George, don't get to attached to having a glove box. As soon as the Vintage air goes in the glove box comes out and does not go back in.

The truck is really looking nice!

I finally got the C50 on the road by the way. I may have a line on a set of fenders for my rear flares.

It was a card board first, fiber glass over the card board and then re-moved the card board after it set. fits good and will hold up for many years,

gdavis · 12-20-2014, 02:10 AM

swamp rat thanks and you too have a very merry Christmas
Dave I know about the glove box, I will have to shave it down a little and hopping it will work. If not oh well.
Scott thanks for stopping by and you and your family have a very merry Christmas

George, that's great way to fix the weak glove box! Was it tough getting it back in when it was done? Did you bring it in from the back or the front? I may do my C50's that way. Regrettably the Vintage Air install does not leave much space left. I used my space for the amp for the radio. Ill send you a pic later.

So glad you truck is coming along, I forget is your engine/trans ready to drop in?

It comes in from the back, A piece of cake. The hard thing is to remove the old card board. That took me a while.

The engine and transmission has been in the truck for over a year now. been holding off buying a carb. I don't want gas to set in the bowl and gum up so I haven't got the carb. It was the same as the tires and wheels. Setting there for three years would not be good on the tires, DRY rot

gdavis · 12-22-2014, 03:40 AM

Yesterday it rained and today also and the same until Christmas. So I did not get anything done on the ole girl. That is what I deal with here is Florida, But at least it isn't snowing like up north

**Bowtie468** · 12-22-2014, 11:14 PM

George, the truck is looking great. You do nice work my friend.
