Thanks for the input Wes.

Well we got a little bit more done on the firewall today. Finished shaving it and adding the piece to make it more cimetrical. Ordered the manifold for the "Old Air" A/C.

Youare making great progress WESS

**Ol Blue K20** · 09-29-2021, 08:16 AM

Looks good!

Steadily working at it. Got started on the behind the rear marker lamp filler for the Boyde tank. I am going with the full 2" neck so the tank fills rapidly. Bit of a job and tight quarters but should fill better than the 1 3/8" Blazer fill. Just need to button it up now. WES

Flip for ya.
Looks Great.

Nice work on the marker light fuel filler!

**Ol Blue K20** · 10-07-2021, 09:30 PM

I like it too! It's very clean looking.

**Classic Heartbeat** · 10-08-2021, 12:55 AM

We got a little further along with the behind the side marker filler. Should be mounting the door tomorrow.

**Classic Heartbeat** · 10-09-2021, 02:04 AM

More progress on the gas filler.. This is working out great.

**Classic Heartbeat** · 10-10-2021, 09:58 PM

Getting closer to finishing the gas filler conversion.

**Classic Heartbeat** · 10-13-2021, 06:23 PM

Little more progress to report. The gas filler hole has been filled and stake pockets shaved.

**Classic Heartbeat** · 10-14-2021, 09:53 PM

Not a lot to report on the Tribute Truck today. Just cleaning up some random holes and boxing the bed cross sill that I cut to fit the Boyde gas tank.

**Ol Blue K20** · 10-14-2021, 10:32 PM

It's looking great.

**'68OrangeSunshine** · 10-14-2021, 10:45 PM

Getting there, bit by bit.

**Classic Heartbeat** · 10-21-2021, 11:18 AM

The cab is getting close to being bodyworked. Probably another day and it will be. Spent most of the day cutting all the holes needed for a cargo light and headliner.

**Classic Heartbeat** · 10-22-2021, 10:52 AM

Couple more pictures.

**Classic Heartbeat** · 11-04-2021, 10:24 PM

Time to fix the left rocker.. Well and everything else I found under it.

**Ol Blue K20** · 11-05-2021, 08:50 AM

That looks like fun, I'm sure you'll get it done...it's gonna be a a nice truck.

**Classic Heartbeat** · 11-05-2021, 11:14 AM

Thank you. Ya, been here before. I am glad I decided to the rockers as a matter of maintenance. The rockers weren't bad, but with the paint going on, I didn't want the rust to appear after it was done.

**'68OrangeSunshine** · 11-05-2021, 02:44 PM

The rockers on my '68 Stepside are shot. Can't blame a PO. I did it. As a 20-something I splashed in the surf at San Diego and Daytona -- both coasts. I was young and indestructable and so was my truck. By 2021 I'd be flying a Hovercar anyway.

71meangreenc10 · 11-05-2021, 08:55 PM

Great job Wes!!!

Keep up the good work.

Smitty

**Classic Heartbeat** · 11-05-2021, 10:18 PM

A little more progress done on Beth's Tribute Truck. The left side of the cab is done now.

**Classic Heartbeat** · 11-05-2021, 10:21 PM
