Project Blue Goose

[THMMPR12]

I'm obviously very late to this build but I had a quick question?

What wheels are you using with the disc conversion? I was wanting to keep the original steel wheels with my 67 with the dog dish hubs but those won't work with the disc conversion.

Are you wheels from a later model 4x4? Did I miss that on the thread somewhere?

Great build and great color. Looking forward to seeing the progress as life allows.

Well I switched to 5 lug when I converted. The front rims are from a late 80's Chevy Van and the rear were army surplus wheels but you can now buy them from Summit Racing. Hope this helps, Nate

I haven't caught up with your build in a while so I see you have more important things happening. Congrats on the new baby! They change your life. (for the better of corse)

Yeah there really isn't anything to catch up on with the build I've been asking around about getting someone to work on the cab for me but not much luck. No one even wants to recommend anyone...

We are going to be moving soon and I should have room to gather up my parts that are at my uncle's house and his camp. Not sure if I'll have room for the cab though. I just need to make time and go up camp and work on the cab but with the family it's not as easy any more.

If I recall the cab needs one cab corner, one rocker and two cab mounts repaired. I may end up replacing the other rocker but we'll see.

It's been awhile since I did any work on the truck. Sold the HD last week so I can fund this project and get it finished.

I talked to Boris today from Street Machinery and he may be helping out this Spring...

I hope to be posting some progress as I plan on doing the brake lines and what ever small stuff...

Truck looks great! Nice work

Good to see your thinking about getting back on the truck. I like the idea Boris has about doing the fauxtina on the bed to match the front of the truck. Atleast you'll know, if street machinery is doing it, it will be done right. Get it on the road and enjoy it, you can always repaint it later on. I plan to do the same with my truck when the time comes.

Yeah I have to get it back in one piece cause I've been thinking about selling so maybe that will spark my interest again.

I purchased a couple sets of dog dish style hubcaps with patina.

I ordered new seat foam for the buddy buckets, I going with blue houndstooth covers...

[nds1968]

This is the look I'm going for...

[GR8-68]

That will look awesome, I love the hounds tooth.

They are nice looking seats, I'll be ordering mine this week.

[nds1968]

Got me new seat foam in, not sure when the seat covers will be here.

Also been going through some boxes to see what I have and need.

My pops always calls me crazy for future reference pictures as I take them with every step but when he calls me forgetting what direction he angled the cut on some fabbed bar then he realizes how valuable they are when the brain is going a hundred miles an hour at night
