Yes leaving the outside man it took to long to get that way! Lol!

Thanks! Looking forward to driving it!

Great project. Love those years.
A little caution about your peel an stick insulation from Lowes.
I used that years ago on a project and after a few years it began to drop and lose its adherence.
Last project I added a good contact cement along with it. That helped tremendously.
Can't wait for more updates.

 

How's the truck coming along chaddilac.

I'll be updating pics this week! Got the steps painted and ready to go, the driver was hit at one point so I replaced it. The dash knobs are nearly done. It's coming along!

 

Cool, nice little truck!

 

Nice. Can't wait to see it.

Any updates?

 

Do you paint the inside of the wheels as well? I've always wondered whether to take the tires off to do the inside or not.

 

Any updates?

 

Here you go Chris... still plugging away! but nearly there!

 

Thank god, I thought you gave up lol

 

I like the look of the original paint, PERFECTION

 

Really like the dash knobs! What are they off of?

 

I could be wrong but they look like Fender Telecaster knobs to me.. I have plans of using them on one of my projects

 

Haha Just been busy buying other goodies!!

I like it a lot, and there's not any panels that don't match!

What shadow creek said... they are guitar knobs.

Yep!

 

Here's what I been buying.... [emoji12]

 

Oh nice! is it a short box?

 

Yep with a 460 bbf in it... I hope it runs!!

 

Chad, have you considered swapping the diff gears they are kinder low for highway speeds.
You probably have 3.89:1, I moved upto 3.54:1 with a V8 but maybe sticking with the 6 cylinders 3.7:1 could help.
My best top speed was in neutral running down hill in the Rocky's.

 

Chaddilac,
Nice find, square body and 460 is hard to beat. Frank

 

I haven't even thought of it, cause I've never driven it the way it is yet. I'll revisit that if need be later on.

Got the glass installed, now onto the door guts!!

 

Looking good Chad! Makes me want to get mine together.

 

Every time this thread pops up I start planning "the next build" but I have several (mostly off topic) project already in the queue. But I want a truck so bad every time I see yours!

 

Working on the bed.... it was so rotted that I gutted it and welded in a frame work to install a wood bed. I think it'll look cool!! Hopefully! Lol!!
