I thought so. One thing about the plates, they are blue, like car plates, whereas trucks usually have black plates here in Ontario. Plus with having 3 characters, space and 3 more, it looks like regular plates as that is how they used to be made until they ran out of combinations.

Even with the plates and frames, people will still ask the year and what engine it has. Some look at the engine, look at the badge on the side of the truck to confirm that it is a 396.

Door panels are in. Door and window handles in/on. Arm rests are on. I know the dash doesn't go in this spot. I fished the dome light wire in thru the roof...new dome light. Boy, I hate the plastic crap. Any body find/know where to get a classy one?

I've got some orange peel inside the cab. But, I did it myself. I'm no pro. Just an owner/driver/gearhead.

Door panels are set up to match the new seat.

bigdogboxers · 08-05-2011, 05:09 PM

2 teenage boys with cars no more room so 1 of my 2 trucks must go decided to keep the 1962 gmc short bed. and sell the 1970 with 68 nose k10 4x4 and keep the motor for the 62... not having the room sucks.

I HATE when you have to make "Priority Adult Decisions" like that.

cause Daddy's Toys are stayin put.

*stich626* · 08-05-2011, 08:06 PM

dreamed it was done and installed the new plates..

JayDubBlazer · 08-05-2011, 10:21 PM

put K5 emblems on the side so people will stop calling it a bronco. At least they could call it a scout.

LOL. I had a 78 Scout II and sure wish I still had it.

Would rather have a Blazer but it was a fun rig.

RossRinSD · 08-05-2011, 11:49 PM

Got my beat up old bumper off

And, trying to figure out how to put gas in the 'soon to be installed' blazer tank.

**americanmusc1e** · 08-06-2011, 12:10 PM

booty-fabbed a backing plate with studs and a pushrod guideplate for my clutch master..... for the hydraulic clutch SM465 swap.....

belowme51 · 08-06-2011, 12:57 PM

finished installing and adjusting my Accuair E-level sensors.

sjarrett71 · 08-06-2011, 01:44 PM

Installed my new hood. Kinda diggin the color!

ItsRandy · 08-06-2011, 09:33 PM

I installed my new Wilwood 2 piston front calipers. Repacked the front wheel bearings and installed new grease seals.

chevytruckluver · 08-06-2011, 10:16 PM

finished cleaning the bottom of the cab and sprayed on Raptor liner

fast50ranger · 08-06-2011, 10:17 PM

Took the tonneau cover off of my 09 Sierra and put on my 67. Fits good. Post pics later. Oh yeah I cut and buffed the paint yesterday. Made a heck of a difference. First time running a rotary buffer. Pics to follow

dukcaln · 08-06-2011, 10:35 PM

O crap....let the wife drive it for the first time......

RossRinSD · 08-06-2011, 11:12 PM

I got some new bumper mounts made up.

New brackets on top of the old one. You can see the difference in thickness.

And, the bumper all cut out. Lots of grinding and welding tomorrow.

Well, that sucks. What happened? Whats the word from the adjuster.

solar649 · 08-06-2011, 11:26 PM

looked over a few small wiring issues. Truck was converted frm eternal regulator to one wire. So had some extra wires and regulator in the truck.

installed a relay to cut power to electric fan when the truck is turned off. before this the fan would still run after the truck ignition was off. This was till the temp got below 150 degrees. No the fan is controlled by ingnition realy and adjustable fan temp control.

additonally I installed a new fuel filter. took out the little clear filter and installed a fram 1/2 quart filter under the cab on he frame rail.

6772owner · 08-07-2011, 10:07 AM

I did it a few days back, but I installed my new Viair 380C to replace my blown up 100C I had been babying since last year. I had to relocate everything because of the sheer size of the new compressor vs. the old one. The compressor is now on the drivers side framerail behind the cab and the airtank is under the cab.

Here are some pics.

How does the new set up work? compared to the old one

6772owner · 08-07-2011, 10:50 AM

Oh its a hundred fold better compressor, 100% duty cycle and 200 psi makes a huge difference... I just wish I had a bigger tank now, more reserve would be great. Overall I love it though, much faster and I don't have to worry about the 15% duty cycle anymore.
