Needs finished up and the minor problems fixed, besides that its great
-
Looks like a nice base for your project. Keep the updates posted.
-
Is your truck primered or is the Hot Rod Flatz flat black?
-
need to fix that coolant leak around the t stat housing.
-
Is your truck primered or is the Hot Rod Flatz flat black?
it hot rod flatz black but i believe that is primer isnt it? and thanks for the comments guys, I paid 2500 for it, frames been repainted, motors rebuilt, trans is rebuilt, new carb, new exhaust, new carpet, new dash pad, new tires, new shocks, new bushings, new grille trim, tons of new parts
-
I have a friend who painted his truck Hot Rod Flatz red and it was my understanding that it was a one stage paint with flatting agent in it. Either way your truck looks great! I am thinking about doing the hot rod black on my stepside!
-
looks good man keep us posted with lots of pics 8)
-
Nice truck bro.
-
i even have to say nice truck
-
I noticed, and I'm surprised no one else mentioned it, you say your pickup is an '82 but i see it has the round headlight setup.
Either way, nice lookin' pickup. I planned on makin' my 2wd shortbox look almost exactly like that.
-
Maybe this will help. This is from another topic he posted in.....
Ive got an 82 with a 76 front clip, its primer hot rod flatz black, looks more like metallic gray primer with black ralleye fat and skinnys.
-
Ahh, that makes more sense haha.
-
gonna really get started on here now, want to get the interior a little more complete, dont knw if ill buy a new seat cover or maybe use a benchseat out of something else, get the door panels, get rid of the yellow and get a cd player
-
How is it dropped? (Spindles, springs, shackles, flip kit etc...) also what are those wheels off of? and what width backspacing are they?
-
its got shackles and springs i believer, i dont know how big the drop is but i want it a little lower. there chevy ralley wheels, not the truck kinda but the kind off a older camaro or something like that and their painted black. Not much has been going on with the truck, just been driving it on the weekened cause of the weather, ordered some new door sill plated cause my truck didnt have any and a few interior pieces i was missing, the biggest purchase was a new black seat cover. Anyone know how to tell what year my doors r from? i dont wanna order the wrong year style. Just quit my job but should have another this week so hopefully i can really start taking care of things on it and making it a complete truck
-
nice truck, your doors look like a 77-87 but I need to see a pics of the inner door panel to be sure if there 77-80 or 81-87 and your drop you could also take pics of the suspension to tell what was used on the drop
-
I know how to tell on the suspension part, just havent really paid much attention. I dont have door panels, thats why i need to know what year my doors r so i can order them, is there something about the inside sheetmetal of the door that u can tell from or?
-
There is no 77-80 and 81-91 doors, they are all 77-91 doors, which is what yours are.
-
ur sure on this? im just asking because in the catalog it has door panels for such and such years, i believe the pre 76 door panels r kinda flat at the top and the other ones kinda curve up at the top if this makes any sense?
i was thinking thinking the way my window cranks r and the interior door handle would determine which ones i need
-
Yes, I am 110% sure. After 26 years I think I have it down.
The DOOR panels were different 73-76, 77-81 and 81-87. 77-80 and 81-87 door panels will swap back and forth becuase the doors are identical.
-
oh I know, I was letting him know on inner door handle wise
-
73-76 door panels won't go on your doors and look proper.
If your handles are wide and centered to the pivot, and you want panels to match they would be 77-80.
This is 77-80 handles from our store:

okay i have that first set of door handles the 77-80, can i just swap the 81-87 door handles over? just trying to clear this all up and make sure i order the correct set i need, id prfer to have the 81-87 style door panels since thats what the rest of the interior in my truck is
-
yes you might have to adjust the rod a little
-
my stuff came in finally that i ordered, got to taking some of the molding out and one broke from being so brittle, anyways, kinda got motivated, took my visors out and have them a new coat of paint, there were painted black when i got it but someone did a crappy job, dropped my seat off to have the new upholstery put on, its done. Now im just going to take care of everyhting, getting some insulation stuff up under the carpet which it didnt have, get a headliner and some other things
