Thanks for the tip Mike, I know just which bolt holes your referring to. I'm sure your right.

Really great work on your rig. I like what you did with your instrument bezel. That looks super sharp.... along with the rest of the truck.

Low Elco · 03-07-2013, 11:20 AM

Hey John! So, like, what's up? You slingin' the BC CC yet?

NewType72 · 03-07-2013, 12:54 PM

Truck bucks... I like that. Mines been the Chevy fund. I think I'm going to adopt that name. I have that brake set up on my wishlist. Jealous. With my seat foam, seat cover, Hushmat, and painless wiring harness purchase in the last month... My truck bucks are basically non existent now! I might have to sell some parts.

keep up the great work!

Thanks ! I cant take credit for truck bucks though, it's one of LowElco's. Piece by piece....save save then more bits and pieces..repeat. thats how I had to do it. I cant sell anything till I'm finished, because I know if I sell it, then I'll need it.

Money can go fast, but when the project is done (even though their never done. lol) we will have something to be proud of.

Sorry not a real update, but I've been working on getting a new space to start some more projects!

longbed67 · 05-01-2013, 03:40 PM

Wow you still are around! I was wondering if you jumped ship!

That shop should have a little room for your projects looks good!

jlsanborn · 05-02-2013, 03:23 PM

Cool to see you chime in! What's the story on the shop!? '68 Chevy project in there first?

Low Elco · 05-02-2013, 04:19 PM

FrankieD · 05-09-2013, 01:45 PM

Are you going into business or something? I know what you mean by fires, with the light winter and blowing the trans in my plow truck I spent all my extra cash on a 95 BBC Burb & Plow. Wife and kid are giving crap about not working on the 70 till I ask the wife if she is going to buy the parts then she shuts up. Still kicking around sellin her but what the hey ya never know
