Re: 24 years later....here we go
Bennett 4GL not really sure on wheel/tire. Im gonna try to look at a bunch of trucks at the good guys show thats in fort worth in March. The real trouble is that I like them all....I really like the Billet Specialties roulettes but they are just out of my $ range. Stay tuned....!

Re: 24 years later....here we go
The Roulettes are really nice but your right they are really pricey. You have a good plan checking out some wheels at goodguys. I wish I could have done that before I went through two sets.

Just waiting on compressor brackets to get back from powder and the heat/AC will be done. Got stuff from GMC Paul today to overhaul my wing windows. Im gonna try to get alot of stuff at the swap meet in Decatur TX in a couple of weeks. We'll see....Im about broke

Re: 24 years later....here we go
Here's one of the unit and the ducts. Finally found the real use for duct tape. Lots of routes for the ducts, I tried to and was able to tuck them under real good so that they are not visible. Pretty cool to flip the fan switch on and get air out of the vents...

Re: 24 years later....here we go
I got the passenger side vent window done today. Replaced the glass with clear and a new handle. I read on here guys talking about how these were such a nightmare. The pivot rivet takes a little ingenuity but I found the window overhaul incredibly simple. I used pop rivets on the top two and for the four in the felt channel. Also used windex to "lube" up the gasket since it would evaportate and not be slimy, worked great. Precision gaskets help alot Im sure.

Re: 24 years later....here we go
Most things are incredibly simple when one possesses incredible talent. I posses the ability to turn the most mundane task into a two day ordeal - and for some reason I still enjoy it.

Re: 24 years later....here we go
The pivot rivet is a little bit of a pain. I used a 45 degree punch to get the edges started to roll out and finished them with the provided rivet tool. Just take your time. I used a zip tie to hold the frame together at the top after drilling the two rivets out. Hardest part for me was getting the old glass out of the chrome frames. I am putting all clear glass in this truck and will have it tinted very lightly.

Re: 24 years later....here we go
Pulled the cluster out today and painted the needles (testor's orange enamel) fixed the odometer, and put a nice polished lens in it. I polished the lens with a microfiber cloth and some glass scratch remover that the wife had. Worked really good. Replaced all the bulbs with 168's and cleaned the contacts on the printed circuit. Im happy with it...

Won't be long before you're cruising around in that rascal. All you lack now is finishing up!

Re: 24 years later....here we go
what kind of floor matting are you using and how much did you use when laying it down? I plan to do the inside of my doors and from the toeboard as high as I can all of the floor and all the way up the back of the cab.
Great progress

Re: 24 years later....here we go
New Type, I used FatMat that I got on Amazon. It came with a razor knife and the roller to put it down with. I got a 40sq ft roll from what I remember and its enough to do the floor and up on to the firewall and the rear of the cab. If you wanna do doors too you might need a little more. Someone on here would know more on exactly how much to get. The fatmat laid down real nice. Thanks to everyone for the comments, it wont be long.

Re: 24 years later....here we go
Promotional exam is over, did good. So back to work on pickup. Got the Old Air done, just need my buddy Scot to come over and charge it. I bought this 71 Cheyenne Super real cheap the other day. All original, one owner. Its in pretty good shape. Go pick it up Monday or so. I dont know much about it at this point other than its all original drivetrain with a tilt column.

Re: 24 years later....here we go
Got a dash pad, passenger side sport mirror, pedal pads/trim, and a few other things at the Decatur Swap Meet. Had fun with dash pad last night with everything else installed like Crash had anticipated. With lots of extensions and ingenuity I got to all of the nuts. Got rid of the Edelbrock air cleaner for a nice aluminum one. I need to charge the A/C but its pretty cool for the heater to blow hot air after all this time.
