I have been fixing up my truck a little since I got it from billsbowtie. I will post pics of everthing that I have done to it. I put a rust free passenger door on it, a 71 grill and bumper that belongs on it. I put a rust free tailgate on it and a bed that I bought from uncle. I put a set of 6/40 sets out of a 92 chevy truck and the carpet. I put a holly carb and a new distribiture. I have many new parts to put on it when I tear it down. Which I hope will be soon

I plan on painting it bright yellow and shaving all the trim off of it. I got some performance parts to build The motor. I am going to go threw the front suspension{have parts} and put power steering back on it. I will fix all the rust first.

You gotta love the 12tone color scheme. One less rusty piece at a time.

49m · 04-28-2008, 04:40 AM

removed trim and started filling the holes today. Going smooth. I plan to tear it down this summer. I got a passenger inner fenderwell from huck last weekend.

49m · 05-17-2008, 07:58 PM

Trim holes shaved and removed both inner fenders. Got new metal door panels from a truck that got totaled locally

How did you mount your seats? Can you post pic of that? I am needing to do the same.

49m · 01-25-2010, 07:59 PM

i mounted it the floor by drilling new holes. Then on the front center one i used a piece of box tubing to mount it.

Zumo · 01-26-2010, 12:29 PM

Thanks! I need to get this done on mine and was curious how you did yours. Your truck is coming along nicely.
