Hey people,
i know its been over a month since i posted anything on the truck.I just been having to deal with other matters at the moment.Dad went in for surgery 3 weeks ago to have part of his left leg in the middle of his calf amputated due to blockage and skin infection and gang green.But he is doing well and still in great sprirts.But i ordered a bunch of parts from summit for it, and i am having a alternator rebuilt, i had them take the case apart, powdercoat the casing and then rebuild it and then put a billet serpantine pulley on it.I also got a new power steering pump for it,some new heater hoses, and having a factory frame jack powdercoated to rest in them dimples on the top of the pass inner fender.Also went n bought them LED stepside taillights, bought some hardware to bolt the rear bumper on.But thats really it for now.Been dealing with 3 projects and then the brakes on my magnum let go and then my laptop crashes this month so its not been 1 of my better months.But happy thanksgiving to everyone and have a safe day today.

thanks

Hey everyone, HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!! Well lately i been doing some odds and ends.Today i got the drivers fender on and bolted in and shimmed.What a PITA it was.But its comming along, i am pretty happy with it so far but of course the funds are very low so this year i`m hoping to get the glass in, and get all but the exhaust and electrical and interior done.The rest like plumbing the motor, getting all the rest of the front end on, new windshield, door glass, so we will see but this is what it looks like as of today..

thanks

     It is looking real nice, always like to see someone take their time and really put themselves into a project.

[80stepsideguy]

Bake,
i try my best to make it look right.I said i want to stop after this 1.I am uncertain if i would build another as now i got experience on building these trucks.But i am happy on its progress, its comming along slowly but hoping that it will be done by next spring.Still got exhaust,driveshaft, rest of the brakes, electricial, and interior as well as glass.But the rest is all done.Hope to have at least a few trophies and i put alot into this truck from what it was to what it is now..


thanks again for the compliments..

Thanks
Pat

Got the grille all painted up and the new bowtie on, also installed the front marker lights and also the new Headlights.I`m having a set of wiper arms and the headlight bezels rechromed and a few other small pieces shortly.Now i need to focus on getting the exhaust, the driveshaft made and then plumb the motor and tranny.Finish up the brakes and then get the inside done.

thanks
