Be smart and buy ALL your body rubber from Steele Rubber Co. ~ it's good stuff and MADE IN AMERICA too so it'll last as well as fit correctly the first time out , unlike that Chinese crap .

shopking72 · 06-12-2012, 10:10 AM

Drove it to the Lake Afton car show on Sunday. Took my Honda Trail 70 out and rode around the show checking out cars

68GMCCustom · 06-12-2012, 02:20 PM

took my driveshaft in to be modified for my new transmission.

shawno72 · 06-12-2012, 06:22 PM

Bought a 350 from my father in law and started to replace every gasket in it before I remove the six and go with the eight.

Got the front mostly put back together. Waiting on the hood trim. Probably going to sand the GMC down all the way, fill the center full of the same color blue, and clear coat it. Saw a set of GMC lettering when I was at Classic Heartbeat last week picking up my fender patch, was tempted to get it, but this is only a temporary job until I move and will be stripping it all down.

midniteblues · 06-12-2012, 10:35 PM

yhea its a long stepper.I'm dying too get this fiberglass later style bed off my 67. So I'm sorry to tell you that my plans are too shorten it up unless another really cheap short stepper pops up.I really dont have any use for the really clean 292 either.

ItsRandy · 06-12-2012, 11:02 PM

Lookie what I got...

Delo69 · 06-12-2012, 11:05 PM

Well its been a while but I found a heater core and cover from a pull a part. Cleaned up the leaves and dirt and when I was able to get the cover off I found a bunch of southern cotton stuffed in my heater core cover thanks to some rodents.

Does this mean you're going to make it to the Brothers show?

mr48chev · 06-13-2012, 10:55 AM

I changed the pitman arm on the 71 yesterday and boy howdy what a difference getting that bit of slack out of the steering makes.

I've been slowly rebuilding the front end and steering one piece at a time as I get extra money to buy a few more parts.

I've found that if you look up the chassis parts on the O'Reilly's site and then put the Moog part number in the search on Ebay you can come up with some great deals on Moog Chassis parts.

They are just Boss 338's, 20x10 rear and 20x8.5 front...just like a lot of the other guys. I will be at the Brother's show but I don't think my truck will be done. If it is complete enough to drive, it won't have the wood in the bed and won't be color sanded or buffed. I doubt it will be done though, I still have interior to do which depends on others to complete (I can't control when it is finished).

Mike Bradbury · 06-14-2012, 01:53 AM

Glad you are going, a lot of guys would not go if their truck is not done. It will be good to catch up, bring pictures of the progress

UNEASYRIDER · 06-16-2012, 05:35 PM

Stitched my seat covers for my buddy buckets and received my sb 400 from the machine shop.

Clrussell · 06-16-2012, 08:29 PM

I'm building a wagon and got most of the bed roughed in. The chassis is done except for paint. Basically a 1/2 scale shortbed with full working suspension...

ItsRandy · 06-16-2012, 10:59 PM

I painted my hood and re-hung one of my fenders.

PAWS 72 · 06-16-2012, 11:10 PM

Took it to a car show I haven't been to before.check out the picts on Southern Wheels in Motion facebook page.

shopking72 · 06-17-2012, 02:40 PM

Put in a new gauge bezel and new LED lights in my gauges

Pont406 · 06-17-2012, 09:12 PM

Running new fuel lines. Need to relocate an ebrake cable bracket.

mud.man.rj · 06-17-2012, 09:45 PM
