The carpet looks great. Which supplier did you pick?

Re: 1962 chevy c10 update.
I used Brothers. They had a sale so that was the deciding factor. I still have to work out that one wrinkle in the hump and cut out my dimmer. It's a little lighter than i wanted but I think it's going to look good with the blue and white seat. Thanks!

Re: 1962 chevy c10 update.
Oh yeah, the Brothers sale motivated me to put in a large order as well... Carpet, Deadner, front fenders...ect
Looking real good, and exceptionally motivating !! Are you gluing it down?

Re: 1962 chevy c10 update.
Thanks to Sharps 40 I installed my door handles today. I also installed my new gas cap, I think it looks good polished instead of painted. It is coming together very slow since i'm so busy with work. I hope the next thing is the seat cover.

Re: 1962 chevy c10 update.
Did my first test drive sine I bought it in Jan 2012. The brakes do not work so that will be the next thing to fix after I get the seat recovered. Since I got it running I did find out I have still a bunch to fix.

Re: 1962 chevy c10 update.
Today I painted and installed my rear bumper today and I also got my front light to work. I almost have all my brake parts together. Still have brake cables and one wheel cylinder on order. I drove the truck again today and took my wife with me. I wish I was finished so we could take it out longer.

Re: 1962 chevy c10 update.
I feel like that I finally made a break thru in my build. I finished the brakes and installed my new wheels and tires! Took it out again for a drive and went to go get gas for it. I had a good time and can't wait to drive it all the time.

Re: 1962 chevy c10 update.
What a fantastic improvement. Those wheels and caps look great! They really tie the whole truck together.

Re: 1962 chevy c10 update.
Great looking truck John. I just read through your whole thread. Very inspirational for me as I our trucks are very similar except yours started in much better shape than mine.
Would you mind sharing who you used to have your glass installed as I need to do this. My front windshield seal is missing about 4 inches at the bottom and the window has a ton of cracks. You make everything look so easy can't wait to tear mine apart and start on the body work. For now just getting my ready for inspection so I can drive it for awhile. I would be interested in your wheels. I live in Leander. Let me know. Bret

Re: 1962 chevy c10 update.
Thanks! It feels good to get it to this stage. I still have electrical, front bumper( which I'm looking for one) and paint touch up. The white on my roof, bumper and grill picks up all kinds of trash so i'm going to have to repaint it. I wish I had more time so I could get it registered.
