Re: LVPhotos 1962 Build
What are you doing for your 2 piece drive-shaft? I'm have the porterbuilt installed in my 61 right now and need to make the swap to a 2 piece also.

Re: LVPhotos 1962 Build
Seems my local Job has ended and now I have to get to Utah for some 12s. Guess I will have to bank some cash and get more goodies when I get back. Stay tuned! Some local truck and junk yard shopping is a must.

Re: LVPhotos 1962 Build
Hookers. 67-72 truck. Did not clear stock clutch arm and tight on driver side. Maybe they need to heat up to burn off coating left overs but not impressed overall with coating. My Patriots at half the cost looked better out the box.

Re: LVPhotos 1962 Build
Hey there...couple of questions for you.
I too, have a 62 and love your grill. I take it that it's chromed steel, yes? Did you have it chromed? If so, who and how much? I have a spare steel one that I need to get chromed. Also, your front fenders, it would appear you bought aftermarket replacements. Who from and how did they fit?? Thanks in advance...love your truck! |

Re: LVPhotos 1962 Build
That is my original grill, originally white. Was chromed years ago, assuming it was sent to CA, top notch job cost was $350 then there was a dent driver side that was fixed only tool mark is inside the L. The fenders were bought years ago, I would suggest Goodmark or any other OER dealers. Tuckers Classic Truck here in Las Vegas is normally my goto, now they changed vender and I started a broken budget I go to who has the better product.
