Re: Project: 1972 K30 Crew Cab Duramax
I really like your gauge cluster. It's probably the closest thing to a stock appearing one I've seen yet.

Re: Project: 1972 K30 Crew Cab Duramax
Thanks guys, they weren't cheap I know that, but I wanted the truck to still have the nostalgic look and feel when I got behind the wheel.

Re: Project: 1972 K30 Crew Cab Duramax
Wow, everything is coming together just great. The truck is definitely gonna be a head turner. What did you use to dye the hub dials blue? I have a set of original faded yellow (almost white) spicer hubs on my Dana 60. I guess I could send out the metal outer parts and have them rechromed, I know yours were very nice when you bought them. Do you ever get anxious to finish the truck, or do you just take it one day at a time when you’re working on it? It really looks great. Kurt

Re: Project: 1972 K30 Crew Cab Duramax
I used to get anxious on finishing it, but after the surgery I just take it a day at a time and not stress over it. I still enjoy working on it, but will still redo items if I don’t like how it looks.
As far as the hubs go, I just clean my knobs and sprayed adhesion promoter and sprayed Krylon Fusion paint and cleared the knobs. I had my chrome hubs rechromed to look that nice.

Re: Project: 1972 K30 Crew Cab Duramax
Trevor, forgive my ignorance, but what is the difference between a Cheyenne roof, and any other ‘67-‘72 roof? Is the inner roof skin different somehow? I was reading back through the thread and saw you mentioning something about Cheyenne roofs? Thanks.

Re: Project: 1972 K30 Crew Cab Duramax
Originally I was going to run 2 separate headliners, so I chose 2 cheyenne roof skins. They had the holes punch for the headliner trim already that the Cheyenne/CST/ Cheyenne Supers had. I eventually wound up switching to one big headliner instead, as the headliners didn’t quite fall where I thought they would. Trevor

You have built great strength in your roof. Great Job. The one Headliner plan sounds good. I hope to start my build soon. Dwayne

Re: Project: 1972 K30 Crew Cab Duramax
I'm a big fan of the square bodies but I got a little bummed when you got sidetracked, ha. Read your thread start to finish and am very impressed with the work. Congratulations on the wedding and the remodeled house looks great. I bet the previous owners would move back in if they could see it. Glad you got your heart fixed up too! I look forward to following this truck to completion. Did you do a thread on your square CC?

Re: Project: 1972 K30 Crew Cab Duramax
Thanks LT7A, yeah the surgery really stopped my movement on the truck and then life happened with getting married. It will get done though, still have a couple big pieces left to puzzle to buy. The square body just needs a paint job and I'll have it on the road. I finally picked my color for it, and I will probably paint it early fall this year.

Re: Project: 1972 K30 Crew Cab Duramax
Happy New Year’s guys! Getter-Done, the hood is off of my 71’ swb, I didn’t want it to get banged up sitting around, so I put it on this truck for now.
Spent my New Year’s Day still working on my inner roof. Slow going as it is so hard to keep it in shape. You have to keep test fitting the outer to make sure the shape isn’t out of whack. I am 1/2 done with the inner. Now I need to jump to the other side and flatten out some spots. I am happy with the slight crown to the roof, which is what I was after. If you stare at a regular cab, or cut off as many roofs as I did, you will notice the slight dome shape. Most I have seen are flat, and I think it causes some low spots in the transition.

Realizing I haven’t ever showed pics of the pillar mostly done except final cuts and welds on rocker panels.

Re: Project: 1972 K30 Crew Cab Duramax
Had a little bit of a free time on Sunday, worked on getting the 3rd door Rocker almost finished, and finished welding the front driver's floor pan in.

Re: Project: 1972 K30 Crew Cab Duramax
The trim looks nice and straight. I saw on IG that you're buying new from Mar-K. I've never gotten theirs but am really curious as to how it feels in your hand compared to the LMC and other crap.

Re: Project: 1972 K30 Crew Cab Duramax
Decent weather for a garage sweep. Pushed this hunk of metal outside for the first time since last July. Test fit a 285/75/16 tire I had laying around. I like the stance with that size without losing the benefits of this truck.

Re: Project: 1972 K30 Crew Cab Duramax
The 285 looks very nice on there. One other nice thing about it is, I doubt they ever quit making that size for a very long time.

Re: Project: 1972 K30 Crew Cab Duramax
Got my v43 mounted and straightened up. Also, bought a Class V tow hitch by B&W Hitches made for a square body long bed and also made for a Drop bumper. Had to trim the bumper brackets just a hair.
