Re: 1969 Olive Stepper
Woo Hoo! Got her running tonight! Hit off on the first try. That never happens to me. But I was trying to be extra prepared so I could get that cam shaft and lifters broken in. (man that was the longest 20 minutes of my life) Kept waiting for something to pop. But went very well. Let her cool down than I changed the oil, set the timing and let her run bit more. Very smooth and quiet. Just how I like em! Got a drip coming from my lower heater core hose. Hopefully it just the connection and not the new heater core (That would Suck!) Got the mirrors on tonight and picked up my inner door panels. So I should have the side glass in soon!

Re: 1969 Olive Stepper
Love the truck, love the color. Same color as my 1971 Cheyenne. I would love to find a truck like yours with a straight six.
Keep up the awesome work. |

Re: 1969 Olive Stepper
Thanks Guys. I promise to post the Paint code as soon as I get it. The painters giving me the left over paint. It is aPPG two stage color and we had a hard time finding it.
Heres a few pics of my seatbelts. I ordered 3 Point retractables from Seatbelt solutions with New 69 GM buckles and latches installed at no extra charge. (From seatbelt solutions.) I also got a center lap belt made. Im pretty happy, since I wasnt happy about using non originals to begin with. But gotta think of my sons safety first!

Re: 1969 Olive Stepper
Did you do anything with the gauge cluster. Besides clean it up.

Re: 1969 Olive Stepper
Hey Blkcovair, who did your sticker for the glovebox door. My son thought it would be cool when we get new one to do it as the truck is now with all the new parts and paint. Thanks

Re: 1969 Olive Stepper
