice work, I'll be in this to the end.

mcbassin · 11-11-2014, 09:00 AM

Very nice work on the cab!

Thanks for the encouragement guys! We are making progress again, so I am motivated to keep it going and get this thing on the road.

**GSFMECH** · 02-15-2015, 08:46 PM

gdavis · 02-16-2015, 02:07 AM

mcbassin · 02-17-2015, 09:31 AM

Very nice progress!

Low68 · 02-18-2015, 09:05 PM

Cab looks great. Do you have any advise on spraying the lizard skin? I have it sitting on the shelf waiting to spray on my cab.

The Lizard Skin sprayed out really easy. I used the gun that comes with the kit. After a little adjustment to get the texture like we wanted, there was nothing to it.

jlsanborn · 02-19-2015, 12:16 AM

Man that thing looks great! Is that a resto'd air filter housing or aftermarket? Exactly what I'm looking for.

darkhorse970 · 02-19-2015, 06:55 AM

It's an OEM air cleaner that has been repainted.
