Your painless got to you right?? Just makin sure. Truck is comin along. Nice work!

**67cheby** · 04-16-2010, 04:45 PM

i got it , i need to get a chance to fit it in the firewall , i havent done that yet, did yours have all of the factory guages ??

jasonb72 · 04-21-2010, 10:18 AM

What was your process for filling in the slots, did you use one piece or many small pieces?

**67cheby** · 04-21-2010, 10:38 AM

the shop where my truck is currently Mayhews Race Cars did the mod , he used one single piece, he also made some mounting tabs underneath that lock it in place , since the screws on top are gone, he did a sweet job

jasonb72 · 04-21-2010, 10:24 PM

Looks good, I want to do the same thing

**67cheby** · 04-22-2010, 09:51 AM

well they say you must go backwards to go forward...... so here is my backwards, forward progress from last night , stripped the frame flipped it over to finish the welds on the bottom, stripped the bed to bare metal dropping it off at the body shop today

**67cheby** · 04-23-2010, 11:17 AM

$!$$#@^%@& just got my parts back from the powder coaters.... the light gray parts you see were supposed to be , metallic charcoal gray, the powder coater says he will redo them free .... but that means more time !!

Jeffs70 · 04-23-2010, 11:28 AM

oh damn sorry to hear that, hope you get as quick as your hoping, all the rest looks great.

FRENCHBLUE72 · 04-23-2010, 11:28 AM

Bummer on the coater parts but at least he is stepping up and redoing them for free hopefully he can get em in and done today??

**67cheby** · 04-23-2010, 11:48 AM

yes it sucks , i am taking them back to him monday morning ,unfortunately he is 30 miles away and i am at work today, when i sent the parts to him i should have gone myself !! but he said on the phone, oh i know exactly the color you are talking about (when i said Metallic Charcoal Gray) well turns out i guess he didnt know the color i was talking about

**LEEVON** · 04-23-2010, 12:29 PM

Sucks about the color, but the rear end looks great. Who is setting up your gears?

**67cheby** · 04-23-2010, 12:47 PM

Leevon, Charles Mayhew of Mayhews Racecars that is where my truck is

VA72C10 · 04-23-2010, 01:52 PM

That's cool...guess we know who gets the first ride

**67cheby** · 04-23-2010, 01:55 PM

He will be the first one to light up the tires .... and he will light them up, he probably put over 200k miles on this truck before i got and i have seen him burn rubber ALOT!!!

**67cheby** · 04-23-2010, 01:57 PM

I work almost every Saturday, i sell cars.... so i cant wait for Grandpa to take it to the first show by himself, 79 years old , hop out, hit the remote and lay it on the ground....makes me chuckle just thinking about it

VA72C10 · 04-23-2010, 02:01 PM

That will be a classic moment right there! You'll have to have someone with a video camera to catch the other people's faces

**67cheby** · 04-23-2010, 02:03 PM

**67cheby** · 04-28-2010, 09:24 AM

my67chevytruck · 11-20-2009, 11:01 AM

SCOTI · 11-20-2009, 11:28 AM

Looks killer. What did you decide on the bed floor? I have some pics of one of mine that might work in your situation w/minimal re-work. I can post them up tonight if you're still undecided.
