Thanks guys, winter or no winter, I've been driving the hell out it!

redbaron · 12-29-2014, 07:19 PM

I sure like your pickup. Really glad you use it. They just go to waste and waste away if not.

sboris · 12-30-2014, 08:33 PM

Thx man. I've really been enjoying it. I've had trucks in the past that were parked all winter. I hated it...

coopdog · 12-31-2014, 11:37 AM

Very nice truck

dirtwork · 01-01-2015, 12:00 PM

Love this truck. Very nice work!

**CUSTOM/10** · 01-01-2015, 12:32 PM

Hey Shawn:

First time visiting your build thread. I've always loved the pictures of your truck, and what an awesome job you did building it.

Gary

sboris · 01-02-2015, 03:05 PM

Thank you all. Looking forward to you guys's done pics

msgross · 02-02-2015, 09:36 PM

Very nice build, can't believe I missed it... Same color as mine... I'm a bit stalled but just built a new shop so hopefully I'll get back at it this spring.

Wow. Twins. Hope you get to it soon. That truck looks really good.

Jud, i really recommend this stuff, $120 for this kit. Easy to use. Although, if doing a steel floor, i would purchase 2 kits for the desired coverage and thickness.
Thx for the compliments guys

Vintage Windmills · 02-02-2015, 09:47 PM

I agree on you doing all the right things on this truck. I really like the tough look and functional and substantial mirrors, tires, etc!

What material did you line the bed with?

sboris · 02-02-2015, 10:07 PM

My snow pics yesterday.

garmar · 02-21-2015, 07:51 PM

Must be a pleasure driving that beauty around. Nicely done.

tim's68gmc · 03-24-2015, 03:42 PM

very nice truck, really like the dark green color.

check out my build:http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=659403

sboris · 03-25-2015, 05:24 PM

Thankyou! It's been a blast. Started teaching my girl the ropes of driving it. Grinning ear to ear

. The green is factory color, but also turns out to be my favorite.

sboris · 05-26-2015, 12:11 PM

Got my period correct CARR steps on the other day. Made the wife happy. No more jerking on the door..
Everything going well, couple knick knack things to do. Had to tighten the power steer belt to eliminate a squeel.
Motor had a leak, turned out to be the plastic gasket on the magnetic drain plug grrr. I put the original back in .. Dry as a bone.

sboris · 05-26-2015, 12:14 PM

Storm came through the other night. Did a number on my old barn. Didnt touch the shop with the trucks inside.. Whew!!!

RThree · 05-27-2015, 12:14 PM

Man im bummed I missed this build! She is beautiful!

Im doing a C/20 to K/30 on my '72 Longhorn right now! Putting all 1ton running gear in it with a 6" lift. This is some great inspiration!

sboris · 05-27-2015, 06:03 PM

Thx man. Will check yours out. Sounds cool. Only thing better than a k/20 i guess would have to be a k/30 and longhorn to boot!!

collin70k/20 · 06-10-2015, 05:10 PM

The truck is absolutely amazing! Did everything right in my opinion. Very beautiful truck.

harrisoncole4 · 09-23-2015, 04:06 PM

This is an amazing build! I've never been much of a green vehicle fan but it looks great on this truck

sboris · 09-23-2015, 08:59 PM

Thanks for the compliments. Will win over all the green haters eventually! lol.

I'm sure whatever mirror you use, it will look bad to the bone. I scrolled back up and looked yours over, gotta say I'm partial to those jr's that's on it

.
How's the progress on your short bed?
