Re: 24 years later....here we go
got the seat frame all cleaned and painted and some springs repaired. Also got some batting at Hobby Lobby to put over the foams and got the new covers put on. Think it turned out really nice...

Re: 24 years later....here we go
It turned out pretty nice. The parchment vinyl matches the door panels perfectly. Im waiting on Coys to send my rear wheels, they said they would have them "in May". Im really close to finishing short of any unknown things that pop up. The Toyo's should be coming pretty quick...thanks for the comments

Re: 24 years later....here we go
picked up the bumpers and outer grill shell this morning. Also ordered the Toyo Proxes last night. I had put off ordering them because Im waiting on the rear wheels from Coys. Got the grill and front bumper on today. Just have to put the park light assemblies in and hang the rear bumper. Really getting close.

Re: 24 years later....here we go
I've become a fan of the Toyo Proxes myself. Really nice tire for the money, plus a good range of sizes.
You're wrapping this up just in time. Posted via Mobile Device

Re: 24 years later....here we go
Same tires I got on my blazer. Did you ask Coys to quote you on a set of tires? I bought my wheels and tires straight from Coys mounted and balanced and their price on the tires whooped the snot out of everybody else!
Btw- the truck is looking kick ass Posted via Mobile Device

Re: 24 years later....here we go
Just spent the last hour catching up on your build... Your truck really looks great, a lot of really good choices! Can't wait to see those wheels installed. Since we are so close would love to see it in person at some point.

Re: 24 years later....here we go
Thanks to everyone for the comments. Ive been doing little things too like door estucheons and the glove box light. Need to charge the AC pretty soon. I didnt check with Coys on tires but got a pretty good deal on em from Tirecrawler. Yeah Toxic we'll have to meet up. Im gonna try to have it at the Oct good guys at TMS

Re: 24 years later....here we go
I got the rear bumper on today. It took a few minutes because of the frame I had built for the fuel tank, but it worked out good. Went up to the courthouse and picked up the tags. I sure like the Texas black and white plates. To me they look like they are supposed to on this pickup.

Re: 24 years later....here we go
I've driven it a little bit Zoomin'. Im waiting to get the Coys and Toyos on and take it for an alignment and then for a dyno tune to verify that I have everything set right. Probably overkill on this little carbureted engine but it will give me peace of mind that the timing and everything is right. But yes, its on the road again....

Re: 24 years later....here we go
Those that follow my thread please say a prayer for our fellow board members and other residents of Oklahoma due to these terrible storms. These pickups seem so insignifigant when you see peoples lives lost and changed forever. So, God bless our friends, new and old, in Oklahoma....

Re: 24 years later....here we go
Nice looking job, It's almost identical to mine, that I have had done for 16 years.
One question, I notice the dryer for the a/c is still on the rad support. So did you go R12 or update to 134. If you updated does it work with that configuration? |

Re: 24 years later....here we go
It is a 134 system. It is Old Air, similar to Vintage Air. Im not an AC guy, just installed it as instructions showed. So yes the dryer is out front and it is 134
