I think driving lights would look good, especially if they matched the turn signals in the grille.

**SactoJim** · 03-11-2008, 09:53 AM

First rode trip......and no glitches.....awesome!

Couldn't have picked a nicer day either!

Truck looks great Kevin.

Why.....you wanna trade?

your guy just did a much better job of following the contour or the original seat.....especially around the perimeter.

I'm just gonna have to live with mine.

I've thought about putting the 71-72 ambers in the grille of my '69. My order got mixed up for the front markers, and I got a clear for the '69-70, and an amber for the 71-72. Their identical moldings though.

Since I'm away from my truck.. what are the dimension of the holes in the bumpers? Looking at the fog lights on my '90 Firebird, I think a pair of those may fit nicely in each bumper hole. If you don't mind a 2 + 2 thing with fog lights that is.

3x9 is a snug fit!

The fog lights for the 3rd gen T/A body (even though mine is only a POS V6!) are 3inches tall, and 5-1/2 inches wide, with the lense being only 4-1/2 inches wide.

They don't look 9 inches wide in the bumper

I'll dig around and see what else has similar sized fog lights.

Blue'72 · 03-12-2008, 11:10 PM

Nice job Kevin!!! This got me inspired!

rstewart09 · 03-12-2008, 11:55 PM

Ok, I haven't seen it mentioned, whats up the the truck sitting beside low buck with no gap between the bed and cab. Modified Blazer or trying to imitate a 60's Ford with an integrated cab?

Well dang, I clear missed that one, you just have too much going to keep track of. Amazing.

NTR72GMC · 03-19-2008, 10:55 PM

Wow I Love How The Interior Turned Out It Looks Great.

SchreinerM · 03-20-2008, 09:18 PM

Truck looks great! I love the picture of your little guy sleeping away in the passenger seat.

Rokcrln · 03-22-2008, 07:27 AM

Not much new but I have been driving the truck daily and so far not even a glitch. My company car was rear ended (not with me driving

) so for a few weeks LowBuck is my only driver

I got the center caps today so I thru them on but I still need to paint the rims one of these days. I was able to replace all the lug nuts with out havein to pull out the floor jack so it went quick. I also stopped by the shop last week and left a little mark as my Boss was standing by

Where did you get the conversion lugs, and about how much where they?

Way to, leave your signature

texanidiot25,... The conversion lugs can usually be found on ebay. I just emailed the company and purchased them over the phone. Eliminates all the bidding. Search ebay,... buy direct.

hgs_notes · 03-22-2008, 04:29 PM

So then, is this project pretty much done? Outside of the wheel painting anyway. It's one hell of a nice DD.

Rokcrln · 03-22-2008, 05:20 PM

Yes their is just wheel painting and Line-X left to do on this one.

The number that Tripp gave is one of the E-bay listers and they were about $75 delivered with lugs, caps and cap lugs.

Thanks, I think your wrong but it's your opnion

I feel the trim adds that stock look to the truck (even know it's 68 trim on a 70) but still gives it that edge of custom.
