Not much to report. Loads on minor jobs knocked out. Drove it into town just to give it’s a shakedown. Overall a happy guy with the new cab mounts. Next adventure is getting the bed work done so I can install the side trim.

Fix the radio cut out in the dash today, so now I can install the original radio I got from one of the board members.

Thanks. I’m trying to keep it clean. I installed the condenser kit from vintage air and was thinking about installing a under dash kit I have from my suburban but I ordered the vintage air kit. Who knows when I will get it 😄 I already installed the dash vents for it. It’s funny to think I was only setting out to make my work truck a bit nicer and now it’s looking a bit flashy.

Mine is a 67 chevelle wheel and I popped the truck horn button on it. I have done this on a few of my trucks. Works perfectly.

Got the tailgate painted over the weekend.

67C10Step · 10-18-2021, 11:50 AM

Man that color combination is fantastic.

the67Beast · 10-18-2021, 09:52 PM

Coming along slowly, but I am making progress. Got front disc brake conversion almost completed and fitting rear wheels. Still a long way to go before I drive down the road!

Started assembling the short fleet bed kit. Fit together really good. Had to oblong a few holes. Will get to the tailgate in a few days. One picture of the truck with the stepside bed.

Jiggers72-GMC · 10-21-2021, 07:20 AM

Thanks jiggers.enjoying everyday I'm above ground & wrenching on these trucks.

Replaced the cab mounts on my '69 C20. I knew the were compressed, but I didn't realize that they were this bad. I'm also getting ready to replace the dented bedside so I definitely had to do this now so I can line-up the trim on the new one.
