Sticking with the original gold door panels, seat cover, headliner, etc. I looked back through some of the earlier posts and man it really looks better!

I think that will all look great together...the black dash pad is smart anyways IMHO with this being a driver...the lighter dash pads can cause glare...

CC69Rat · 06-20-2012, 06:49 PM

Thanks man.. Ill post pics of the carpet once we get it in. I will likey go with 'Sandalwood' for the door panels and seat cover. Classic Industries carries both in that color. While not listed as the GMC gold color. Its the closest thing I have found so far. At that point the int is probably going to be considered done. The wood bed is really close to ready to be installed, and the drop and brakes will be here soon.

Big steps today fellas .. $$

I ordered a McGaughy's front drop / disc conversion big brake kit, rear big brake kit (both drilled) and Hotchkis spring set.

... Wow, I can't wait!

**67cheby** · 06-24-2012, 07:27 PM

Nice !! I have to get some bigger brakes !

VA72C10 · 06-24-2012, 07:38 PM

cool!!!

CHYNSPR · 06-24-2012, 08:13 PM

How much drop are the Hotchkiss springs you ordered? I see they have a 4" drop front spring...curious how that would work

CC69Rat · 06-24-2012, 08:26 PM

I called Hotchkis about that very thing.. it is a 2" spring with a big block, 1.875" on my small block. So 2.5 on the spindles + a little less than 2 on the spring. I agree they are listed as a 4" spring on some websites (?)

Im building this gmc for a driver and something I could autocross too if I wanted. I really like a road feel and plan on beating on this truck occasionally.

Even with the column shift .. yes.

That makes more sense...looking forward to seeing this thing lowered, really nice job so far

Bennett68C10 · 06-25-2012, 08:06 AM

Nice set of parts you purchased Chad, Can't wait to see this truck dropped as well

original-71 · 06-25-2012, 04:20 PM

truck is looking good. not sure if you are set on wheels yet and i know you are on a budget check out these new ones from american racing called the Burnout, they also have the Blvd but couldnt save the image for some reason.

CC69Rat · 06-25-2012, 04:30 PM

no after putting the 22's i would have to bring it down again which would mean cutting and iam not crazy about that idea, so iam keeping them and going with a mild bag like member bigals beautiful truck. hopefully for christmas from me to me. whats your price range for wheels ? thats one subject i love to help out with.

shawno72 · 06-25-2012, 05:17 PM

Quit yet talking and start postin some more pics.

CC69Rat · 06-25-2012, 10:06 PM

Going up tomorrow to work on it.

My last day of vacation. I have been in FL for about 10 days.

I have to put brakes on my wife's RSX in the morning but around lunch I'm going to pull the seat out and put the new carpet and sill plates in it. I'll post up some more pics soon. I bought some polished stainless strips and bolts for the wood bed conversion (67Cheby, thank you my brotha!)

I need a seat cover, door panels, bed wood and fender well bolts and I'm finished making it purdy. By that time my drop stuff will be in hopefully. The bed is looking really good.

It might have to sit on jack stands for a week or so once I get the brakes on, etc. It will more than likely be either C57's or the polished Coys C5.

My big brake (modular) kit might move the track width around a little bit so once I get it all on and at ride hight I'm going to measure with the Wheelrite and just call and get them at that point. Honestly the budget is a bit tapped for a few weeks but yeah .. I could have gotten disk / drum .. but I just like the looks of the 4 wheel discs.

AND, .. they will get used, I promise.

I have some 20's just laying around too .. I might have to borrow those for a minute. (the offset is all wrong of course but it will get the truck on the ground if needed)

original-71 · 06-25-2012, 10:33 PM

if those are your choices IMO i vote the C57's

VA72C10 · 06-25-2012, 10:46 PM

Looking forward to seeing the interior complete!

CC69Rat · 06-26-2012, 06:34 AM

If the budget allows I might do the Centerlines I posted prior.. well see. I just have to park this truck outside and dont want to put 4k into wheels I cant keep up.. or drive daily.

Yeah, me too Jonathan. It already looks like a different truck. The drop and wheels will give it a whole new personality

Thanks all.

Anxiously waiting.....

CC69Rat · 06-26-2012, 08:59 PM

RSX - New binders = happy wifey

I have some bad news though. When I bough the truck it had about a 12x14" square galvanized plate that had been screwed onto the floor. I never really knew why so Dad and I took it off today to find out. You can't see any rust through from the bottom so we were expecting a little surface rust from the top maybe? The carpet had been removed too so maybe the jute padding kept it wet for a few years? Who knows ..

I found some HUGE rust problems. I think I'm gonna sell this cab.

**screaminchevypickup** · 06-26-2012, 09:02 PM

Fix it!!! Simple enough!!
Posted via Mobile Device

CC69Rat · 06-26-2012, 09:02 PM

just kiddin ..

Dad is going to cut a patch in the next few days, weld it in and we're ready to go. Dynamat is next on the list.

Just some floor pan shots overall, and the finished dash ( with the Jeff Beck 8 Track! )

CC69Rat · 06-26-2012, 09:07 PM

After it was scrubbed and cleaned good with Simple green and a brush.

Just messin around Screamin

CC69Rat · 06-26-2012, 09:10 PM

Accidentally posted one twice.. sorry.

New carpet, sill plates and door seals (prameter rubber) going in hopefully one day this week. We're expecting 102-105 degree heat in TN over the next few days + the humidity it is brutal to even be outside.
