Don't forget to get remove from that loaner truck the adapter plate that mounts to the side wall of the inner cab. This adapter plate joins the blower fan ( via a wide rubber sleeve ) to fresh outside air:

Got my tailgate straps finished.

Nothing, but found this old Chevy grille (probably 29-31 based on what he had as a kid) in my Dad's storage container. Also brought back two boxes of old hub caps (some AD) and saw an old gas pump buried in the back.

that there is a deluxe heater my friend ! good find !!!!! i like the stuffin that is in there
dont lose all the screws when ya open it - excellent score sir !

[Rednek13x]

Awesome that's cool to hear! I needed that along with the vacuum windshield wipers. I have the rest of the pieces just not shown. Do you have any idea how much the deluxe heater would bring in this condition? Just wonder, i will Not be selling it so its all good.

Great score on the heater. I was hoping to find one before I gave up and went with a Vintage Aire setup. I was watching one on EBay that looked to be in about the same condition as yours. It went to $370 but I had already lost interest long before that.

[Daze57]

honest - not sure on sellin price but when working correctly they are really real good !
make sure all the insides are there and replace the thick rubber bands that band the 2 parts together - do you know how to put it in ? and good score on the wipers

[Rednek13x]

All the insides seem to be there and intact. I just took everything apart so putting back together should be a breeze, Everything moves freely too so that is nice. Which is really surprising because the rest of the truck or cab is pretty much rusted out and falling apart.

[la hi]

skip the wiper motor and go electric.

[Rednek13x]

I know they dont work well, but i like the "cool" factor, plus i would like to keep the truck as stock as possible. Maybe one day ill go electric, for now, vacuum!

You know there are factory electric ones, right?

Lookin' good. A 3 or 5 axis laser works well for squaring the rear cross member to the frame. Does the Camaro rear cross member have locating pins like the corvette? You're going to like that setup. Good luck with the build.

I painted my new door panels and added some texture. What do you guys think?


Thanks Ray

[Russell Ashley]

Door panels look great. The rest of the truck looks great also, LOL. Nice truck.

[mknittle]

Door panels look good! What is the seat out of?

[lowdownstar]

Thanks guys! very nice of you to say.

The seat is an after market seat by a company call TEA's design. It fits the truck great and i love how comfy it is.

painted my rear fender today can't wait to see how well or bad i did for my first paint job.



Thanks again Ray

Six hours banging, plastic & sanding. Hood is almost perfect. Some silver dollar size dents from shutting it to hard, no rust.

And Dont' give it any more viagra!

Mocked up my rear suspension today once the control arms are in where I want them I will mount the coil overs. That is if I don't decide to do a a trailing arm set up.

[mknittle]

Iworked on cleaning up my frame where the suspension X-member goes. I would like to weld it in tomorrow. If the wind dies down that is.

About to change the oil and use 20/ 50 to see if oil pressure comes up.. if not I have a new pump on standby. Waiting on the sun to go down, it was 105F outside
