Re: "All Out Original 72"
I added extra shims, so when I have it aligned, they will take shims out, that I have already clear coated, and will not add their un-cleared ones. I want this thing to look this way in 10 years, maybe.

Re: "All Out Original 72"
Good thinking! I figured it must be something like that. Keep up the good work!

Re: "All Out Original 72"
Love the build! My dad was an all original kind of guy and was working on an old (1928?) Dodge before Parkinson's slowed him down. My '70 is going mostly original, with a few tweaks under the hood. nothing as elaborate as NOS etc. but with the "new old" look.
Keep up the nice pictures!

Re: "All Out Original 72"
Nope, he passed away 2 years ago. It went in the estate sale along with two 20's parts cars, a 53 Ford 2 dr, a 63 Buick Special (V6), an 84 Delta 88, and a 90 Chev 1500. The Chevy was pristine with 60k mi, it went for about $3K. I got the '70 then.

Re: "All Out Original 72"
Sorry for your loss!!! Sounds like he was a pretty classy guy, with the rides he had. Carry on his work with the 70, I'm certain he would be proud! God bless!

Re: "All Out Original 72"
Some carpet and firewall insulation. Also the floor insulation kit. Found the "Starting Procedure" decal online, heated it, and the sunvisor with a heatgun, while applying, and it gave it the original "textured" look, I think?

Re: "All Out Original 72"
First new part in the dash, NOS out of the box speaker, heck, I even cleared it, as not to rust later.

Re: "All Out Original 72"
I got it for $350, it was sent out to the repair shop years ago, I have all new hardware, knobs, antenna, etc. That's a terrible pic, it looks new in person. It's been amazing the NOS parts I have been able to find for this truck. I am going to take some pics of the boxes that some of the parts have come in, I have been saving most of the smaller ones. Thanks for the input!!!!

Re: "All Out Original 72"
Looking back over this thread, I have to say these photos "Do Not" do it justice! Wish I had a better camera, or enough sense to use the one I have.... Everything looks so dirty, and milky? I promise, It's not !!!

Re: "All Out Original 72"
Took some photo's of the boxes some of the parts came in, thought they were pretty cool. NOS front bumper guards, A/c center vent, heater control assembly, etc.

Re: "All Out Original 72"
I used to work in the parts dept for the local (now closed) Chevy dealer back in the 80's. There was a time when restoring these trucks was all the rage around here and I remember selling tons of moldings, and stuff for them. Now you hardly see any on the road around here anymore.
You're doing a beautiful job. Nice to see you're going all original. It would be cool if you could get a repro window price/option sticker as well. |

I also worked at dealerships, and remember when we had everything for these trucks! I was buying parts from the dealership for a 72 Z28 in the early 90's, full quarters, fenders, door skins, chrome, it was still available even then. I was blessed on this build to find all these NOS parts!!! Thanks for the input, brings back some memeories..... |
