Looking good!

**robgmaddux** · 04-21-2015, 08:55 PM

I have been really busy working on wiring and doing some dash work.

**DeadheadNM** · 04-21-2015, 09:41 PM

Coming together nicely! Just a heads-up. GM painted the top of the dash to match the dash pad and with a flat finish to reduce glare. My orange K20 with a parchment interior had a black dash pad and the dash top was painted a flat black.

SS Tim · 04-22-2015, 12:09 AM

Being a big 519 fan, dark yellow or an orange that has always been a question for me as well. Either way it looks good!
But being a serious numbers guy there is something that comes to mind.
The door data plate decodes for a C20 4x2 truck and it has clearly replaced/no-factory rivets.
Being as the chassis is a 4x4 I must ask do any of the numbers match your title and will that be a problem?

**robgmaddux** · 04-22-2015, 12:13 AM

The #s do match the title not sure exactly when it was converted.

**TBONE1964** · 04-22-2015, 12:15 AM

Subscribed. I have a 1970 K20 that I just purchased and a huge K20 fan.

Looking forward to seeing your progress.

Take care and have fun,
Tom

SS Tim · 04-22-2015, 12:27 AM

Great so you are on top of that. Its a hard question to ask but I hate to see people with a project they can't title. Or even worse have it impounded during a VIN verification.

**robgmaddux** · 04-24-2015, 02:43 PM

I want to post a link to YouTube can someone help me out please.

**robgmaddux** · 04-30-2015, 10:22 PM

Got the inside of fenders painted. Took me all weekend to hang the doors and fenders. I bought a repo passanger side not doesn't fit very well.

**robgmaddux** · 04-30-2015, 10:25 PM

Wondering what all the other ls swappers are doing with the steam vent line. I have a stock 72 radiator.

**robgmaddux** · 05-10-2015, 01:43 AM

Little update. I ended up using the radiator out of the donor truck. Fits pretty well. Also bought a couple of electric fans off of eBay.

**robgmaddux** · 05-28-2015, 11:54 PM

well I've been really busy at work and with family time. I got first coat of primer on with guide coat. Also got it all blocked out should be putting second coat of high build primer on tonight.

**DeadheadNM** · 05-29-2015, 12:18 AM

Sweet!

**robgmaddux** · 05-29-2015, 01:27 PM

Made the stupid mistake of masking with cheap plastic drop cloth. Overspray flaked off and was floating everywhere when I was shooting 2nd coat of high yield.

Mr Chevorlet · 05-29-2015, 02:34 PM

Looking Sweet, good progress!

**robgmaddux** · 05-30-2015, 06:24 PM

Little more progress. Got air intake on also re-masked the truck and sprayed some more high build primer.

**robgmaddux** · 05-31-2015, 08:20 PM

Cab and front clip painted.

**robgmaddux** · 05-31-2015, 10:57 PM

Another pic

**DeadheadNM** · 05-31-2015, 10:58 PM

Congrats! More pics!

**robgmaddux** · 05-31-2015, 10:58 PM

I'm going to say not to bad for my 2nd paint job.

**robgmaddux** · 05-31-2015, 11:04 PM

When I paint the hood and the box I am going to add about 6 more 4' lights in my garage. I had a couple spots low that are a little drier than I would like. I guess that's why they make 2000 grit and a buffer

**robgmaddux** · 05-31-2015, 11:07 PM

Just a quick question. How do I get my build link into my signature?

**TBONE1964** · 05-31-2015, 11:08 PM

That is looking really nice. I am sure you are excited to get it all in color. Cut and buff will make it look really nice.

Keep up the good work there

Take care,
Tom
