Re: HuggerCST's '70 SWB CST build
I got some work done this week. To start off, I took the front cap back off so that I could finish up a few things before the final assembly. I finished up the brake lines and now have brakes again since swapping to disc on the front. Then I dissasembled and changed the color of my dash to match the seats, swapped out the column and steering wheel, and just got a few minor things cleaned up and finished. I tried to install my windshield, but my help cracked it for me. Oh well, now I'll just get the glass company to come out and put a new one in. Then I tried to put in my rear glass, but my rubber seal was split. Hopefully it will start coming together soon.

Re: HuggerCST's '70 SWB CST build
I just saw this and your truck looks great! I'm re-doing mine also but with a red/white combo. What color of white do you have? I know there is several shades of white and I can't decide what would look the best. Any recomendations? Thanks

Re: HuggerCST's '70 SWB CST build
Sorry it took me so long, I kept forgetting to look at the paint code. It's code 521 pure linen white. It's supposed to be the same as original. I think the bright white looks good against orange or red.

Re: HuggerCST's '70 SWB CST build
Which drop spindles did you end up going with? Trying to figure out if I need to do the modular CPP ones to pull the front wheels in...

Re: HuggerCST's '70 SWB CST build
The final push is on to get it done by October. I've been working on it for the last week and made some progress, but still have a lot to finish. I got most of the trim on, and I must say that I am impressed with this trim. I got it from Kingsparts (Goodmark), a few years ago. I also got the guts and glass in the driver's door. I had some bad spots in the paint on the driver side fender and the passenger door, so I decided to repaint them before I put the trim on them. I also got my headers and air cleaner on (now I need to find some nice valve covers), and I got my radio in an working along with a few other things here & there. Next is wiring up the LED tail lights.

Re: HuggerCST's '70 SWB CST build
Thanks! A little more progress has been made. I finally finished the fuel filler and LED tail lights, along with a few other things. I still haven't filled the tank yet though.

Re: HuggerCST's '70 SWB CST build
It has a throttle spring mounted at a angle so that it holds it closed, and when you open it, the spring cams over and holds it open. This is the best pic that I could get of it. You can see where the spring hooks into the light housing in the bottom pic, just below my finger.

Re: HuggerCST's '70 SWB CST build
Bed floor done, with hidden bed mounting bolts. This is white oak, with a little stain on it to bring the grain out, and about 5 coats of Helmsman spar urethane.
