Damb you are almost as bad as I am! Funny how we can work on several projects at one time but still never seem to get one done

Well time for me to head in the shop and sand and I hope to get paint on Low Bucks cab today!

Yep I blame YOU kevin look what else I just got!!!

FRENCHBLUE72 · 01-29-2008, 12:42 AM

Hopefully I am takeing daisy in to get plates monday morning..... whooo hoo.

Daniel U · 03-02-2008, 09:52 PM

Nice looking projects! I'd personally like a Chevy truck from each body style(one can dream, right?). I like your sig, "Chevy's Only". Our Chevy's keep us/me busy too. I'll be looking for some new pics, keep up the good work!

FRENCHBLUE72 · 03-04-2008, 02:27 AM

She has plates and a new vin tag... I also got the roll pan and cab corner just need to install them. I orderd a smooth tailgate skin hopefully it will be here this week..

FRENCHBLUE72 · 03-31-2008, 07:46 PM

Weather is getting good and I got rid of a project so its back to little daisy agian... Heres a few pics..

FRENCHBLUE72 · 03-31-2008, 07:52 PM

Heres a few more.. The mar-k tailgate skin is really nice the roll pan is a little on the cheap side (counterpart I believe was the manufacture)

Cyclone44 · 03-31-2008, 08:18 PM

Looks like you do some nice fab work....

FRENCHBLUE72 · 07-05-2008, 01:07 AM

Ok back to the project. I got the roll pan all welded up and the tailgate skin installed. I hated the way the roll pan looked with the big gaps at the seams so they got welded up. I also stared on the rewire of the truck as you can see by the old harness it really needed some help looked like someone raided radio shack...

FRENCHBLUE72 · 07-05-2008, 01:22 AM

And heres a few shots of the painless kit going in... Should be done by the end of the 4th weekend. I also installed my powdercoated headlight buckets with new gaskets and new chrome headlight rings. So far i have the headlights and front running lights working along with the turnsignals. I have a new lokar pedal and cable set-up ready to go in and the hei and headders should be here saturday....

FRENCHBLUE72 · 07-05-2008, 01:49 AM

Heres the last of the pics until the rest of the parts come in....

Daniel U · 07-05-2008, 10:48 AM

I really like that intake.

FRENCHBLUE72 · 07-06-2008, 09:58 PM

Ok got the throttle cable and pedal installed,what a p.i.t.a. but its in and works great. Also went down and bought a new grant wheel to replace the moldy camaro one. The new headders and hei dizzy came in but I did not get to putting them on. I also finished up the new guage wireing and reinstalled them.

FRENCHBLUE72 · 07-27-2008, 09:52 AM

Finally got the signal indicators and high bean indicatior hooked up and working.. One more week untill vacation and then there should be some pretty good progress..

FRENCHBLUE72 · 07-27-2008, 09:59 AM

I also got the floor insulation cut and pre installed...

bad6772 · 07-27-2008, 09:59 AM

Man that look killer.....

big_al_71 · 07-27-2008, 10:12 AM

Man I wish
I had more patience to tackle a project like this. I have done lots of work over the years but never a ground up....
Way to go!!!

Kim57 · 07-27-2008, 11:31 AM

Looking good keep up the work and pics.
Kim

OrrieG · 07-27-2008, 11:09 PM

Nice work. I'm not looking forward to wiring mine, it was even worse than radioshack rejects. Who did you get your rear pan from?? Just had a time to read the whole thread. Comment about your father-in-law getting high priming cracked me up, this afternoon I was priming mine with the dog laying in the other side of the garage and I notice he was a little wobbly when he got up.

FRENCHBLUE72 · 07-28-2008, 08:10 PM

I got the roll pan from the filling station.. Its cheap imo I would get one from mar-k if they offer them thats where I got my tailgate skin and im impressed with it..

joe231 · 08-10-2008, 11:26 PM

very nice build!!!

olblue60@aol.com · 09-28-2008, 05:57 PM

Great project. There is a 1959 4x4 chevy panel on Ebay that really has me thinkin right now. Very low rust. Good luck on your project!

FRENCHBLUE72 · 03-15-2009, 02:40 PM

OK well the economy has been slowing me down some but even more than that I took some time off from projects and even stayed off the board for awhile to get my drive back.... so with out further ado here's some new pics.... Most of the work in these pics are of the bed...

FRENCHBLUE72 · 03-15-2009, 02:50 PM

A few more....

FRENCHBLUE72 · 03-15-2009, 02:53 PM

In these pics you can see where we stripped the old bondo off the roof and it looks like kids were jumpin on the darn roof...
