Re: Project Gibson: 72 Cheyenne Super 4x4 3/4 ton factory build

John - I see that the top of the dash is still in primer. Are you painting it in a flat finish like OEM to match the dash pad color? My orange K20 had a parchment interior with a black dash pad so this portion of the dash was flat black.

Yes, the front of the dash will be the flat black. The bottom is also painted orange. I need to get that picture back from the shop. My painter is really being meticulous!

Coming along nicely. It's nice to see a restoration like this. It's going to be a beautiful truck.

A little more work done. Installed the AC hoses, compressor, instrument cluster and tilt column. Battery cables and wiring almost complete.

We need to fill with fluids and add radiator and then we will light it off!

Had a pretty efficient weekend. Brakes almost done, check torque settings on the front springs, tightened up the ball joints.

Lit the motor up and ran to harden cam. Getting closer!

Ok, major updates. Truck is on the road and has completed 300 miles. I need to get more pictures of the interior. Interesting truck as it was ordered as a 3/4 ton 4x4 with the small mirrors on the Spid.
