1970 One Owner Short Step

I looked at the first page and the last and OMG you have done a great job!! Congrats!

The fuel filler turned out really well. So, is your wife's love evident in the fact you have 2 trucks, or because she's given you both spaces in the garage for them? Since its in the garage and not the shop, does that mean its done?

Haha both. I have the best wife ever. I have no need for two trucks but she has been patient enough for me to build both. And give up her space in the garage.

Seriously. I am one lucky guy. Here are a few pictures of the drivers door panel. Hopefully soon my seats will be done and installed.

[boynton]

I can't take much credit for these door panels. I just picked out the material and design. My upholstery guy did a great job executing my ideas. The last shot gets the door panel, rocker paint color, and door panel in one shot. The idea behind the carpet color is to blend with the paint color and disappear. I am trying to keep the main focus on the seats/door panels.

[mcbassin]

I really like the new door panels. Very cool!

[rgunlock]

Looks really sharp!

Hey Danny thanks for checking out the build. I got my fuel filler hose from a local shop that works on big equipment/hydraulics. they sold it by the foot, I think at about $10/15 per foot. The fuel door is off of a '04 Chevrolet 3/4 ton. Let me know if you have any other questions.

Hi

I haven't been able to update in a while because I have been way too busy. I survived this last month and now I am headed to California for a vacation. I took this picture at a Texas rest stop. We made it to amirillo and are eating at blue sky for lunch and then off to Cadillac ranch. Photos to come.

[boynton]

We made it to Cadillac ranch at about one, met some cool people and took some cool pictures. I met a guy that was traveling from California to Florida. It made my trip seem short.

[boynton]

Sorry I don't know how to rotate the pictures on my new phone

[Ol Blue K20]

Keep the pics coming, it looks like a fun trip. Where in Cali you heading for?

[empi1776]

I do the trip one a year with my daughter, we drive out to the Pomona swapmeet. Meet a lot of great people on our trip. Enjoy the trip. As for long we drove to Fairbanks Alaska two years ago. That was long. Dallas to Fairbanks and back. Have fun.

Really nice trucks too.

Will do. We are headed to San Francisco and Yosemite. We should be in San Francisco in a day or two. Do you have any recommendations to spend a day in the area? I was thinking about going to one of the beaches but don't know which one to go to?

That's awesome. The wife and I try to do a little trip every year. She has several friends between Texas and California so we decided to go big this year. I can't imagine driving to Alaska!

[boynton]

We made it to Albuquerque and ate some good Mexican food. My wife's friend who lives here, lives not far from the friends dad...who owns a one owner 67 chevelle! Guess what we did after dinner?? It has 445xx miles on it and 95% original paint. It is a four door but still a really cool car.
