They offer bedliners in a lot of colors, but I don't think "patina" is one of them...

CoggedBelt75 · 10-07-2009, 10:56 PM

Much cleaner so you can haul more groceries

72BlckButy · 10-07-2009, 10:56 PM

If you go with rallies you can always get a custom set made that is wider than the 8" ones. Truck is looking wicked by the way, I really want to come out there and see it.

my67chevytruck · 10-08-2009, 11:59 AM

looking good!

Part of me want to say those were wider than 15 x 10 from the size of those tubs. Do they make anything bigger?

big_al_71 · 10-08-2009, 10:02 PM

nsuengineer06 · 10-09-2009, 11:17 AM

I am lovin this truck!

Can you tell me what these clamps are called? I've been trying to find some and have no idea what they're called or where to get them.

FRENCHBLUE72 · 10-09-2009, 11:18 AM

I got mine at harbor freight

nsuengineer06 · 10-09-2009, 11:25 AM

Frenchblue, did I ask you about them before? I know I asked one of the board members, but I couldn't find them at harbor freight online. Guess I'll have to go to the store.

The week of Thanksgiving.

Here's some more pictures. I cleaned the chassis up a little before I put the bed back on. I also took a couple of shots of the cab corners, I can't believe how pristine they are....

*Dylan · 10-10-2009, 02:06 PM

Those do look clean! Are you taking the 68 to Moultrie? Me and my dad go there every time they do the swap meet, just not sure when it's going on this year. If so, I'll probably end up seeing you up there.

nicolas72gmc · 10-10-2009, 03:32 PM

Rob, great job!! I love the bed liner! So it is hooking up better now with the 3.73's and posi? I was really just checking in to see what wheels you have on there now. I know how you and Albert are!!!

Seriously, the truck is looking awesome brotha!
