Finally settled on my wheels, very common wheels but I like the look.
Boss 338
20x8 Front with 245 45 R20
20x10 Rear with 275 40 R20

Love the look, bolted right up with no issues

New wheels and tires.

PEITRUS · 01-16-2018, 12:52 AM

Towed it home. From San Jose, CA to Portland, OR. From the first owner to me, the new owner.

stevenfromtexas · 01-16-2018, 01:30 AM

installed a set of 6.5's in the kick panels and got my blue tooth set up (RetroSound Hermosa unit). very pleased!!! finished up by making the inside look like a baked tater (sound deadener)

Barnfind46 · 01-16-2018, 11:10 AM

I had to change my starter.

At least my truck decided to break down at the house!

427Carl · 01-16-2018, 05:08 PM

Love the truck .

**71CHEVYSHORTBED402** · 01-16-2018, 08:53 PM

We're pulling this Saturday for a stripped frame. Still undecided if the transmission goes with or separate. I bought a transmission jack, so either way works.

I pulled an engine once, which was this one back in 1993. My old buddy led. He had a chain hoist hung from the ceiling. Dollars to donuts the stud was unsupported.........YIKES!

ripper70 · 01-17-2018, 02:18 AM

Installed a aluminum box I made and polished to cover harness coming out of firewall

mud.man.rj · 01-17-2018, 10:46 PM

Nice clean small box, looks good, will just be a mystery box..
Mudman.

OregonNed · 01-17-2018, 11:01 PM

The box is cool! I like that

**Boog** · 01-17-2018, 11:34 PM

And it could be there is absolutely nothing in it at all. Just a conversation piece.

**Stephen717** · 01-18-2018, 10:44 PM

Well Tuesday I got new to me 67 fenders doors and if all goes right than later this spring I will have an entire bed, yesterday I was working and all I could do was make sure I still had everything under the hood, and today I painted the horn button from black to white to match the current blue and white paint theme on the truck. It's not the greatest paint job in the world but I can take pride in knowing I did it myself. Now I have to find a certain paint code for 70's chrome yellow imron, because I have an idea of what I want this truck to look like when I'm done with it and they don't make good imron anymore. So now I'm looking at other paints and still need this paint code. Will ask the people I know at the fire department that have there apparatus the same color. They should know.

I used a needle to redo mine black. That Emron paint is bad stuff, I got real sick after spraying a boat.

looks good. and yeah imron is bad stuff, but it lasts damn near forever. I don't need industrial paint on a pickup truck though. that's why I am just looking for the paint (color?) code, I've always loved the look of chrome yellow but most people who make it now it doesn't look quite right. so I need to ask the fire department what the color code is that they recently used to repaint their hahn. Its spot on to what the old paint that's on their old mini pumper looks like.

Toms67 · 01-19-2018, 05:57 AM

Got my procar seats and mounting bracket installed. Had to shorten the procar frame 3 inches. And also modified the Console. Took 3 inches off the bottom of that also. And installed a plywood floor in it. So it would clear the shifter. Need to get some new dash noobs now. And seat belts. Is there any end to the incredible shrinking wallet. LOL.

66clow · 01-20-2018, 11:33 PM

Installed my c notch kit. Never want to see a rivet again. They are a pain in the rear frame! I can now get my blocks to get to 7 in the rear.

mdeal · 01-21-2018, 01:48 AM

Today was very productive! I was able to get my door windows installed and my new Front Air Dam. Thanks to this thread:http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=423059

It was an easy install and it only cost me $19 and a few bolts i had laying around. I bought it off Amazon. 88-98 Silverado front air dam. Works perfect!

How low is your truck? Wondering what is too low for it to work. Looks great!

I bought a CPP spring kit from a friend years ago and he told me it was a 5” kit. I believe it’s 3 in the front and 5 in the rear.

69BUCKET · 01-21-2018, 02:38 PM

ENGINE BAY ABOUT done...

**painterljp** · 01-21-2018, 03:10 PM

We put on a new brake booster and new master both were bad. Got everything bled out and was able to drive it today first time since we bought truck 3 years ago. Yeah!!! Rebuilt the original 402, tranny, now new booster. And master. Runs great. Drives pretty fair also. Now today inner fenders going back on.

Ken O. · 01-21-2018, 10:24 PM

Picked up a new (used) grille and headlight bezels on Craigslist. Slowly getting where I want it. I already had the chrome headlight bezels but these are in better shape so I grabbed them too.

stevenfromtexas · 01-22-2018, 10:44 AM
