And have you thought about a Removable steering Wheel?

If my kids are anything like I was, the keys will definitely be hidden away. Although, times have changed. There’s no forgiveness anymore from the law side of things.

I can’t wait to blend the rockers, add the rest of the trim and polish it, I think she’s really gonna pop.

do you have a paint code you could share with me ?

For sure. Spid says 520. And that’s what I told the ladies at the auto body supply.

YBNORML · 02-14-2021, 02:56 PM

Haven’t updated this thread for months. here’s a few pics from late summer when I had to update appraisals. Not running yet, had to push her around.

YBNORML · 02-14-2021, 03:00 PM

Took the time to line em all up for a few groups shots as well, got the rest of family involved too.

YBNORML · 02-14-2021, 03:07 PM

Now on to progress.

Got the tank cover in and installed the freshly powder coated buddy bucket frame and console.

72’ truck Tilt and aftermarket 15” wheel. Plus a factory tach.

YBNORML · 02-14-2021, 03:14 PM

Had one last look at my buddy’s work before I installed the tank cover. It almost hurts to cover up such nice work.

**zicc1835** · 02-14-2021, 03:18 PM

Very nice stable very nice work ��

**lolife99** · 02-14-2021, 05:17 PM

What’s your opinion of the 15” steering wheel?
Nice quality?
Killer truck.

Thanks.

I like it so far. It’s not spindly and weak like the 17” aftermarket wheels. Or at least they used to be.

The finish looks good as well. I bought one for the K5 as well.

**72 tigger** · 02-14-2021, 10:29 PM

Nice fleet, thanks for sharing

Picked these up today.

I bought the covers from a local supplier and had them installed by a local shop, I’m pretty happy with them, can’t wait to get them in truck tonight.

Interior is basically finished with the exception of some wiring.

Put together a few before and after combo pics.

1Rusty90 · 02-16-2021, 10:47 AM

First time she has left the property since I bought her in September of 2019. Although she looks a little different these days.

Dropped her off at my buddies shop for exhaust.

**Canuckvetter** · 02-17-2021, 01:19 AM

Nice work J. I know most of the fellas that you have chosen to work on this truck and you made good choices. It was my privilege to help where I could with your vision. Although I'm a stock kinda guy this truck is perfect!

Awesome truck!! Did Boris at Street machinery do those bed sides? Unsure if he does them, just seen those a lot on his instagram.

He did not. These were done by a guy up here in Alberta Canada. I’m not sure if Boris does his in house or subs it out. He does have some immensely talented people working for him.
