Re: My Build: Home Depot Machine
Thanks Creep. I am itching something terrible to drive it, but I promised the fiance no truck work until after the honeymoon. As soon as I get back it's go time! Install the accuair, windshield, the spintech mufflers and start laying frame all over town. I am picking up some baby moon chevy caps soon too, but lets keep that on the DL.

Re: My Build: Home Depot Machine
Last little update until I return from the honeymoon.
Peep mirrors installed. I never liked the high mount at head level look. I like the low mount OEM ish look. ![]() ![]() |

Re: My Build: Home Depot Machine
Yeah I never saw them on our trucks. I saw a few lead sleds with them I I like the look, it blends in a bit more than having them at the top of the door. I was never a fan of that look

235/75/15. They where free w the rims. The windsheild was a local mobile installer. Quotes where $225-530. He was 2nd cheapest, cheapest I couldn't understand his country/drunken dialogue!

Re: My Build: Home Depot Machine
Thanks guys for the compliments.
What do you guys think about a distressed brown leather for the bench seat. Double stitched thick black thread just like oem on the stitching. I will be flat black for a few years then I will be original sea foam green with white top. Do you think the brown leather will go with the sea foam green in the future? I will at that time remove the burlap and wrap the door cards with the same distressed brown leather. This color ![]() |

Re: My Build: Home Depot Machine
A few small updates. I mocked up my shift boot and will sew it up later with twine. I test fit the custom cab horn and trim ring. I'm not sure if I should have it rechromed or leave it pitted. Awaiting the driveshaft to be made and I should have this thing driving by early next week.

Re: My Build: Home Depot Machine
I like the look of the mirrors being low, but can you see out the vent window from the drivers seat. I couldn't see out on mine.

Re: My Build: Home Depot Machine
Thanks McMurphy. I love being married but the process is $$$ and time consuming.
Dbomb53. I can see just fine, I am 6'1" so maybe thats it. But I am going to do a BBW conversion so I wont have any blind spot concerns then! |
