Next project has started, new vent windows, channel run, and edge seal/fuzzies. I have everything removed, gonna paint a couple of things that had some rusty scale on them, lube up the window regulator, and hopefully put it all back together tomorrow night. If all goes well I should be done with this by the weekend. It's hard working full time to support this habit!

Thanks guys! I finished the passenger door glass tonight. The doors sound so much more solid when they close and the windows are smooth all the way up and down. I can't believe I was nervous about doing this job.

Oh enough already..... Paint the thing and slam it Lol

I looked all around this thread, trying to see what kind of steering wheel that is, but couldnt find anything. Mind helping a brother out? I love it and desperately need to swap out my wheel.

Not sure what the Grant part number is but here is a ebay listing that includes the adapter. Seems like I got all of that for less at Summit, but here it is.

Little update for those looking to use the Holley accessory brackets. After driving the truck a bit the belt "settled" some so I went to an even shorter belt. It is Carquest p/n K060997, it's 99 7/8" long and puts the tension pointer right where it needs to be.

RRR3869 · 09-29-2013, 11:17 PM

Awesome truck great job!

Daaang.... Porterbuilt AND A/C?? I missed a lot! I still love this truck... I actually told the wife a few weeks ago that I was tossing around the idea of finding an LS and an auto to swap into mine. And A/C, that would be SWEET!

I need to rebuild my doors/windows as well. They rattle like crazy when you shut them and when you're going down the road and the passenger side is down.

Keep up the great work! I saw your post about getting "down" on your truck and I can relate. Especially when you look at the "show truck" builds on this forum. Makes me want to blow mine back apart and do everything "right". BUT, I have to remind myself, she's just a driver, and that's what I wanted. Maybe one day I'll build a show truck, but for now, this one is good enough. I get plenty of compliments when I drive her anyway

C10_ustacould · 10-12-2013, 01:07 PM

Received a cool item in the mail this week... original Protect-O-Plate!

**68jewel** · 10-12-2013, 03:03 PM

Wow, sweet. That's always a nice little piece to have.

C10_ustacould · 10-14-2013, 12:08 AM

Well... Cruisin' the Coast was fun and I enjoyed meeting a bunch of board members, but it really got me thinking about my truck. I need to take it down for a few weeks/months to fix some things that just need fixing and to do some detail work. There is one more big show/cruise in Panama City Beach next month(http://www.emeraldcoastcruizin.com/) and I am excited to take it over there, but after that it's time to get after it!

67c10rustbuket · 10-14-2013, 12:25 AM

Love this truck! The protecto plate is sweet, wish I had one.

**lolife99** · 10-14-2013, 07:40 AM

Are you still selling your Porterbuilt coilover set-up?
You must be adding air ride now,...
