Truck is looking great Pete.

**davischevy** · 03-22-2015, 05:41 PM

Pete I love that truck.

Now, where did you find the steelies?

Thanks,
Larry

**DeadheadNM** · 03-22-2015, 08:41 PM

Thanks guys! I'm hoping to remove the top soon and will post pics when I do. The added leafs were a good way to go in terms of ride and cost. It's tight still, no appreciable change in quality. Hoping the rear doesn't rise 6" once the top is off and the aux tanks are tapped out

I just swapped the "deluxe" marker lenses shown for a NOS set of the correct "non-deluxe" maker lamps.

Larry - those steelies came from a member here. I purchased them through the parts board. I made a mistake by sealing the seams with clear silicone hoping to keep crud and water out after they were powder coated. The silicone got dirty real quick and sticks out like a sore thumb. Doh!

Still contemplating a highlander conversion. Here's an example interior from a GMC HL in green:

**undertaker72** · 03-22-2015, 09:07 PM

**DeadheadNM** · 03-22-2015, 09:10 PM

Kevin sending PM...

**Dieselwrencher** · 03-23-2015, 02:28 PM

It sure looks nice! A guy would assume it's a K20 now too!

**HeloCrewChief** · 04-29-2015, 11:18 AM

Truck is looking great! Hope to find one like it now that I sold my wagon.

Thanks! Those are your old 15x8 steelies on the truck BTW. Send PM regarding a local K20 super for sale...

**jocko** · 10-09-2015, 06:58 PM

National Enquirer called, they want to know whatever became of that highlander plan!?

**DeadheadNM** · 10-09-2015, 07:07 PM

LOL! Well, if it wasn't for work it would be done. Here's a sneak peak...

**Dieselwrencher** · 10-09-2015, 09:06 PM

That looks really nice Pete!

**undertaker72** · 10-09-2015, 09:14 PM

that is very nice pete , that seat is great

msgross · 10-09-2015, 09:24 PM

nice truck

**DeadheadNM** · 10-10-2015, 09:41 AM

Thanks for the good words guys! I'll get some more pics up as soon.

I had the area of rust on the floor board that involved the inner rockers and a small portion of the LH lower kick panel repaired with panel bond. I'm told that is strong stuff that should last and since there is no other rust and the outer rockers are solid it seemed like a good way to go for now.

mx289 · 10-11-2015, 12:33 PM

The interior looks great Pete.

redbaron · 10-11-2015, 12:42 PM

That looks fantastic Pete. I've been away from the build board for way to long.

der Henning · 10-11-2015, 12:43 PM

A very nice truck!
Thank you for posting so many pictures.

bronze 72 super · 03-12-2016, 01:46 PM

I know this is a old thread, but what did you do with the canopy off of the Montana G.M.C.?

**DeadheadNM** · 03-12-2016, 03:14 PM

Still in use on the GMC! Haven't removed it yet.

CG · 08-07-2016, 10:51 PM
