Eye candy for the factory stock guys! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Thanks guys! The truck is originally a swb CST with 396, TH400 and bucket seats (and SPID to prove it). I added the speed warning and was going to add cruise. I pulled a complete cruise set-up off a 1970. I marked and measured everything to add onto this truck, drilling holes for servo and hose clamps. I had the servo mounted on firewall and as I was bolting parts to the motor I had a blond moment! Duh, the cruise came out of a small block truck and the distributor caps hits the servo in a BB truck! Notice the engage button still on the turn signal. I'll figure that one out later.
As for Zoomin's reference to the "71" bed : I bought a 1971 truck that had a near perfect bed just to use on this '69. I put another bed on the 71 and Zoomin bought it!
JB1016 - the 72 BB Super is tucked away in my in-laws garage awaiting restoration. When I financially recover from the '69 I'll start on it - it will be a while!!!
