I ordered these knock offs and tried them on today. I just don't like them. They look a little better with the trim ring but still not that much. Back they go.

Agreed. I think if they didn't stick out so far they'd look much better. But I have always wondered how they'd look on our trucks.

**TJ's Chevy** · 05-29-2015, 02:30 PM

New parts in! Yeehaw!

siggyfreud · 05-29-2015, 04:24 PM

Didn't do anything to it directly, but ordered my Vintage Air AC setup

.

iceship · 05-31-2015, 09:57 PM

I paint some parts getting ready for my ls swap. .. also cleaned intake. .

zach_carver · 05-31-2015, 10:26 PM

I unfortunately found out today my pass side window crank is stripped out. PO had installed lots of silicone to fix it haha. Didn't work very well. But I do have my new oak wood stained and cut ready to seal for my bed though.

**TJ's Chevy** · 05-31-2015, 11:21 PM

Had to much dynamite laying around....

**Chevy Fleetside** · 06-01-2015, 07:43 PM

Dragged my son out to help me pull the cab off the parts truck. He had to do something for the first day of Summer vacation.

**pimpston65** · 06-01-2015, 08:37 PM

picked all the meat left...

el_bole · 06-02-2015, 04:43 PM

Thanks to jonzcustomshop's advice I cut the end of the frame rails(on 73' chassis) off to mock up fitment of original frame rail ends(61'). Now I got to measure , trim, fit, and trim, and tack it on....see if it all fits together.....This will probably be the last chassis swap I'll do LOL it's a PITA...

I admire guys like Jon who have the creativity and patience to build works of art.....I lack the patience lol....

OldChevy61 · 06-02-2015, 06:56 PM

Finally got the old 235 out today and off to its new home. Now progress can begin. Lots of cleaning, stripping and fix in bout to happen.

Looks Close to as dirty as mine was. lol!

OldChevy61 · 06-03-2015, 09:32 AM

All that oil and grease has preserved it well.lol

**pimpston65** · 06-03-2015, 10:58 AM

restored my clutch/brake setup...

SnS C10 · 06-03-2015, 10:33 AM

I pulled the valve cover on my 292 from the 64 lwb I just bought. Slight film of milky oil. Pretty sure I caught it before any real damage has been done. Next up will be to yank the head and dig a little deeper...

I also washed and waxed the whole truck. Here's a before and after!!!

Crazy Rusty · 06-03-2015, 10:58 AM

Finally finished my bed! Here is a tip, its very heavy.

Tennypicou1 · 06-04-2015, 05:48 PM

Installed an adjustable tracking bar today, and replace my 4" drop rear coil springs with 5" ones.

HappyHooligan · 06-06-2015, 12:59 PM

Hooked up wiring for Borg Warner Overdrive on my 4 speed! Happy to say at least the Solenoid works and does shift into Overdrive as it should

Still need to workout governor and kickdown switch, but glad to have it functional.

OldChevy61 · 06-06-2015, 03:03 PM

Got the pistons and crank out of the block. Headed to machine shop Monday morning.

**The Rocknrod** · 06-08-2015, 05:30 PM

Mounted the cab on the chassis. Sorting all the parts on my new project. Finding out what parts I need, even though I was told all the parts are there (not).
