that color is sweet. looks awesome.

I love how you kept the longbed. I like shortbeds also, just seems like so many people are cutting up longbeds to convert, before to long us longbed guys are gonna me few and far between.

*Puropedo* · 01-31-2010, 04:23 PM

David, those mouldings are going make your ride look even better! I give you props for using them, cant wait to see them on your truck.

Looking good! U resolve the tilt issue w/o the slappage?

Slick67 · 12-20-2009, 11:13 PM

HAHHAAHa I think I did get it resolved. The guy I got it from said he would make it right regardless. Here is the twist.......the man that will be doing the conversion from van to truck column will not be available for a while cause his son had broken down on the side of the road and someone drove by and shot him in the spine and now he is paralyzed. It may be another month before he is back to work. Said a prayer for him already!

*Puropedo* · 12-21-2009, 02:35 AM

Looking good bro, I like the vette scoop idea, something a little different!..

Thanks! A little throwback to the classic Chevy's. Hope it looks good when I pop the hood at shows.

Got a few things done today, got a couple of pics to prove it! Will take some pics of the other things accomplished tomorrow. Hope to get the compressors installed and all the lenses on the lights this weekend. Might be able to start cutting the hole in the bed for the gas filler neck.
Got my turn signal light buckets painted.

Looking good! Now I gotta get back on mine and take some pictures....

**kev2809** · 01-01-2010, 01:13 AM

that looks nice man. how did you mount the tank? straight to the frame or with a bracket?

Slick67 · 01-01-2010, 04:42 AM

A bracket. I cut a peice of steel the width of the frame and bolted it directly to the frame, I'll get some pics for ya. It's about 4 X 35, it worked perfectly. Seemed a little to flimsy at first till it was bolted on and the tank was bolted to it that really made it rigid.

my67chevytruck · 01-01-2010, 08:18 PM

looking good bro!

Slick67 · 01-02-2010, 08:56 PM

Thanks Kev and Heath! Here is today's pics. Got a couple of pics of my air tank bracket for you Kev. I got the compressors hung on the frame. Also installed the AC vent and ball. The biggest part of my day was taking the DS rear bag out, removing the c-notch, cutting a little more of my frame to clear the c-notch better then reinstalling everthing. Sounds simple, but that meant taking the bed off again also. One side of my bed was a little lower which made my passenger side tire tuck more than the drivers side and the c-notch was the problem, thats all I really got accomplished today. 3 and half hours just to do that. S%#t.

Hey, it's those details that make it right. Good job not leaving it that way. How did you mount the compressors? I am planning to mount them similarly but looking for a clean mounting idea other than the brackets they sell....

**kev2809** · 01-02-2010, 09:46 PM

looks good man! what tank is that?

I think it is a Suicide Doors from about 3 years ago, but not sure.

*Puropedo* · 01-03-2010, 04:25 PM

Coming out sweet!...It has probably been said before, but that orange paint job looks killer...

**kev2809** · 01-03-2010, 05:37 PM

oops..I meant the gas tank!

VA72C10 · 01-03-2010, 06:17 PM

did I miss the comp mounting somewhere else before or did you just do those?

It's a Summit 16 gallon gas tank, they run about $160 with the sending unit. I have the part number for it a few pages back in my thread.

Just posted those pics, I installed them yesterday. So you didn't miss out on anything. I may be doing the wiring on them next weekend along with cutting the hole in my bed for the gas filler neck, so more pics then!

VA72C10 · 01-03-2010, 09:29 PM

they look good...so how did you mount them? Did you just move the VIAR supplied brackets to the side or make brackets?

Yep, just moved them to the side. I understand they work longer and better if they are mounted upright. I mounted them there so they can be seen through the rims, just a little. IMO that is what makes people look twice, when they see something out of the ordinary kinda hidden.

VA72C10 · 01-03-2010, 09:34 PM

Could you take pictures from behind once you get the bed back on and the bumper on? I really like the summit tank and price but don't want it hanging too low....

Posolutely, Absotively. Should be putting the bed back on in a week or two and can then install the rear scraper.....ummm I mean bumper. It is about 4 1/2 to 5 inches off the ground when airred out and the bed on. But hey.......that's plenty of room when it's just sittin at a show!

0331grunt · 01-05-2010, 04:37 PM

Man, this thing is looking super clean! Love what you are doing and the custom touches make it better! Like the breather idea... Keep it up!
