Want to buy this one?

Camaroguy · 07-27-2020, 08:48 PM

Things just got exciting.

Camaroguy · 07-27-2020, 11:10 PM

I couldn’t wait until this weekend and got started on it.

**KevinK7** · 07-27-2020, 11:19 PM

looks like Mar-K came through. Trim looks great on the truck

Wow!!

Wow!!

Yes sir, a few weeks earlier than expected. I can’t wait to see it all on there. Kicking around the idea of painting the black stripe in the trim red as well. Once it’s all on there, I’m going to do it with red tape and make the decision then.

**MDPotter** · 07-28-2020, 09:12 AM

Very nice finishing touch. The red would go well with the tailgate letters!

**1971Stepside** · 07-28-2020, 09:51 AM

Trim looks great! Paint that black stripe red...it will look sharp!

Camaroguy · 07-28-2020, 11:00 PM

Killer lighting makes for a pretty decent looking truck.

**MDPotter** · 07-29-2020, 09:22 AM

Yep, that is one great-looking truck you guys built.

Camaroguy · 08-01-2020, 07:49 PM

I need opinions. Black stripe or red....

**KevinK7** · 08-01-2020, 08:51 PM

I'm gonna vote for red, ...especially with the tailgate "Chevrolet" in red (which I think looks killer on the truck

**SIXTY9** · 08-02-2020, 11:54 AM

Red to be different. Truck looks great and all of you did a great job.Something to be proud of.

cornerstone · 08-03-2020, 12:58 AM

Make it a one of a kind... red!

**1971Stepside** · 08-03-2020, 09:08 AM

Red for sure

Camaroguy · 08-07-2020, 04:10 PM

We did the stripe in red. The boy loves it. I’m not convinced. I actually think it toned the truck down and made it pop less. It looks better in person than it does in the pics though.

Camaroguy · 08-09-2020, 12:24 PM

Sunday morning.

**KevinK7** · 08-09-2020, 10:24 PM

First off, that truck looks amazing. Regarding the red trim....as subtle as it may seem, the red 'pops' even with the hint of red from the calipers

Thanks. My son did an Instagram poll today and the red was winning like 40-8. I guess I’m going to lose this one. 😂

**MDPotter** · 08-10-2020, 11:14 AM

The trim on my 68 was red from the factory and it was a blue truck, so I don't think it's out of line.

Every time I look at your truck I get the itch to buy new wheels and tires.

If I had my 5-lug conversion done and was a little closer, I would be very tempted.

What are you wanting to replace them with?

Camaroguy · 08-26-2020, 11:13 AM

Brief update: My son has been putting the miles on his truck with no major issues to speak of. I relocated the fuel pump closer to the tank and lower a few weeks ago due to it being noisy. Also, last week it started idling funny and it threw a code. I replaced the Mass Air Flow which seems to have resolved that issue. All-in-all, things are good and the truck is performing as expected.
