Alright guys, couple of questions.

1. What kind of luck have you had with carpet from brothers, LMC etc. Should I get from there or have a local upholstry shop do it to ensure fit and size.

2. Should I put vent windows in first on door glass first when I reassemble the doors?

I personally like the carpet by TrimParts. It fit nicely and only required a little trimming. They even make one that's long enough to cover the old gas tank location for those that take the stock tank out of the cab.

As for the glass... I haven't done it in a C/10 yet, but I'd suggest putting the vent window in first, but leave it loose. You could put the door glass in after, but you'll have to get it completely inside the door to turn it and put it in the run channel. You could probably set the door glass in the bottom of the door first, but I'd be very careful not to damage the door glass when putting the vent window in.

Just my thoughts. I'm sure there are people who have done it and could tell you a better way.

Have you unmasked the dash yet? I'm curious how it looks without the paper. Everything's looking good! Keep it up.

Glad you like them. Price is about $100 or so Better than racelines probably 150 intro. The quality is probably not as good but they are really close. I'm super happy with them

5.5 front 5.75 rear. I have the wider factory rear end still.

[Bennett68C10]

Those are very nice

[knomadd]

Nice wheels!

[67ctener]

Gonna be sick! I wanted us mags but they were out of my budget, an awesome wheel that I haven't seen on these yet.

[olrosa]

Glad you guys like it. Havn't done alot to post about last couple days. Did get some Valve covers that 67Cheby suggested to me from PML. So I need to paint those then I can post some pictures. I hoping 30 days it will start to ook like a truck again

Just giving you a hard time

[eightbanger]

Watching.

I know. I don't want to copy what you had. Problem is that pops 72 was legit

[olrosa]

Little update...
PML valve covers dialed in and vintage air front runner system installed. Also got the rear end from powder coat and installed

[screaminchevypickup]

Looking good!

[superflysteiny]

Engine looks great

Only thing I regret on pops is the rear bed fenders other then that I loved the truck.

[knomadd]

That frontrunner stands out nicely with the orange engine... Looks great!

[olrosa]

Thank you everyone. I haven't got a lot done because I'm so busy at work. I'm so excited to get this thing finished. Hopefully the cab can go back on soon so it looks like progress. Haha

[lolife99]

Love the valve covers from PML.
What do you plan to do for a PCV valve?
I didn't see them drilled in the pics.
