Looking good Chuck. Coming right along.

Thanks Trai.

I got some mirror arms in and I don't remember them being this short. I had planned to move them forward after shortening the arms but I think I'll just leave them as is.

Years ago I ordered some stainless ones for a 69 GMC I had and they were long imo. They were also useless as the mirror head shook so much going down the road you couldn't see anything out of them. So I hope these are better.


I also got some 68 jack hardware out of a truck but I'm clueless as to what each pieces function is so I'll post a thread on it.

I think its for your seat slider so you can pull the lever to move the seat forward or back and it unlatches from the other side.

um k. here is the thread I posted in the message board if any of you need the question answered yourself..

nice hub caps!!! How did you get the dents out? Hammer and dolly?

[thelonerife]

I actually used a plastic handle form a jar opener that fit in the gaps perfectly. I tapped gently until they came right out.

I got my wheels sanded and painted. Now to get the truck up on jack stands and take the ralleys to get the rubbers off and on my white rims.

Where did you get your wheels?

I got the 2 6'' at pull a part and the 8'' from a board member here. I bought four of 8'' and decided to do 6'' on the front. Sold the two other 8'' and tried to sell these but nobody would send the $. So I decided to use them and sell the rallies. I'm going to run my GMC hubcaps I got from Tim. I'm going for a plain jane look. I may paint my grille that I have for mockup and run it with chrome bezels and bumper. I have to see what that will look like first though. I think most trucks that were plain had white bumpers and grilles and bezels too.

Got the rubber on. Cost 80 something dollars at Wally world Whew! I like the way they turned out though. Thats all that matters I guess.

[VA72C10]

[67cheby]

If you would have told me 10 yrs ago that you were going to run stock steel wheels and hubcaps i would have laughed.......my how time change...looks killer

I just sent payment to a board member for a Power steering pump and brackets for my big block. So I have almost all of that bb stuff. When I rebuild the 454 I'll buy an aftermarket intake and carb. The way gas prices are I may stick with my 350 though for now.

[thelonerife]

I got the big block PS pump and brackets in the mail yesterday. The seller included a new pump with it that will need a canister pressed onto it. The pulley on the pump w/ the canister was bent pretty good. I figure the usps people dropped it. I'll find another one when I get the motor rebuilt and need one.
