Hey man i like that engine bracket, if you don't mind where ya get it from..

Are you talking about the billet bracket that holds the ac compressor and the alternator?  It is part of the Billet Specialties v-trac system.  You can get it from Billet Specialties, Summit,or Jegs.

You're going to have a lot of extra switches on the driver's side door panel lol

[69byrd]

Yeah I know I am gonna get some truck panels and eliminate some of the switches.

I got a new air dam for my truck a couple of days ago.  After a few trips up and down my gravel drive I have it nice and smooth

Hey guys whats going on? I thought I would post some pics of the speaker brackets I made. I know they dont look the best but I think that they will look good when I cover them.





Here is a pic that was took this past weekend at a show that I thought I would share.

Lookin good 69. I dig the wagon!

[69byrd]

Thanks man!  That is my little boys wagon and it got more attention than anything there. Needless to say he was excited about that.

Hey Byrdman, that's great! It makes me want to build one now.

I like the wagon too. Need tire/wheel upgrade on mine next

As for the extra switches in the panel, I am thinking of running the one piece panels so thats not an issue. If I dont use the one piece panels I have access to some power panels out of a truck my friend has.

you could always use the extra switches for or manual fan control, or maybe nitrous?

By the way just found your build thread.  Love the truck and some of the ideas shared.  Thanks for sharing your build, I have a couple questions.  How wide a tire do you think you could fit under the rear?  I have 275's now and think I could go 295 but much wider I think I might start to rub.

Hey guys hows it going? I know its been awhile since I posted anything but I have finally started to make some forward progress. Here are some pics of the door panels that I used the sem dye on and they turned out good.



Also here is a pic of my headliner trim I installed and dyed and the the headliner that I recovered.


Here is where I am at now, I have the bed off and apart and I am sanding the truck. I hope to have the body work done and have it painted in about a month.


Here is some pics of my sons wagon. We picked up a V8 emblem and an old wrench at the swap meet that he wanted to add to it.
