Seam sealed and painted the bottom of my cab with duplicolor bed liner

Thanks, my 70 CST engine was orange and this one I wanted something different. I feel that for sound deadening every little bit helps.

elf w/capital T · 07-15-2012, 04:51 PM

Gave my truck a new face...so to speak. Yes, I know the bumper is for a GMC. A friend of mine gave me two brand new bumpers, one front and one rear. The front one happened to be for a GMC. I wanted to see how a new bumper would look with the new front grill.
Drove it around a little (open headers), did a little burn-out...it was GREAT!

Ds86C10 · 07-16-2012, 12:56 AM

drove my '70 for about 4 hours straight to pick up a 250cc scooter for my ungrateful sister and added a quart of oil to it to keep her happy running down the highway at 65mph

69vetteside · 07-16-2012, 03:01 AM

Ordered some chassis and suspension parts from CPP and NO LIMIT ENGINEERING.
NOW the wait

in deep 72 · 07-16-2012, 08:47 AM

Pulled an all nighter finishing up some loose ends....I ran out of steam half way through the doors. Here's a rough shot......

RexDodge · 07-16-2012, 10:46 AM

Adjusted the valves, installed the valve covers, installed the oil pressure safety switch...nearly time to start this bad boy up! Just need to replace a couple of splices I am not comfortable with and vroom, vroom!

Fixed the high speed fan relay for my a/c! Installed sound deadener and carpet,almost ready to head out for texas saturday!!

BurnoutNova · 07-16-2012, 03:36 PM

All I managed to do was look at my truck. Some parts showed up from Classic Industries but all I did was look at em

magwakeenercew2jh · 07-16-2012, 07:24 PM

Here are a few different angle shots of testing and freeze plug failure.... and what it could look like for you if you don't change them when the motor is out....I won't put up a "before" picture. The motor was in there snug as a bug in a rug. At least until until the pi$$%ng contest started at the first start-up and freeze plug puke.

That's Butch doing most of the good work.

**nlped** · 07-16-2012, 07:51 PM

I ordered me a Painless 18 fuse wiring harness from Streetside Auto, and perchs, a "deluxe" track bar & brackets from CPP (the latter is to adapt my 12 Bolt from my '76 Blazer that is nicely modified) for my '70 GMC today. I'm excited to finally start getting this show on the road

oklalawnboy · 07-16-2012, 09:46 PM

I checked on the progress of rust removel/repair on the inner roof panel. I have to say it is looking good. Maybe next time I'll remember to take my camera.......

OSM 70 C20 · 07-16-2012, 10:37 PM

When you do, let ME know!

in deep 72 · 07-17-2012, 10:17 AM

Think I'd just torch off the hinge so you can get at the bolts behind the fender, then replace the hinges and door with different ones. Least you can get it off to see if the door is salvagable that way

OJ1988 · 07-17-2012, 09:06 AM

Just got to finish the tips.

in deep 72 · 07-17-2012, 10:30 AM

It's exhaust tubing for now, just wanted to try it out, will go with DOM if I like it. Turning out to be a major undertaking though.
