clemson71guy · 10-27-2007, 04:14 PM

**Shock_Me** · 10-27-2007, 05:20 PM

Wow! Nice job on the paint Clemson71. Did you paint it yourself? It looks great. Now hurry up and get it finished! (but don't scratch the paint).

Pete

clemson71guy · 10-27-2007, 05:24 PM

haha no i dident paint it my uncle did he has painted a dozen of these trucks and they have all looked great and trust me i wont scratch it

clemson71guy · 10-28-2007, 04:10 PM

well o got 1 door home last nite. i did not get the other one because the paint ran on it so it will be repainted. my dad ordered a painless wiring kit for it so that should be on its way. now i have to decide what exhaust i want. im thinkig a 2 1/2 inch flowmaster turning out after the tires insed of strait back?
and my computer is being dum so i cant upload it on here. so what do yall think

clemson71guy · 10-28-2007, 08:44 PM

well now that it comes to the interior my dad wants to go all stock? we havent done nothing on this truck stock and now he wants to do it? he refuses to put a cd player in it even in the glove box or under the seat or anywhere. he wants to put the stock am radio in it the stock steering wheel the stock gauges in it everything stock...well im going to have to get a job soon because if hes goin to out what he wants in it if he pays for it even if im goin to be driving it. I dont blame him for doing it the way he wants it because hes paying for it, but if i spend my own money he wont care what i do with it.
but anyways we went and painted the other door today and steering colum today: here they are

and heres one more of the cab

Chevyman63 · 10-28-2007, 09:00 PM

Everything looks great! Now lets get it back together.
I think it's great that you and your dad are doing this together. It may not be that big of a deal to you right now, but if and when you have kids, it will be a big deal to you then. I have a 10 year old and 2 step sons that I've been able to work on vehicles with some and it's my way of bonding with them. I pray that my 10 year old will take an interest in these trucks in a few more years, it looks promising so far.
Keep up the good work!

clemson71guy · 10-29-2007, 04:42 PM

well thats all the paintin for awhile. now its time to start on the bed which is all the way aprart now so my plans for that is to get it rhino lined because i will be putting my dirtbike back there and i shure would hate to scratch up that paint!

clemson71guy · 11-01-2007, 08:50 PM

well when i got home from school i got a call from ups sayin that they would not drop off my wiring unless some one over 18 signs there paper

dumm i guss...so maybe they will come after 4 tomorrow so my mom or dad can sign the paper and i can get my wiring.
but anyways today we finished bolting up the cab and raditior support

its getting there but i still need to get alot of stuff done before i can put anything elese on

cstm68 · 11-02-2007, 12:06 AM

is the bed a fleet side or step side?

clemson71guy · 11-02-2007, 01:51 PM

fleetside

clemson71guy · 11-02-2007, 08:24 PM

well i went outside today and took some pictures of the bottom of the cab

this one makes it look like crap but its really just dust on it!

clemson71guy · 11-03-2007, 04:23 PM

well once again ups dident deliver my wiring they just keep leaving notes saying what time it will be dilevred and that the next attemp will be beween 10 and 2 oclock when no one is home. so i guss all im wating on is that wiring harness.

67ChevyRedneck · 11-03-2007, 05:09 PM

Read the back of the note they left. I believe you can sign the back of it and they should leave it.

Also... your truck looks freakin killer.

I'd get that garage roof fixed though, your truck got all wet

chevy72blu · 11-03-2007, 05:18 PM

You are verrrry luck to have your dad helping you with the project. I sure wish I had the same. I hope you appreciate what you have. Its going to be a gorgeous piece

clemson71guy · 11-03-2007, 09:38 PM

well we got tired of wating on the wiring harness so we juss called UPS up and told them we would come and get it. i opened that box up and it gave me a headache just looking at it....this is gonna be funn wiring up this thing.

Chevyman63 · 11-03-2007, 09:54 PM
