Now, that would reallllly piss me off.

Damn, those are gorgeous.

**superflysteiny** · 09-11-2012, 02:54 PM

oh and they are on there on there way I shipped them today brother

CC69Rat · 09-11-2012, 03:12 PM

All I have is .12 left in my pocket ! The check for my left kidney is supposed to come in next week.

(kidding) Now, I'm REALLY going to be stuck doing a bathroom remodel. I told my wife if she'd let me get these I'd finish the downstairs bathroom to match the one upstairs I just finished.

she asked me the other day, "Are we going to haul the wood for the new deck home in your truck? " Ummm .. NO.

**superflysteiny** · 09-12-2012, 12:27 AM

You guys are funny

NewType72 · 09-12-2012, 12:43 AM

there may be wood already in my bed but by no means in hell does that mean it will be carrying anything without some sort of protectant

CC69Rat · 09-12-2012, 08:05 AM

Eric, they're not here yet ..

I havent forgotten about the pictures, they're on my other laptop I just need to login and post them. I went for a long run last night and I didn't get home till late.

Question, the front bumper guards. On or Off ? Being a SG / Super whatever would it look cool to leave them? I'm kinda thinking they have been on the truck since new and I'm sure you'll be able to tell in the chrome on the bumper where they once were. Leave em ?

Also, should I replace the side trim? The lighter wood trim (from what I can tell ) is an overlay. I'm thinking when the truck was new maybe they liked the lighter wood trim and just placed a sticker over the top of the darker brown / wood trim? There is darker wood colored trim underneath it.

Some of the trim on this truck is questionable. Ex. Screws to hold it on, etc. should I get a new set .. before or after I paint it ??

**lolife99** · 09-12-2012, 08:28 AM

I vote for new woodgrain trim and a new front bumper.
Sell the old front bumper with the bumper guards.

**67cheby** · 09-12-2012, 10:22 AM

i am running the 67-68 guards on mine i like the look of the earlier guards

Lolyin58 · 09-12-2012, 12:16 PM

Chad, wheels are gonna look killer. I say leave the front bumper as is, looks really good!!

XxCHEVYMANxX · 09-12-2012, 12:20 PM

Ok Chad, I'm cought up on this build too. you did an outstanding job bringing the paint to life ! Pops is really a key player too. you guys make a good team. keep up the good work fellas !

CC69Rat · 09-12-2012, 01:45 PM

Just messin with ya .. I trust you. Just excited.

CC69Rat · 09-13-2012, 10:35 PM

I agree. The bumper and guards will stay for a while, until I decide on paint I guess. ..

Here are some pics of this past weekend. Planing and cutting the grooves for the bedwood, Northern white oak. It came out awesome. (thanks to GMC Pauls for the measurements of the width of the pieces and grooves for the strips etc.)

Dad and I are pulling the bed off on Sat. I'll post more pics as I can.

CC69Rat · 09-13-2012, 10:40 PM

The buckets and console are in. Notice the driver's side with adjustable and lowered seat height. It sits perfect. We added just a little bit of lean to the back to make it have more of a gangsta lean ..

I have plans for a tank cover, I just don't have it yet ..

We also moved the seats away from the console just a little bit. I think the factory location is a little tight on the console plus it allowed the use of two original holes. The lowered seat brackets are solid and cut from billet. They came out really cool.

VA72C10 · 09-13-2012, 10:41 PM

Looks great! WOW!

CC69Rat · 09-13-2012, 10:43 PM

VA72C10 · 09-13-2012, 10:52 PM

Wood's going to look great!
