It's been a while since I've updated my build, I have been busy driving my truck and enjoying the holidays with my family. I hope everyone had a great holiday season. I did get my wing windows rebuilt and installed, which was a lot easier than I expected. My goal is to finish up the interior and order my A/C system in the next 2 months.

Very nice work on the vent windows. I love the wood bed. It looks great, as does the rest of your truck. Keep the pictures coming.

I appreciate your help with the wing Windows and thank you for following my build for the last 5 yrs Mike!

trkfrk · 01-14-2016, 11:47 AM

I didn't realize the rubber on the wing Windows was supposed to be tucked in. Good thing for silicon spray! I didn't have to pull the wing Windows back out.

Lowbuck Hotrod · 01-17-2016, 10:51 PM

Just checked out your whole build. Awesome truck! I love the color of the pc on the frame. Do you know the exact color of it? Getting ready to take mine in.

Thank you for taking the time to read through it. That's what's so cool about this forum, that we are able to document our builds

Thank You. The PC on my frame is "hammered black". It looks more gray than black lol. See pic, I can get you a part number if you want it.

Such a beautiful truck

Ed F · 01-18-2016, 09:10 PM

I just found your build thread tonight and spent a while hitting the highlights. Iam an old school guy and usually don't like the way trucks are getting modified these days. I don't like the slammed look and/or large diameter wheels at all. I have to say, I really like what you have done and how you've accomplished it. Your attention to detail is outstanding. The stance is perfect. Very very nice truck. I restore mahogany boats and have been a woodworker all my life. I don't know what your experience with wood is but expect your cherry wood to continue to darken when exposed to sunlight. A good marine varnish with UV inhibitors will slow the process. Enjoy your beautiful truck!

What an Awesome compliment! I have been very fortunate to have help from this forum, and help from good friends with my build! Especially, the unfamiliar areas, such as the wood floor etc. I respect you guys that work with wood and are good at it, since there's no room for error (unlike metal)!

Had to drive the truck to work today since we're in the upper 60's and put it on the truck scale. Weighed 3,720 lbs (no one in the seat) with a full tank of fuel and a 12 pack.

Your truck looks great Mark! I know how cool it is to drive them to work, I try to drive mine as often as I can.

Bennett68C10 · 01-29-2016, 07:45 PM

Look at that Red shine, love it!

After many hours of research, I have ordered my new rear end gears with posi traction. Now I will be able to use 5th & 6th gear on the freeway.
