Some new pics of Molly - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

chrislehr · 02-24-2008, 06:56 AM

Took some new pics on the parking garage roof today after work. G/f and I decided her name is Molly. I think it fits.

New pics include my semi fixed up grille - new headlights and headlight surrounds, and new 67-69 mirrors on it too. Not much else though.

Molly is a great name, she's a fine looking girl! Nice pictures!

Cool! I just put a brand new set of those 5" round mirror heads on my '69. It really cleans up the look doesn't?

Good golly Miss Molly.....!!!

Great looking truck, love the mirrors!

I need to get a nice set of mirrors like those. Where did you find them?

67_C-30 · 02-24-2008, 08:53 AM

I can't speak for Chris, but I got mine from Tim Christian.

Mine were from LMC truck.

Pretty reasonable price, IIRC, but the backing plates falling into the doors was an unexpected surprise.

Do they vibrate when you're going down the road? I have square one with long stems like that on my '70, and headlights look like fireworks because the mirrors vibrate so much. It's a C20 too.

They do a LITTLE bit. Very bearable. The old ones shook like Michael J Fox on a carnival ride.

I think my molding is going away tomorrow, and im adding hella horns assuming I can figure out how to wire them.

It looks like Molly is being treated well, a fine looking truck

I had the 5" X 7" rectangle mirrors and when I put 5" round mirrors it eliminated 98% of the vibration. I didn't change arms, just the heads. The three screws in the back of the rectangle mirrors are supposed to tighten them up, but I guess mine were just too worn out.

Small update (and self bump...)

Molly has new amber bulbs and blew a headlight.

In other news, I think my old business partner might be owing me about 1500, so it sounds like Molly might have an 700r4 sooner than expected.

(Or, I can just pay off Molly - yes, I actually have a lien on her, if you can believe that!)

0% Interest and 250/mo for 12 mos was more bearable than pulling 3k from savings.
