that sounds like a really nice combo also, ill check in from time to time, you are doing a great job so far

BossHogg69 · 08-10-2013, 10:21 AM

I think black seats w/red & blk houndstooth would look awesome. Also Superflysteiny's 'Pops 72 build' is another awesome black truck w/red guts.

Today was mostly gutting the interior. Got the dealer under dash installed A/C unit out!!!!

I will be going through in in the next couple of weeks. Look at the box cardboard gaskets used as spacers behind the 8-track player!! I should have the dash dismantled this weekend. Check out the pic of the roof after the headliner was removed....SHINE!!

Took the same shot when I did the 72' Hugger!!

FRENCHBLUE72 · 08-10-2013, 06:38 PM

Beautiful truck and congrats... I'd like to see a black seat with red houndstooth sounds bad ass...

SuperC10Tex · 08-11-2013, 07:25 PM

Got the dash gutted, sanded, and primed. Steering wheel column and dash top ready to paint black...also got the back window out!!

Hardesty454 · 08-11-2013, 07:53 PM

Looking pretty good!!!

Low Elco · 08-12-2013, 08:08 AM

Glad to see the continuing saga of the 'ol GMC! Best of luck with it!

STOCKISH · 08-12-2013, 08:55 AM

Looking good so far. Love where you are taking this. I think the black/red houndstooth would look killer as well.

72BlckButy · 08-12-2013, 01:59 PM

Fast progress... keep it coming.

Number98 · 08-12-2013, 02:27 PM

Wow, I will have to keep an eye on your progress!

Looking good....

Bennett68C10 · 08-12-2013, 03:49 PM

Love the truck and can't wait to see how you finish it off. I love the red interior too

Adding a little red "Touch" this weekend!! I must say "It looks awsome"....I got my rebuilt seatbelts and vent windows from Cheyenne Super-Man last week, they look brand new. Painter has replacement fender cups...he hopes to be done in a couple of weeks. Enjoy the pics!!

As I work on this truck I hear my Grandfather voice..."anything worth doing, is worth doing right the first time"......

STOCKISH · 08-18-2013, 09:22 PM

LOVE IT!! The black and red look so killer together. Great work man.

darkhorse970 · 08-18-2013, 10:08 PM

Thanks Guys!!

Still thinking about seat covers.....Bright Red door panels should be here tomorrow.

Painter is taking all work down to the metal, front fender cups were bad. Going with what CC69rat (Chad), painted the inside of the bed....Tuxedo black.

SuperC10Tex · 08-21-2013, 09:11 PM

I have gone through the GM under dash A/C unit. Changed O-rings, going to keep it r12...hope it all works out in the long run......

I really like the upgrades you are making to this already super nice truck.

SuperC10Tex · 08-24-2013, 02:36 PM

Working on the dash some this weekend....slow, but coming along.

STOCKISH · 08-24-2013, 03:01 PM

Beautiful! Great choice using the red.

**lolife99** · 08-24-2013, 03:16 PM

Yes.
Red will be so nice.
Are you using a wood grain instrument panel also?
