Yes, It's great that your boy want to get involved. My boy had no interest
in cars growing up. And my daughter just wants to know if she can drive it,
When it's done.

Great build man!

Well Spike and Stitch, No I havent installed it as of yet. I must admit I'm a tad intimidated. Plus I been in ohio for a week in training. I only paid 487.00 for my wiring Painless harness from Summit. I'm eventually getting me a vintage air unit. I think it comes with the the a/c harness.

summit the 18 circuit for 67-72 gm trucks is 387.00
the a/c harness 109.00
so 510.oo shipped then mail in rebate of 100.oo
so it be 410.oo for both

My mistake, I meant 387.00. Another reason I haven't started putting my harness together is because I want to get my dash cluster and rear lights. I have alot of electrical componets missing still. My truck was totally gutted when I purchased it. Although I have most of the original pieces, I even had the harness, I decided to go new. Right now, I've been consumed with researching rims and tires.

I changed my mind for the last time!!! I'm going with POL for my brakes. Does anyone have a coupon code??? I need it, making this purchase tomorrow!!! I loved their very thourough website andf the reviews.

VA72C10 · 03-04-2011, 10:56 PM

Cool! Look forward to seeing your plan for the bed!

Thatguy · 03-05-2011, 12:50 PM

I agree 100% on going to the bigger car shows in your area to buy parts. The vendor hauls them there to sell, usually the last day of the show when they are packing up is when I make my best buys, cause they do not really want to haul some of that stuff back! Awesome truck build you have going on!

Orangetonicclicc · 03-05-2011, 01:52 PM

My son and I was up early mock fitting the wood in my bed!!! Alot of adjusting is needed. Plus I'm not exactly 100% sure about the placement of the cross sills. But that's all a easy fix!!!! Headed to Lowe's to see if they can accomodate my super wild idea for my wood. One question? Is there an Expoxy that is UV resistant and that adheres to a laminate????

Orangetonicclicc · 03-05-2011, 01:54 PM

Couple more shots

Orangetonicclicc · 03-05-2011, 01:57 PM

Wow this would looks so great I might just sand this wood down put my fiinish on it put the clear Epoxy and roll with it!!!!!! NAAAAHHHHHH!!!

VA72C10 · 03-05-2011, 02:01 PM

So you're planning to put a laminate on it? Interested to see what you go with and what you find to protect it. I know they make something at Home depot that would go over anything...they had fabric badges, pennies, stickers, on a stained piece of wood in the paint dept. THey had put 10 layers of the stuff on and it looked to be almost 1/8" thick...I would have put less....

**67cheby** · 03-05-2011, 02:12 PM

looking great !! interested in what is coming !!

Well, I want to make my truck look like it's black granite in the bed. So i had this Kooky idea to try a formica or laminate. Been told it is impossible. I want to put a clear epoxy on it but I don't know if there is one that adheres to it. I know I was going to get alot of flack for this on here seeing that i've been getting alot from the old school cats I know personally. I gave up on it a couple years ago, but I've been revitalized in the idea. I'm a creative and visual person, so i can see it in my head!!!! If I pull it off the naysayers will eat their words!!!!! It's just not looking hopeful right now!!!

spike38 · 03-05-2011, 03:45 PM

The bed is going to be sharp!

Spike

Orangetonicclicc · 03-05-2011, 04:23 PM

Well I'm a little stubborn and hardheaded!!!! I've decided to kill that insane idea!!!! Sigh!!! No black foose nitrous rims in 22's and now this. I'll make up for it with my upholstery...headed to get me some sanding materials for my wood and a beautiful red mahogany stain. Going to order me a clear UV resistance epoxy coat to give it that glass look!!!

Well my new disc brake kit made it today!! It's just me and the kids for the next couple of days wife is working. I got a 2 year old daughter. This will be the first time I try and install a brake kit. The rear seem rather easy. The front is another story. POL supplies tie rods, ball joints everything. When I bought the truck the guy had changed all the tie rod's and ball joints out. Seeing that this is a 63-70 Disc brake kit. Will it work? Should I just leave the originals on they are pratically new. Never used.Well at least I have time to reseach this on the forum page. Help me out guys. Little picture to wet your taste buds!!!

pevy's69C10 · 03-10-2011, 03:29 PM

Had a rough two days working on the truck, tried to install my 4 inch drop coils in the back. Bottom bolt heads broke. Top ones striped. Cut passenger side coil out with grinder. Top mounting clamp bolt stripped!!!! Grinder gave up on me!!!! Couldn't find a blade that would cut the coil with my reciprocal saw... Sigh! I've never embarked on something like this. Very mechanically ignorant. Frustration!!!!! A little discouraged but not giving up!!!! If once you fail try try again!!!!!
