I like the vid.

When was the last time you drove it? (or have you lately)?

After welding in all my patch panels, I drive mine all the time. I can't get enough.

Well guys today I worked on my glovebox, I didnt want to replace it with another cardboard one, so I made my own. I used aluminum to make it, I just pulled all of the staples out of my old cardboard one and used it for a template. It's held together by rivets. I test fitted it and it fit perfectly. Tell me what you guys think about it.

In Primer.. . .

In Paint. . . . .

VA72C10 · 05-24-2010, 01:36 AM

looks good. have you test fit it? I know the cardboard ones are hard to get in/out....

mcbassin · 05-24-2010, 08:36 PM

That is a great idea!

I always hated my sagging cardboard box

jojo · 05-24-2010, 10:41 PM

good Idea on the glove box!

mas09ts · 05-24-2010, 10:41 PM

Yeah guys the glovebox fit great and its really sturdy. It was also flexible enough to get it to go in easy. I also made a gauge cluster by combining a 67 cluster and a 70. I just got rid of the center of the 67, because all I really needed was a speedometer and a fuel gauge since I have a 3 gauge pod on the bottom of the dash. I also fixed my radio delete cover, I lost the clips so i just cut a piece of metal and put it on the backside of the dash and just clamped them together with bolts with wing nuts. Heres some pictures of everything.

The new glovebox. . . .

My gauge cluster. . . .

My radio delete. . . .

Oh yeah new Radiator. .. . .

Woo-Hoo and thats it for now hahaha. . . . .

mas09ts · 05-26-2010, 01:16 AM

I put the seat back in this evening, now the truck's back in the driveway. Now just to finish a few spots for paint, then finish exhaust. . . . then "should" be done haha

VA72C10 · 05-26-2010, 09:11 AM

Now Just to get it painted. . .

VA72C10 · 06-29-2010, 01:01 AM

Looking good. Have you set a paint date? Or are you going to just primer that fender the same as the rest until the final paint?

It should get painted soon, i have everything to do it primer, and paint and such, so that fender will probably be like that until its painted. I just need to go and talk to the guy who's going to paint it and see when he'll be able to take it.

mas09ts · 10-07-2010, 07:55 PM

Hey guys I still livin haha, hadn't realized it had been so long since i posted last. Well I've mad some progress on it though. I frenched my side markers, primed the whole truck by myself got tired of waiting so i went out and bount me a spray gun and sprayed it myself. Looks pretty good if I may say so myself haha. Im still trying to decide if I'm gonna paint it though. I just have to go back and fix a few small spots before paint. Still trying to find a bumper and a gmc tailgate local. I It's getting closer to being "done" Here's some pictures for ya guys. . . . .
