Re: 72 K30 Build
Almost sounds to me that all they cared about was selling stock on hand rather than make a revised product for a customer, get a deposit and make him wait until he'll accept what we got kinda deal? Irregardless I'm sure it will look great!

Re: 72 K30 Build
I agree with swamp rat. You should get what you paid for unless they are going to give you some type of discount.

Re: 72 K30 Build
That bites! I agree that this is a great looking bed, but you should get what they agreed you were paying for.

Re: 72 K30 Build
It does look nice but it does stink you didn't get what you wanted in the end.

Flatbed update; Funny thing is that we haven’t actually paid a deposit and I still haven’t accepted the bed yet as of this morning. Earlier when it first came in our salesman was very eager to transport it to the vendor who’s slated to do the install. With my experience with these guys so far, I told him we appreciated it but didn’t want to move it until I could inspect and verify. A week ago from this last Friday (6/30), that’s when the pics were taken I told him that I wasn’t 100% sure that we’d accept the bed. Still waiting to hear what they are going to do to make it right. Informed the salesman a few days ago that we can make the bed work by reconfiguring our fuel tank, also suggested that we could cut the tool boxes off but I’d need them taken off the total price? Glued on some weather stripping using tape to hold it in place over night, worked like a charm. Time to adjust and build out the doors.

It's looking very nice Brett! Glue on door seals? Sheesh. I wouldn't go back to them since I got my push on ones.

Re: 72 K30 Build
Wow, that is coming together very nicely! I know you probably have a list T's to cross but you have to be very close to the finish line now - probably get there before I do

Re: 72 K30 Build
That looks great! Yeah, you could use them for mock up before paint and remove them and reinstall them. That white makes everything look perfect.

Thanks Ryan! The big Vanilla Ice Cream Sandwich makes a nice contrast to the parts bolted on her.

The local stores general manager got CM to authorize free tool boxes, that’s about a $600 discount off our bill! Cha-Ching! ![]()

Flatbed update; It’s go time now we own it, went down last Friday to conclude business and arrange the transportation of the bed to our install vendor (no charge to us). Next stop was Semi Service to make sure that we’re on their schedule. Wanted to meet the service department representative and get an idea of how things are going to work. http://www.semiservice.com

Re: 72 K30 Build
I appreciate your really kind words flashed, thank you!
Thanks $20071k10! We kept all the parts used through this build as either a 72 or 84 Chevrolet/GMC, so it’s an 84 Blazer/Suburban 31-gallon w/large neck. Page’s 16-17 of the build covers the fuel tank mockup here’s a link to part numbers in post #400. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...&postcount=400 There was an epic fuzzy battle that took place and I’ll say the fuzzy put up a good fight! ![]()

Re: 72 K30 Build
That all looks pristine! I had the same issues when I put my doors together on my 72. I was really nervous trying not to scratch the paint getting the new, bad wiper off. What a bad deal. Haha

What is this?? I'm gone for a measly two months and when I come back, you've done built the whole truck.
![]() ![]() For real though, it's looking fantastic. Also love your method for bleeding the brakes, I'll remember that next time ![]()

Re: 72 K30 Build
That was nice of them. How do those repop ones fit? I've never used one yet.

Re: 72 K30 Build
I thought it fit great to the repop surround it went in, very tight, my thumbs are still sore from installing the plastic clips!
![]() Yes, the K30’s getting its face! Used all original OEM brackets behind the surround and grill. Riveted it in place with a new install kit, I’ve got no complaints about the repop stuff. LMC did offer to send another grill after they saw the pics. After waiting a couple days and getting out my best grills it seemed the quickest solution was to do a quick repair on the new grill rather than wait for another to arrive.

Re: 72 K30 Build
That's great the outer fits great! I've wondered how they actually did. The price isn't bad when you think how many hours you'll have in straightening and polishing an OEM one. I have over 40hrs in the one for my 72 and it isn't done yet. It won't be going on it now either due to my front bumper. Guess I have to find another truck to put it on. Haha
