Was this thread about a truck? I forgot.

I just can't get into the new Camaro. It's still kinda funky looking to me. I guess I will just stick to my old man car. It can't be fast since it's a Cadillac, right?

Yeah Dennis they're out. There are about 5 of them here in town. Quickly finding out who has money around here.

OK guys you are going to be proud of me.

I HAVE PICTURES!!!!!

My uncle called this morning, and needed my truck out of his shop. He is going to be wiring up a 53 Chevy truck for a guy, and needed mine out of the way. Which was fine because all the stuff I have left to do I can do at my house no problem. We mainly took it out to his because of more space, and he has a lot more knowledge than I do. So since I got it home I figured I would take some pics with the new camera. So here we go. I know some of you may be disappointed that I don't have as much done as you had hoped. For those that think that way you are more than welcome to come over and help. j/k Anyway on to the pics.

Here are a few of the engine sitting in it's new home.

Here are a couple of others that I snapped.

This one is of the core support. I hope it shows up well. I was trying to show you guys the texture of the paint that I used.



This is the current condition of the interior. It started snowballing. I took the gauges out so that we could clean up some of the wiring, and one thing led to another, and the whole dash ended up coming apart.



This is the new wiper switch that I am going to place under the headlight switch. I am planning on just putting billet knobs on the headlight, and the wiper switch. I decided to change out the column to an earlier one to clean it up a bit. I think it will look so much better without the cruise/wiper/dimmer switch on the column.

Here are a few of the parts that I have yet to get installed. I am going with a set of the billet wire looms. My uncle put a set on his 85, and they look really clean. Then I have the Edelbrock brackets for the fuel line, and cables. Also in this pic is the valve cover breather. I also have the PCV one to match.



This is how the bed of the truck looks now. I really need to have a shop!
