Re: High School Project Build
Making an automatic column out of a straight column and trying to keep all the pieces in order. Not to bad - just change inner tube, drill 2 hole in bottom for the bearing holder, mount gear selector and pointer - then you're ready to go. We are keeping the original dark blue column, door panels and I think I have a dark blue square bodied seat thats just been reupholstered that is being give to us (I'll know next week)

Re: High School Project Build
I'm trying to get this truck finished up in my spare time. I don't have much - cause it's been in my garage for a long time, maybe I'll get it done by the time school is out to. It's got my old 5.3 and 4L60e that came out of my green 68' when it got a warmed over lq9 and 4L80e

Re: High School Project Build
The boys have been working on vent window rubbers for two days. It been fun watching them get frustrated and having to tear them back down to get em put back right. I should of had them take detailed pictures instead of trusting they would remember how it went back together

Re: High School Project Build
What is the part # on that radiator, and did they custom make the LS style, or do they offer it? Couldn't find it on the website, which was running pretty slow for me.

Re: High School Project Build
Well, good news. We are gonna have to pull the transmission to straighten a bent prong on the electrical plug in. We have worked for two hours using a mirror and various tools with no luck.

Re: High School Project Build
Well we didn't have to pull transmission We let it down enough to get to the plug better so that we could get the pin straight

Re: High School Project Build
Our Vintage Air showed up Friday evening. It came through Barry at B&B Motorsports, he worked it through Vintage Air, it wasn't free - but it was mighty close. I've bought several units from Barry - he is top notch. Thanks guys
