Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
That look really nice! I'm trying to talk my wife into the black and white hound's tooth inserts because the vinyl gets hot as a blowtorch in the California sun. She wants the original black CST brocade, but I'm not doing it. Originality be damned, given the scorch factor.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
This is common with pics taken with a phone. I also have had some that looked right in the saved pic folder on the computer but were turned sideways when posted in a thread. To correct it I open the pic in that pic folder and click edit, then rotate it 360* and save it. It will be correct the next time I post it. I always click the "preview post" button before submitting a post with a picture to ensure it is oriented correctly.
What I do is open the pic and select edit. I guess it depends on what photo viewer you use as to how you would edit the pic. As for your pics I right clicked on yours then clicked save them to a pic folder on my pc then opened the pics individually and click edit, then clicked rotate 90* and exit the pic. Before closing the pic it asks me if I want to save the changes made which I do. Then I repost your pics in the correct orientation. I'm no techy. This is just how I figured out how to do it. ![]()

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Special order . No paint codes anywhere but I had the interior guned by my paint guy. Came back as Placer gold part of the Husky package that University Chevrolet in Seattle offered . Outside has had a repaint and they used Ochre but the inside of the bed firewall and interior are the original .
In the pic dash looks dark because of the lighting . The kickpanel is more accurate as to color

I freshened up some 67 P01 wheel covers. The far right is an original I got off member “Already Gone”.

Drove to OKC and picked up a new bed box for the stepside project. Great place and easy pickup.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Cool !! Are you gonna do a build thread with assembly details? If so I'm in for watching. Are you using new fenders or your originals?

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
You guys are funny, the **** you have been able to accomplish is unreasonable in my bosses eyes.
I went to the eye doctor, called in sick to work. Told my boss I have an eye problem. He asked "what exactly is going on?" i replied, i just cant see myself working for you today. This **** has gone on long enough! |

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Installed a rear shock relocator kit and went for a test drive. The rear end feels noticeably more stable and planted when hitting rough sections of road.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Added a new air breather. Though I do like the stock look of the original, I like the sound better of the new one. It's not like I can look at the stock cleaner driving down the road but I can hear the new one suck in more air - especially when the Quadrajet kicks in when I go WOT!
Zoom! PS: I think the previous owner lost the Air Cleaner rod (its a 1/4 20) that is 6 inches. It had to be really loose on the carb to even get a bite on the stock cleaner wing nut. The new one, no joy at all on getting a bite. O'Riley's didn't have anything and Lowe's only had the same 6 inch rod. So I bought that 6 inch road and a bag of couplers for some shade tree engineering. I sawed off the new rod from Lowes, put the rods together with a coupler, added extra nuts on either side with loctite it keep things from coming loose. It kind of looks "nuts" under the cover but as you can see I actually now have a bit of rod sticking up (before on the stock it was barely flush).

Thinking about mocking the bed together to verify all fitment before hitting it with epoxy primer. I’m going to use a really great set of original rear fenders. No dents and no rust. Just wish they were 67’s.
