yeah right, my made up excuse would be that a bus load of Hawaiian Tropic bikini girls broke down on my street and I had to not only fix their bus, but offer them lodging!

oh yeah, my wife is spending the weekend with her sister at the beach, that part is true though! i'm pulling Mr. Mom duties this weekend.

aw man that stinks!

**Dieselwrencher** · 05-20-2010, 05:10 PM

Have a nice quiet weekend doing the honey-do's.

You'll have plenty of time for the truck later. That is what I always hear anyway.

msgross · 05-21-2010, 12:21 AM

I am planning on visiting my cabinet guy on Saturday to order the bed wood... he quoted $330 a few years ago, let's see if that changed.

abebummy26 · 06-10-2010, 01:50 PM

I really need to get pictures of my neighbor's truck its a 68 chevy C30. Its same color as yours 327 4bbl 4 speed pretty sure its original paint. Needs Cab corners and rockers otherwise pretty clean. Stake bed with extended wheel base. It used to be a power company truck. Be a good truck to upgrade to a k30 some day. Its a 3 owner truck.

silver7 · 06-10-2010, 04:41 PM

Well, my cabinet builder called me with a $425 quote for oak, two years ago he gave me a $330 quote... looks like i'll be doing the Mar-K oak setup unless I come accross something else. I sold the NOS wood that I had, maybe I should have kept it.

Thanks, I can't find the time to get on mine right now...

67chevy1series · 06-19-2010, 06:01 AM

well when you find the time lets see some progress

msgross · 06-21-2010, 06:54 PM

picked up a pass side NOS headlight bezel on Ebay... now I need a good drivers side. After payday i'm gonna pick up a new painless wiring harness...

sourkraut · 06-21-2010, 09:39 PM

who are you going to gt your harness from? i had just opened up my pass thru hole and drilled the bolt holes for mine tonight. you wont be dissapointed with you choice. just make sure you measure and check the template before you cut!! mine was way off!

msgross · 06-21-2010, 09:41 PM

I'm gonna do summit I guess. NAPA wanted $410 + tax... $387 is about the cheapest i've seen + their "handling charge". Once you finish wiring let me know, you can use my new father's day multimeter to do mine!

jegs was .50 more. that is cool what kind of meter did you get? i love electronics(tools)! i actually ended up getting a chain saw

. my old one took a dump and had rented a chipper shredder for the weekend and had to have one! the rate i am going it might be awhile till i need it!

if you need any engine work or anything along those lines gettles in lebanon is supposed tto be very good. several people have given me there name, i have them making me a driveshaft. i was going to find one but there were none long enough with the right end yoke with out lengthing it. so he said he could make me one with all new parts for $200+- $20. just someone to keep in mind.

hey i wanted to show you what all came in the powerbraid chassis kit to help you decide with rebate. not trying to screw up your thread but want you to see how nice it is. the braid is very fleaxble and does not kink like the old wire loom. hope it helps you.

msgross · 06-21-2010, 10:09 PM

cool, I got a craftsman 11 function auto ranging with temp probe... damn thing didn't come with a case or roach clips though. On sale for $45 and it has a night light! I have some Leave planned in the next few months so maybe i'll find the garage... yeah right!

sourkraut · 06-21-2010, 10:19 PM

sucks right! i just keep telling myself the truck will always be there and the kids wont. probably does not help much cause i think i know the sick feeling you get every time you walk thru the garage. oh well i think sometimes the anticipate is the best part?

my67chevytruck · 06-22-2010, 07:33 AM

Hang in there Mike. there are other priorities besides the truck. but atleast your thinking about the truck and continuing to stock pile parts. The shop time will come.

67chevy1series · 06-24-2010, 01:41 AM

wish i could find stuff like that

keep an eye out, i wish I could find a matching one. The last one I bought from Ebay was not as the seller described, he refunded my money though.

67chevy1series · 12-19-2010, 08:14 PM

well what have you done to the truck

msgross · 06-26-2010, 09:46 AM

thanks John, that's a lot of wire loom... i'll order mine next week, are you going to run under dash lights? They have an $80 harness that I found...

sourkraut · 06-26-2010, 10:30 PM

not sure yet, some low light from under the dash would be nice at night. if i do, when i get to that point i can just grab a spare circuit or piggy back on to another circuit. i will not use all 18 circuits with out having to many accessories. might make a little ciruit board with a couple leds on it or something for just a little bit of light.

msgross · 06-27-2010, 11:03 AM

I think the underdash harness comes with door pins so it only works when you open the doors...

some LED's sound cool though...
