[69chevytrucker]

ok guys lets see what custom touches you have done to your trucks that didnt come factory or thing you created to make your truck stand out so lets see those one off personal things we do

i am doing my grill took out fuel cap relocated fuel door to box

[AirSpeed]

I welded all the seams around my doors, I also smoothed the wrinkles out of the rear of the door where the latch is,



I also cast this shift lever for my transfer case


This is my simple speaker grill, a few aluminum spacers and a couple strips of aluminum, I need to anodize them still.

[69chevytrucker]

love it i like the smooth look too
the orange is a great color

[Andy4639]

Where do I start.

Built my own cold air box.



Frenched the front bumper with fog light LED parking lights and shaved bumper bolts.



Louvered the hood. Have electric washer with nozzels on the wiper arms along with delay.




Frenched the annteana into the cab. Had custom pin stripping added to the truck



Shaved the vent windows and put sport mirrors on it.



Detrimed it all and shaved the gas filler hole.



It has LED's in all the lights. Several more but these are the most seen.

Here are a few I did to the wife's Blazer..
Shaved and smoothed tailgate with a "one piece" upper molding, frenched in side markers, 1st generation Dodge Dakota gas filler door, smoothed top, shaved grill emblem, power window switches and stereo in the console.

Wow, beautiful job on the seams & wrinkles - subtle and very well done, I likey.

[jocko]

I like the subtle things, things that look like the "could have been" factory when done. The 60-66 trucks (yes, I realize this is the 67-72 forum) had no parking brake indicator. So, necessity is the mother of invention (used a spare brake lt switch on the pbrake handle and used a vacant med duty truck indicator in the dash). Have some similar plans for the 72, maybe - perhaps use one of the windows available in the fuel gauge...

EZ ac controls install that some people I have shown this to this its stock

[69chevytrucker]

im lovin all the cool ideas it is amazing what people can dream up

[69chevytrucker]

i have just mocked up putting aluminum checker plate where the first 6" of wood goes on my box to make it stronger and easier to replace the wood if it rots without having to separate the box from the cross sills

[KevsClassics]

Subtle changes

[track70]

made my own radio delete plate out of stainless and installed some gauges in it




Also made a mount to put my radio where my heater controls went!

[colgad]

So TRACK, what did you do with the heater controls?

[Hart_Rod]

Tail light fuel filler

[dirtyjim]

I machined a extension for my shifter, in the pic its fresh off the lathe but I've since rusted it to match the bottom part. I might still make another one a couple inches taller so I can knock the rearview mirror off and whack my girl upside the head when shifting gears

[Wizo]

say,…..um,……don't whack the girl friend upside the head. Ya might need her later. No I'm sayin? there no fun when there pissed off at ya.Besides she might " whack" you right back.

He mounted them in the left front headlight of course! He mounted the left front headlight in the tailgate latch and moved the latch to gas filler neck.
