Me too...It has a paint stripe of course now but not the original...i'll have to look online and see if I can identify it...

Found a thread on here with this:

Oh, and in the spare parts picture I forgot the rust free driver's side door. Will take some time this week cleaning it up and painting then installing all nice bead blasted parts in the door.

gcburdic · 08-08-2011, 08:52 AM

you said spare parts....I thought you had your own parts store going there for awhile.....That paint stripe is a cool find/ option!!!

VA72C10 · 08-08-2011, 07:15 PM

Just bought this wheel/cap with horn guts for $50 shipped off the board...have a nicer cap I'll put on after I fix the cracks and paint it....possibly a metallic or candy red I'm thinking if I go with the satin black....Thinking I'll do red door panels, wheel, and maybe glovebox door...

oldblue1968chevy · 08-08-2011, 10:35 PM

Why not jb weld or similar (we use pc7 from hardware store bigger and cheaper)..

Good luck keep us posted on the wheel job!

Hey Jonathon. Just seen your new build thread tonight. Looks like a good start on your new project, you have enough spare parts to build a truck, so it should not be any problem for you to find anything you need for this one. I will have to come see you and see if you have got in anything I can use since I seen you last. I finished the 72 now starting on my 70. I vote for the teal it looked cool, but I am very colored blind.

Thanks. Looking forward to seeing the 72 completed and more than happy to help with parts for the 70

I have a LOT more parts than even a few months ago....I'm supposed to be selling but I keep buying more than I sell

VA72C10 · 08-09-2011, 01:53 AM

I gotta stop looking online....I keep fining parts I "Have to" have for this truck

Need to keep this one simple....need to keep this one simple....need to......

The one thing I did decide is since I have 11 tach dashes currently in varying states of completion....that I would take one of my rougher tins and use the existing gauges (since they are all in nice shape and the odometer is original to the truck and accurate) and add a tach to it. IF I bag it...I might use an air pressure gauge I have. Otherwise I might use a vacuum gauge to monitor engine vacuum since it's cool and I have five of them right now and a few extra tach/vac tins lying around

XxCHEVYMANxX · 08-09-2011, 05:17 PM

I like it already. cant wait to see what you do with it.

I had to laugh when I read this post. Jonathan, you are standing on a very slippery slope and you are getting ready to go for a ride! Step away from the edge!

heeroyue2002 · 08-09-2011, 07:58 PM

yup, it doesnt really look like a small build. at least it will be cheaper because of that stash of parts u have laying around/.

70k52wd · 08-09-2011, 08:46 PM

It of course is your truck, but I think I agree with the slippery slope. I guess if I had as many parts as you, I may think differently, but you've had better platforms to go nuts on.
I would keep it cheap, and a shop truck junker. Just my 2 cents. No trying to offend.
Also, take a pic of a vac gauge, never seen one in these trucks before. And which hole do they go in.

Your build has motivated me to do a similar truck the next time I build one. This making them real shinny and pretty and being afraid to drive them or park them anywhere is getting old. Im looking forward to seeing your forward progress on this one.

I'm stepping back man

I can't afford to go crazy on this one...but it will get the best used parts I have on it....

I totally get it. No offense taken! I will not make this into a show truck. My main temptation is bagging it and putting 20's on it....but unless I find a KILLER deal on some 20's, I'll stick with the rims on it, dress them up with paint and some cool caps, and get some nice used or new tires on it...

Cool! I look forward to your next build. You've put together some nice trucks!!!

VA72C10 · 08-09-2011, 11:36 PM

Keith (lolife99) shipped out his black floor mat from his build he replaced with carpet. It's not a perfect fit according to him, but looked decent in the pictures to me and will be fine for this build and a lot better than no flooring at all

mjensen · 08-09-2011, 11:52 PM

Okay, so exactly how did you get that diff so clean? That's going to be the next stage of my project, and I'm just dying to know

I simply sprayed some citrus pb blaster on it, let it set for 15 minutes...then hit it with my pressure washer. The last truck I rebuilt I did this and then used a wire wheel to get it down to bare, clean metal before painting. I still might do that with this one when I install the new lowering springs later....

VA72C10 · 08-10-2011, 11:19 AM

Thinking of selling the complete 70 front clip or selling the grille and parts separate and then putting a 67 front end on it....I have MOST of the pieces....any suggestions???
