Today I will work on the heater controls and heater box valve. Heat is pouring in and that is not cool in the summer!

tsali39 · 07-17-2012, 06:33 AM

I would love to restore this one!

tsali39 · 07-18-2012, 07:59 AM

Wish list.....

tsali39 · 07-18-2012, 07:56 PM

Wish list continues. Tomorrow I will begin gathering items for the glove box sound system. I plan on using items I have already and sub out components as time goes by.
I an wondering if a remote CD play will work with the glove box shut. I will get a boom tube and a couple of speakers to set in behing the seat for the time being. Caps are in route and Rally wheels are painted and ready for clear coat. Trim rings will be purchased tomorrow. Caddy tail lights would really look great!

They are not mine....yet. My wrench says he can do this mod.

Jeremy69 · 07-19-2012, 09:14 PM

Something else I have seen that looks pretty cool, is the cadi lights in a newer step side bed.

tsali39 · 07-25-2012, 07:12 PM

Rockers coming along.

tsali39 · 07-26-2012, 10:14 PM

Caps came in today and look great. I am now searching for the correct lug bolts that will fit and work. Progress on the build is at a stand still.

tsali39 · 07-28-2012, 03:29 PM

Truck is still at body shop. All I can do is rattle can paint objects.

tsali39 · 08-02-2012, 09:35 PM

Betty comes home tomorrow. Pictures at 11.

NewType72 · 08-03-2012, 02:28 PM

We had a massive thunder storm here raining out pics! I will take some tomorrow as I will drive the truck to Winston to meet my son.

NewType72 · 08-03-2012, 08:39 PM

tsali39 · 08-05-2012, 01:37 PM

My truck sat in a shop for 8 1/2 weeks and came out in worse shape. The carb rebuild has failed and cold starts are now

impossible. One of four panels were welded. I did get my parking brake cables installed!

tsali39 · 08-05-2012, 01:39 PM

More photos of Betty.

tsali39 · 08-05-2012, 01:41 PM

I found a way to keep the window from rattling.

NewType72 · 08-06-2012, 12:34 PM

Man I'd have them in a damn knot for that kind of progress what a complete failure on their part as a shop. Sorry man :/

The cure for the common cold.

NewType72 · 08-09-2012, 01:47 AM

tsali39 · 08-10-2012, 10:27 AM

Took Betty to a cruise inn last night. None of my friends were there! Still had fun and the ugliest truck there.

67Run · 08-10-2012, 11:03 AM

Houch · 08-10-2012, 11:27 AM

Thanks Greg and 67. It amazes me how hard it is to find anyone who will do any work on these trucks. Lots of talk and no action. In the time my truck sat in a shop this summer I could have completed a welding class! Meanwhile I need to get my old awful bumper and get my roll pan ready!

tsali39 · 08-10-2012, 08:39 PM

Goodbye High School shop made bumper!
