whoops, posted it twice, my bad

bucket · 09-07-2006, 09:05 PM

Nice!

Sammy · 09-07-2006, 09:26 PM

Looks good. Very nice work. I have two questions. One is the brake booster. What year is that & did you have to modify the bolt pattern to fit? I have one off a late model blazer that has a wider bolt pattern on the bottom.??
Next is the gas filler you have where did you purchase it and what did it cost?
I see you used the poly tank does that have 1 1/2" outside diameter? How difficult was that to figure out? Starting on my tank install on the shortbed soon as I can get my bed lined out.

Blue85 · 09-07-2006, 10:15 PM

the brake booster is from a 92 chev truck, had to redrill 2 holes and extend the rod to make it work, the fuel tank is a steel one, coated with bedliner spray, the fuel door hardware is from a 90's truck, just welded the base(splash guard i guess it's called) of it to the my bed and picked up a fuel door from ebay, made an adapter to fit the 1 1/2" neck on the tank

**Palf70Step** · 09-07-2006, 10:22 PM

Truck looks great. Nice job!

AKChevyman · 09-07-2006, 10:27 PM

I have to say nice also good job

wibilly · 09-07-2006, 11:59 PM

looks very nice, bet it feels good to drive it again

smbrouss70 · 09-08-2006, 12:17 AM

Looks good to me! I like your fuel door, it almost looks like it came like that from the factory. Nice attention to detail.

garold99 · 09-08-2006, 12:36 AM

Sweet looking ride.

**SactoJim** · 09-08-2006, 12:43 AM

Looks really good.....Black is very critical of poor bodywork and looks pretty darn straight in the pics.

How's 1st gear with the 700 and 3.73 gears?

Just curious, cuz that's my setup, but haven't driven it yet.

Blue85 · 09-08-2006, 10:55 AM

thanks for the feedback guys, it really makes it worth it when you get great comments after a restoration, SactoJim, the 373's make it pull really hard of the line when the tires will actually hook up

panhandler62 · 09-08-2006, 11:03 AM

Very nice job. I echo the complement on the filler --

I love the interior -- comfy and clean without being busy.

67ChevyRedneck · 09-08-2006, 11:10 AM

Very nice ride! What A/C kit did you use and do you like it?

*bskylerj* · 09-08-2006, 11:47 AM

I know how you feel about getting it back on the road. I just got mine on the road last month. It looks great. Good job.

Jimbotronics · 09-08-2006, 12:43 PM

Awesome job! Looks great!

**Yukon Jack** · 09-08-2006, 02:45 PM

Great job on a beautiful truck!

crawdad · 09-09-2006, 07:47 PM

Super job on the truck. One question, it looks like the raised ribs of the bed floor curve around the gas tank door. How did you do that?

jimmydean · 09-10-2006, 01:37 AM

That looks great! Motivation for sure.

I haven't driven my truck in 6 weeks and it's killing me. Waiting for parts sucks, but it's all worth it in the end.

Premium72 · 09-10-2006, 02:41 AM
