Here are some shots of the engine bay and the inside. I am still waiting for the seats to come back from the upholsterer. Meanwhile i put in some sound deadner before i put the carpet in. Right now i am working on the wiring. It won't be too much longer!!!

That truck is super sharp. I really like the wheels they look really good on this body style of chevy. Keep pics coming as you finish the interior.

I'm still wiping the drool off the keyboard from when you posted the pics of the truck the other day, why did you have to go and post more?

Damn that's sweet!

silvertonguedevil · 01-03-2005, 11:28 PM

That's a *****in' truck man!! Since I used to work at a tire store, I couldn't help but notice that you're right rear tire is backwards.

CHEVYE · 01-03-2005, 11:29 PM

did you install that high hump or was it factory?

kevin from oc · 01-03-2005, 11:36 PM

The hump was in the cab when i got it. The tire is backwards? the tread patern??

kingsolver72 · 01-03-2005, 11:39 PM

I am always amazed at the attention to detail people pay.Nothing goes unnoticed here.Silvertongue,when I read your post,I thought bull sh!t.Then I looked at the right hand profile shot again and realized you are correct.

silvertonguedevil · 01-03-2005, 11:40 PM

Yeah, they're directional tires. If you look, notice how the right front one points forward.....the rear one points backwards. Not that it takes anything away from that beautiful truck. It just may not handle exactly as designed.
