Got the truck running today was able to back it out of the garage on its own power . It is getting close to being done just waiting on the seat to get done and we should have the bed done this week and ready to bolt on . It has beed a lot of work this last year but the more it comes together the more it was all worth it !! I will post some more pictures when it is done

Pete,

Any of the Camaro, Chevelle restoration shops carry them. They sell just about any detail items for engines,etc.

Very nice, back to to the way it rolled off the line. Very nice.

slikside · 03-31-2013, 09:30 AM

Gorgeous! You've made a real beauty there.

**WETOWM** · 03-31-2013, 12:56 PM

Some of the tower clamps are odd sizes . Some of the car clamps will work for the heater hoses the upper hoses and lower hose take the odd size i will have to get the size off the clamps

**WETOWM** · 04-19-2013, 04:58 PM

Got the bed and rear bumper put on getting closer !!

budman k20 · 04-19-2013, 05:07 PM

You should be proud! It looks like you did a top notch job on the resto! What size tires are you running? Is that a 2 or 4in lift?

SCHRUMGMC · 04-19-2013, 05:28 PM
