The glass is in and the interior is pretty much complete. I took it back to the body shop yesterday to put the fenders and hood on it so the rest of the truck can be painted.

A pic of the Vintage Air installation. The hose going into the cowl next to the windshield still needs to be crimped and connected to the compressor.

Long Knight · 04-22-2003, 11:48 AM

dido about the seats!

72ChevyCheyenne · 04-22-2003, 12:28 PM

The hood came from a Busch race in Atlanta and the seat was in an El Camino that a friend of bought. The seat was way too big for the Camino.

DevinM · 04-23-2003, 08:14 PM

What kind of headers are those? How is the clearance?

72ChevyCheyenne · 04-23-2003, 11:01 PM

DevinM - They are Hedman Headers and they fit good.

theo70 · 04-24-2003, 09:10 PM

Very nice...is that a 3 stage candy you have on it?

Dads72 · 04-24-2003, 09:32 PM

Could you tell me more about the Vintage Air install. It looks like it was an AC cab to begin with. How does that work? How much factory stuff can you still use?
Thanks
Gonna be a sweet looking/running truck.

72chevyLWB · 04-24-2003, 09:36 PM

Is that Indigo Blue?

hobby67stepside · 04-24-2003, 10:57 PM

Another ?. That is a crate 502 isn't it? What color is the block painted from the factory?

72ChevyCheyenne · 04-24-2003, 10:57 PM

Dads72 - It was an AC cab to begin with. I bought the kit for the 67-72 with factory air and not the universal kit. It comes with everything but the vent balls on the sides and the dash controller.

72chevyLWB - Yes it is Indigo Blue Metallic. It is a base clear.

72ChevyCheyenne · 04-25-2003, 07:35 AM

hobby67stepside - It is a crate ZZ502 and the block comes in black.
