Re: 69 LWB Fleet Build thread "The Beast"

Re: 69 LWB Fleet Build thread "The Beast"

Re: 69 LWB Fleet Build thread "The Beast"
 

thanks for the inspiration, well with it being a v8 truck and i highly doubt someone ripped out a BB and put in the pontiac along with 350 tagged fenders id say shes a factory 350 truck and shes a factory white and brown 2tone

Re: 69 LWB Fleet Build thread "The Beast"

Re: 69 LWB Fleet Build thread "The Beast"
 

That along with the bad flat black job, i can see through the black on the roof and see the brown through scratches

Re: 69 LWB Fleet Build thread "The Beast"
 

oh ya maybe you can wet sand it off and have a nice patina driver!

Re: 69 LWB Fleet Build thread "The Beast"
 

heres another with newer rims on it http://hardskull.com/c10/pics/10.jpg

Re: 69 LWB Fleet Build thread "The Beast"
 

I like that wetsanding idea, pretty cheap huh? id like to change the look of it until i have the money to do all the rust repair body work and final paint

Re: 69 LWB Fleet Build thread "The Beast"
 

ya there was a member who did that to his 71 72 4wd it came out ok

Re: 69 LWB Fleet Build thread "The Beast"
 

so do i just wet it down and sand it with like a 1500 grit?

Re: 69 LWB Fleet Build thread "The Beast"
 

yes maybe even a 4000 or so get it nice and wet and then start sandin when you see the results you want then keep doin it exactly like that

Re: 69 LWB Fleet Build thread "The Beast"
 

No new pics yet but I did get the alternator (internally regulated) wired up to charge, just gotta make a little jumper to go from the number 2 tab to the post oh and does anyone know what to do with the black wire? I kno the white is supposed to be terminated cuz it has no purpose and the red goes to the post and the blue gos to tab 1

Re: 69 LWB Fleet Build thread "The Beast"
 

i am not sure where that wire goes

Re: 69 LWB Fleet Build thread "The Beast"
 

imagine the rs stripe being two seperate stripes, both come up the fender to the center of the hood and turn into ss stripes.....thats my vision
I kinda like that wheel but im still not a 100% on what i want, is that a 338, ive seen 338 on a few trucks and like them.....lol still not sure on my wheel selection

Re: 69 LWB Fleet Build thread "The Beast"
 

:fb: pushin it back to the top, I need opinions guys

Re: 69 LWB Fleet Build thread "The Beast"
 

Ok i looked at a wiring diagram and found that the black wire is a ground

Re: 69 LWB Fleet Build thread "The Beast"
 

should i ground it on the alternator or on a boby panel?

Re: 69 LWB Fleet Build thread "The Beast"
 

i say do it !!!!!! i like the rims those would look great!!!!!

Re: 69 LWB Fleet Build thread "The Beast"
 

Is 67Chevy1Series the only one following this build????

Re: 69 LWB Fleet Build thread "The Beast"
 

no look how many have veiwed this

Re: 69 LWB Fleet Build thread "The Beast"
 

its gonna be a resto-mod, woodgrain gauge cluster steering wheel and pistol grip shifter, speedo on the left clock in the middle and fuel gauge on the right, left to right on the bottom gos Ammeter oil pressure water pressure and fuel pressure, ill have one of those dashpads with the triple gaugepod molded into it and the gauges from left to right will be tach water temp oil temp, idk wat ill put on the apillar but itll b loaded down with gauges, im gonna get buckets and a console out of a blazer, speakers in the kick panels a 6x9 in the dash a speaker headliner from LMC and 10 inch square kicker low profile subs under both seats, idk wat kind of amp yet, it has a pontiac engine, its either a 350 or a 400, ill know wen i pull it, id rather it b a 350 cuz they r not very common and they r cheaper to build, i like being different and i know i can build a strong powerful engine with that pontiac no matter the displacement, for the trans i wanna get a 6 speed out of a wrecked 90's camaro or firebird and a gear vendors overdrive thats like drivin a 12 speed gonna keep a 2 piece driveshaft with the carrier bearing but a new lighter a stronger set of shafts, im gonna have electric cutouts right after the header on each side then a glasspack and another cutout and straight 3 in pipe out the rear, a dark blue darker than midnight blue almost a black with white SS strips that start on the tailgate and start again on the back of the cab go over the roof down to the middle of the hood and go down the fenders into a pair of RS stripes like on the old camaros that had a single stright runnin across the hood and down on each fender, cowl hood, I have alot more ideas but that all i can unload right now lol

Re: 69 LWB Fleet Build thread "The Beast"
