Nice work

Do you have a link or contact info for the "crl felt channels and felts"?

[69 chevy 1]

Hi captain fab,internet info is crlaurence.com the phone is 1800421-6144 they are nation wide they have a store in Vegas also,the channel is called flexible auto channel comes in 96 inch pieces they are 25.30 each you would need two i needed 4, part number is 10g96. the felt also comes in 96 inch pieces,i cut this to fit against the sliding window frames and glass dividers so the window can slide against it. both are identical or very close to factory part number for the felt is ym396,you wont need a bunch of this its 14.25

Thanks for the link and info. It looks like that is a good source for glass channels and felts. I assume they sell to the general public?

[69 chevy 1]

well got a new shop to tinker in my spare time moved burb from my house garage been going slow but still at it.Got tired of chasing rear hatch struts on ebay for stupid money,picked up a pair or 56 chevy nomad wagon struts a few inches shorter and the upper hatch is a bit lower but not really a big deal price was 100.00.so ill take the lower look and they lock and release perfect pic is just one mounted rt now

decided on a diff look,think we are gonna try the stock look lowered with 15x8 steels powder coated with stock caps 235 in the rear with a 215 in the front came out perfect,will wait and see once we hit the road

Looks great on stock wheels.
Keep up the good work.

[69 chevy 1]

more pictures tell me your honest opinion of the wheels lol

[69 chevy 1]

projects never stop,gonna wire up the engine computer harness next,the fire wall was shaved smooth so trying to keep all holes to a minimum

[69 chevy 1]

thanks mcmlxix for the kind words,gonna try and work on it next few months steady if i can

[mcmlxix]

I just went back and didint see any pics of the shifter you used, any more details?

I like the stock look, and wheels are easy to change. Once you get the truck set and driving around, you can always readdress the wheels if you want.

PS: the location of the Sunday car meet changed to Cheyenne and Jones... HERE

Small things going on with the Suburban slowly ordering parts and installing them,but its still going. Got the Burb all wired up for the most parts I was really surprised all the light,wipers,reverse lights, headlights, turn signals all work. Still need to get a digital dash,The Ls Radiator is on the way should have buy the end of the week
