Those mirrors look nice and fit your build theme. How's everything in OK?

RockTonka · 04-14-2021, 09:16 PM

Thanks Ryan, we're doing fine...just weathering this storm like everybody else. How bout y'all?

**Dieselwrencher** · 04-15-2021, 05:53 AM

We just had another kiddo about a month ago. We're doing the same. Just trying to keep up. Things have been super busy lately.

RockTonka · 08-22-2022, 12:45 AM

Started fooling with this again...not running yet, but pulled it out of the shop to get the inner steps bed-lined. I'm gonna work on the interior a bit.

6DoF · 08-22-2022, 11:09 AM

i was just thinking the other day about your truck and what was new

**Ol Blue K20** · 08-23-2022, 10:21 AM

Nice to hear you're back on it

lower50's · 08-23-2022, 06:35 PM

Sometimes you just need a bit of a brake, glad to see your getting back at it.

Yep, summer was too damn hot...hard to get motivated.

Working with our interior guy...knocking out parts and pieces over the weekends for a bit. Got the lower door panels done...same tweed/pattern as on the seat.

RockTonka · 09-04-2022, 02:34 AM

Headliner and back of cab done today...

RockTonka · 09-07-2022, 01:31 AM

Had some time Monday to finish Dynamatting the cab...tranny tunnel and up under the dash. I picked up the re-covered visors today...I like the look.

57tailgater · 09-07-2022, 12:47 PM

I see you're using a stock speaker box. Tried searching your thread for details but didn't find any on how you did the speaker(s), wiring etc. Any details you can share? Great build!

Thanks! We aren't installing a stereo in this, but I wasn't ready to close off the speaker box when we were working through the cab smoothing.

We may incorporate a back-up camera monitor in the box, but haven't decided that for sure yet.

Thanks. I had thought of putting a couple of gauges up there once but a back-up monitor/screen is a great idea. I'll keep an eye out to see what you do.

RockTonka · 10-09-2022, 02:53 AM

We finished up the last of interior today and started running a few more wires...baby steps still.

**G&R's57GMC** · 10-13-2022, 12:50 AM

I just read through the whole build , Great Project , fantastic fab skills love the truck !

But if one were to name it or have a theme it would have to be something along the lines of Swiss Cheese , what with all the dimple dies and holes . I can see a Logo on the doors now

**G&R's57GMC** · 10-13-2022, 11:03 AM

What a difference a Logo makes ...

Went from "ya it has potential" to "Cool" , "Was it a station truck ?" These were some of the comments it got a the local Chevy Show a year apart .

6DoF · 10-13-2022, 12:07 PM

it really does complete a package look!

RockTonka · 10-28-2022, 02:39 AM

...

RockTonka · 02-15-2023, 01:55 AM

I've been holding off putting stock interior door handles on...just didn't do much for me. My son and I were playing around with ideas and designed these, we asked Mike's Billet Mirrors out of San Marcos, Texas (same guy that did our mirrors) to build these for us.

lower50's · 02-15-2023, 09:09 AM

Those look really cool. Suite the truck for sure.

Thank you! I'm doing everything I can to run this speed hole deal into the ground!

RockTonka · 04-01-2024, 02:46 AM

Welp, it's up and running...

**Rickysnickers** · 04-01-2024, 09:20 AM

Well Done!!!!!!

**rgunlock** · 04-01-2024, 11:10 AM

Turned out amazing!!

dsraven · 04-01-2024, 12:18 PM

looks awesome, and a little intimidating for the pushcart car crowd, haha
have you done an alignment? maybe just the pics but wheels look toe'd out. that'll burn tires off fast if so.
love the metalwork detail. great job, thanks for posting.
