I did some surveying tonight and I think I have my fuel system mounting and routing solution. I need to build a bracket and get a few more fittings, but I think that part is figured out! Took a couple of pics with the hood on. Might put the bed on tomorrow, if so, I'll post more pics... laters for know!

You are really moving on this truck! I LIKE IT!

Bennett68C10 · 06-07-2012, 09:16 PM

get that bed on I want to see some pictures lol

C10_ustacould · 06-07-2012, 11:36 PM

Did some work with the fuel delivery tonight, pics included. Need to build the return line and install cushion clips. Once the rear portion is done, should be Saturday, I will put the bed on.

C10_ustacould · 06-09-2012, 05:11 PM

Ok, I love those wheels and caps. They look like 96-02 Astro caps. What holds them on? Are those 15" rally wheels? I would love to have a set like that!

You are correct they are 96-02 Astro caps on 15x7 front and 15x8 rear rallies. I used factory S10/Astro lug nuts and the black covers hold the cap on. I really like them and I think they will look better when I add deep trim rings.

Did you do an axle swap to your original '68 6-lug rearend?
Or swap to a 71-72 rearend?

I did the axle swap using ECE axles and upgraded the rear brakes to the larger 11.160 X 2.75 drums. I have a 70 rear end (longer version) with 5 lug axles too, but I think this one is going to work fine.

Bennett68C10 · 06-09-2012, 10:29 PM

Truck looks great Buck, I love it

It looks like my buddies will be complete by this weekend! A friend of mine and I were talking and he asked about my seats. I told him that I was having trouble finding an upholsterer that would assemble them for a good price and he just laughed. Now, I've known this guy for 25 years so his response to my problem had me wondering WTH? So he says, why don't you call my cousin who does upholstery? I said I didn't know you had a cousin that does upholstery! Well, he does and hopefully I will have a set of fully assembled Buddies by the weekend!
