updates on my truck

Thought I would throw a couple pictures up. I will take some better ones soon when I get it finished up.
I still have alot of little things left to do. I got the interior finished up except for the interior. Got the tonneau cover all made and wrapped. Got the whole truck lowered 3 inches more, still have a couple things to do with the front end.
I am planning on having it finished for the year in a month or so, I am planning on running eithier single bar flipper caps or 4 bar flipper caps. and still have to get valve covers etc.
Will post more soon. Thanks Nate

 

The truck looks great, and I hate to be "that guy", but those speakers up in the corners? Killing the look. I understand the desire for a stereo, and probably limited space constraints, but is there anything you could do to hide those a bit better? At least a more plain looking speaker grille painted white.

 

yea truck looks cool! hide those speakers behind thet fur!

 

honestly I never even thought about the speakers. But know that you guys said something. I totally agree. Nate

 

very nice job, love the color

 

Thanks. Its 1977 porsche red or dale jarret red. Nate

 

cool truck, hope to see it at some shows this summer!

 

Looks good.

 

Great looking little pickup.......

 

thanks for all the comments. Nate

 

Psychedelic baby.. I love it

 

Thanks. Its really a mish mosh of different eras, but Im just building what I like. Nate

 

Very nice!

 

Yeah put the speakers under the seats. I love the old pickups.

 

great truck. cant wait to see it finished.

 

thanks for the comments, that is a good idea to put the speakers underneath the seats. I will have to see what I can work up. Thanks nate

 

What does: "I got the interior finished up except for the interior" mean?

If you can't hide em, paint em white. I'm not a fan of fur but if you like it, go with it! Love the red and like the tonneau.

 

meant steering wheel. Sometimes I type faster than I think. Nate

 

What's the steering wheel plan? Doesn't look too bad but the lighting isn't optimal.

 

Yea, the pictures suck. Its been snowing, so someday I will open the door and take some good pics. Well the steering wheel plans are I have a 1959 pontiac steering wheel I cut up, and I just have to clean it up and paint it white, and polish the hell out of the horn ring. Nate

 

lookin good man. it would kill me to not be able to drive coz of weather. i had my car down for 2 days when i fixed the fuel tank sending unit and all i could do was stand at the door and stare at it. i might not drive it everyday but knowing i cant drive it pisses me off.

i have always liked the single bar flipper style caps. and i love seeing running boards on hot rods trucks too.

 

Looks great Nate! Beats the shit out of that golf you used to sport around here back in the day!!!

 

Nice truck! Gonna be hell getting the footprints off that white headliner tho!

 

Thanks again for the comments. Yea it does suck not being able to drive the truck, lucklily winter is just about over, also I plow snow in the winter and that is getting old too.
Shit man I didnt think anyone would remember that golf I had, but I guess we all have to start somewhere! Thanks Again Nate

 

lol about the headliner, I think the whole interior is gonna be a bitch to keep clean. But oh well.

 

Looks great,can't wait to see more of it!

 

Thanks. I should be at alot of the shows this year. Nate

 

I'm liking the furr man!!

 

Thanks, im digging it to. Hopefully I can keep it that clean. Nate

 

wow nate.. looks the nuts!!!!! looks like a whole new truck... im 3 shades of green with envy
