Sweet! I'm a fan of slot mags, but the wide whites are a good look too

On the pictures, you can either rotate them on your computer, or if you're uploading directly from your phone, just make sure you have your phone oriented the same way you took the first pics in your last two posts. On my phone, I have to turn the phone sideways with the top pointed left and the bottom pointed right

Finaly got to pull this old girl out and see the full side profile. Gotta say, I'm very happy with how it all came together and turned out! Several more things that I need to get squared away/buttoned up, but being able to see it out in the sun is hugely motivating.

MikeN · 03-03-2022, 11:01 AM

Nice!

Slammed96 · 05-26-2022, 08:57 PM

Little bit of an update on this old girl. Slowly shes getting buttoned back together. Got her over to 456 Chevy and had them put all new rubber and weather seals, as well as a new windshield. Also got the seat redone and reinstalled. Strongly considering lowering brackets for that. Tailgate is on, fits like poo, but I dont think I'll be opening and closing it a ton, so oh well. I did manage to score a pig nose hood that may or may not wind up on this truck in the future. Still debating on fixing it and using it on this truck, or leaving it be and throwing it onto my orange truck...

MikeN · 05-27-2022, 08:56 AM

Sweet

**62bagger** · 05-27-2022, 07:49 PM

Nice work. the seat looks great.

Slammed96 · 01-10-2023, 08:02 PM

More updates! Got the truck together enough to have it in my wedding! Got some great family photos with it that I'll try not to bore you all with. I also scored another pig nose hood, which I decided to paint and modify for the truck. Redid the entire clutch/flywheel setup due to having engagement issues, and figured I'd add a mondo shifter while it was apart because I was getting tired of having to lean down every time I changed gears.

I also was able to make it out to a couple shows last fall and had a blast finally driving it. Added a few more little touches, and now that it's winter I've begun work on a bed floor for it so that I can stop pelting the back of the cab with rocks when I'm rolling down the highway.

**62bagger** · 01-10-2023, 09:41 PM

Nice work!

**cwcarpenter98** · 01-10-2023, 11:49 PM

Sweet! Congrats on the wedding and getting the truck running for it!

Braunschweiger · 01-11-2023, 04:13 AM

Changes the whole dynamic drastically and I absolutely love it! Also got some 6x9 brackets mounted in the cab so I can have some tunes once I finally am able to start cruising.

Love the stance, what size wheels and tires.?

Great looking truck!!!!

joesscamaro · 01-11-2023, 11:39 AM

I like the look of the truck with all your modifications. Congrats on getting it on the road and enjoying it and congrats on the wedding!

MikeN · 01-11-2023, 03:04 PM

Great truck, always enjoy your updates

Slammed96 · 01-11-2023, 08:51 PM

Thanks guys! It's definitely been a journey getting it this far.

Thanks! They're 235/70/15s all around. Front rubs a bit on hard corners and dips, but otherwise they work pretty well.

Slammed96 · 05-11-2023, 01:04 PM

I really need to get better about updating this thread. Quick catch up: got the bed all squared away and finished up. Also redid the fuel filler to work out of an old jerry can that I've had laying around forever and a day. Finally getting to put miles on this old girl and I love it!
