Re: Beth's tribute truck.
I haven't managed to get a whole lot done lately. I did install the sound deadener, brake pedal, E-brake pedal and gas pedal. I got covid and the temperatures got too high to work out in the shop. So that knocked me out of it for a while, but hopefully I will be back at it now that the temperatures have cooled down. Sorry for the pictures that make the truck look like it's on it's nose.

Re: Beth's tribute truck.
Yeah, my mechanic buddy got the C-Flu too. He does not think he's up to helping me R&R the rear differential, trailing arms, Panhard Bar, shock mounts etc on my '68 C/10 Stepside. I got hit dead square on the righthand rear wheel at about 40 mph.
I made a friend with a local shop guy Downtown. He will do a pro job for a fair price on Tuesday.

Re: Beth's tribute truck.
Looks good Wes! I'm sure we will be seeing a few trophies in the future. And even though it's not a proven cure, but consuming beer helps stymy the effects of Rona flu. You just can't overdo it.

Re: Beth's tribute truck.
I started selling these Wilwood blackout brake booster, master cylinder kits for LS motors so I thought Tribute Truck would be a good Truck to try one for myself. Looks great and fits the build great.

Re: Beth's tribute truck.
Been getting a few things done on the Tribute truck. I installed the instrument cluster. Tilt column, cargo light switch, dome light and did a bit of wiring. Starting to look like a truck again. I designed new stickers too.

Re: Beth's tribute truck.
Little pictures on my phone. I didn't mean to post the cost of the last time I filled my truck.

Re: Beth's tribute truck.
Wes
My condolences on the loss of your wife. Words cant express the loss. Good work on the truck. If I am ever up in the Redding area with a few days off I may have to road trip up to Olympia and pay a visit. Please keep those updates coming. Brad

Re: Beth's tribute truck.
Been working a bit on the truck. My mom passed away and that's slowed my progress some. Preparing her funeral, headstone and cleaning up her house making sure family members that wanted something of her's to remember her by got something. I did manage to get some work done though. I also found a console for it and got the purple and black houndstooth for the bucket seats.

Re: Beth's tribute truck.
I took the seats, new foam and materials to Lonco upholstery and had them covered. I couldn't help but place them into the truck to see how it would look.

Re: Beth's tribute truck.
I am not sure why my pictures turn upside down when I post them.
