Super clean truck! I like the wheels, engine, drop, fuel tank install, well.. everything.

Mr.Chevy4x4 · 03-03-2013, 08:16 PM

One of the parts of reassembly I was dreading was the vent window/new seals/window regulator/window install in the doors. I'm proud to say both sides are done and not even one scratch in the new paint!

Mr.Chevy4x4 · 03-03-2013, 08:19 PM

Here's a picture of the completed engine compartment. Still some tidying up to do, and definitely a good wash. Lots of dust from the paint shop. I'm also going to change my air inlet setup. I'm going to duct it across and under the battery to get cool air coming through core support.

silvereagle07 · 03-05-2013, 01:07 PM

Nice work! I like that engine setup.

Mr.Chevy4x4 · 03-08-2013, 06:12 PM

We now have a windshield and back glass! Slowly but surely!

Thanks! I'm hoping that as I get the rest of the pieces and parts on the front it will come down a little. If not I will be cutting front springs just a little. I want the front and about an inch lower.

silvereagle07 · 03-08-2013, 06:42 PM

I like it. Looking clean and simple. The front grille and marker lights look awesome in that shot. What bumpers do you have for it front and rear?

**rs74** · 03-09-2013, 12:54 AM

Lookin pretty good! I have always liked the white short beds. Too few of them out there. Are you planning on putting the side trim back on or leaving it off?

Mr.Chevy4x4 · 03-16-2013, 05:18 PM

Made some progress last night and this morning. Outside almost done. Time to start focusing on the interior.

Thanks. I decided to pot the side trim back on, and now I feel like it needs the fender emblems??? Yes or no?

**lolife99** · 03-16-2013, 05:19 PM

You are doing a great job!
So clean,...

Thanks. Just stock style with the sport type in the rear. I modified the brackets to bring the rear bumper in 1.75 inches. It looks much better now.

Mike

silvereagle07 · 03-16-2013, 06:19 PM

It's looking good Mike. I modified my rear sport bumper brackets a few years ago. It really makes a big difference in the look. Oh, I vote to leave the emblems off. It looks really good now. Clean and sanitary.

I'm still up for breakfast one morning. Maybe next weekend.

Thanks Jeramy! Next weekend would probably work. I'll give you a call later in the week. Mike

silvereagle07 · 03-16-2013, 10:56 PM

Alright. Let me know.

I vote YES forthe emblems and also the upper pinstripe.

Mr.Chevy4x4 · 03-17-2013, 11:05 AM

This picture made me realize I need to black out the white paint on the inside of the wheel well trim.

68Timber · 03-17-2013, 09:42 PM

Looks great, very "sano" as they used to say. I had the opportunity to check out the blue/white K5 you sold locally here this afternoon and just noticed you used that grill on this truck too, looks great and very tastefully done.

My vote is yes on the fender emblems. I like all the trim and emblems on these trucks. I think it helps break things up a little.
