Re: lets see your trick mods and custom touches!!
I have a ton of em, but the truck is in a million pieces right now, so very few have any pics. Here's my instrument cluster, that's done for sure.
And my engine, It doesn't look quite like it used to.

Re: lets see your trick mods and custom touches!!
New seat ,carpet and stereo.It has 3 1/2 in the ac vents{got the idea here]
6 1/2 in the doors and 2 10 in kickers under the seat with a kicker amp.Had to build my own boxes to do this.They are not pretty but they sound good. It has blue led lights in the vent spks.and 2 blue led lights under the seat. Just need to hide a few more wires.

Re: lets see your trick mods and custom touches!!
Not super elaborate, but here are a few of mine.
Dash - Stock speedo, Gas gauage from a LaSabre, Tach, and VDO Guages across the bottom. I need to finish the paint on the bezel Filled in all the holes I don't need on the firewall. Eventually It'll have aftermarket AC/heat. Also used serpentine belt setup from 94 C1500. Stock filler neck filled in and tank relocated to rear. Using an 88-98 style filler door for the stock 72 Blazer tank. I figure it will look a whole lt better once paint is on and everything is put back together.

Re: lets see your trick mods and custom touches!!

Re: lets see your trick mods and custom touches!!
Thanks Lo - I was thinking about doing just that. When I mocked them up, I was running my 18's and bags were flat, it looked killer with the hood up or down. These inputs help, thanks for the photo-shop. Don't want to it to look like a toy or anything.

Re: lets see your trick mods and custom touches!!
This may not amount to much in the way of mods, but it will get comments and is easy and relatively cheap. I have a small stash of stainless steel bolts, washers, nuts etc. in the shop, and any time I take out a highly visible bolt like in the eng compartment, I put back a polished SS piece.
This polishing can be done in an electric drill mounted in a vise, but a drill press is easier. Just chuck up the bolt, use a file to cut the logo/markings on the head, then go to a course grit sand paper, med., fine, then use your favorite metal polish for the mirror finish. The only caveat here is, if you're using a SS nut on a SS bolt, you must use never-sieze or the threads are likely to gall.

Re: lets see your trick mods and custom touches!!
Paaw, the trans is a TH350 that was rebuilt 1000 miles before I bought it. It has a stage 2 shift kit in it, and the stock stall converter.
Slomotion, I did the same thing with all my hardware, and in my opinion it is a very worthwhile mod.

Here's mine. It's about the only thing on my truck that is custom.

Re: lets see your trick mods and custom touches!!
Kinda low-tech and easy. I mounted 2 pairs of Pilot brand fog & driving lights (one pair clear, one amber) in my bumper marker light holes. Yes, its on a 4x4 but I think it would look good a lowered rig too.

Re: lets see your trick mods and custom touches!!
HERE'S ONE OF THE THINGS I DID. WELDED IN A ROLL PAN, FAB'D A LICENSE PLATE BOX, AND THEN WELDED IT IN AS SLANTED AS I COULD POSSIBLY GET IT SLANTED. JUST ENOUGH TO CATCH SOMEBODY'S EYE I HOPE. ONCE I GET A 1967 LICENSE PLATE FRAME, AND MY VANITY PLATE FOR IT THIS SUMMER SOMETIME, IT WILL ALL COME TOGETHER. (LOVED THE HANK WILLIAMS JR. BUMPER STICKER ON THE PREVIOUS POST, AWESOME!! )
