Thanks!! Call me crazy, but I want to leave traces of the original 1973 Lime green metallic paint here and there. Besides, I was kind of rushed on this project to do any of the 'detail' work I usually like to do.

Thanks man! That sucks about your deal. Whatever you get, I can't wait to see your project!

Springtime seems to be approaching so maybe I can move a little faster on my projects... the snow makes it hard to do anything... except operate the shovel...

73chevyman · 03-03-2010, 05:29 PM

jchav62 · 03-25-2010, 09:48 AM

Made myself a '400' emblem for the grille.

They look nice! A little too expensive for my budget though. I'll have to stick with the Sylvania's I bought from Walmart for $10 a piece.

I'm glad you got your truck! Can't wait to see what you do to it.

jason65 · 04-01-2010, 08:10 AM

I really like what you have done. The 400 is a very nice touch.

73chevyman · 04-18-2010, 02:07 PM

man I inspected the cab more then what i could where it was parked at and it's more rusted then i thought.... i might have to do a cab swap my cousin has a 83 he's getting ready to strip and I'm thinking of using the cab so looks like mines going to be more involved.... hit a junkyard yesterday found carpet, vent windows, booster/master cylinder, cab trim, and a bounch of other stuff for 110

73chevyman · 05-02-2010, 02:22 AM

Sorry...haven't been in this thread in a while. Yes, the headlight bezels shown in these pics are plastic LMC's. They look good... easy replacement. I've since replaced them with metal originals with black accents that I scored at the swap. I have the LMC one's still...stored.

jchav62 · 05-20-2010, 03:54 PM

Thanks to my buddy and my cousin, I got to 'new' front tires from Craigslist and a set of Rockets from a local swap meet. I'm in a little debt to those guys, but they were both nice enough to let me take the merchandise... I'm on the "Chicano pay as you can plan" with both of them.

I only have the front two installed so far...

I dig the wheels!!!
Much better!

jason65 · 05-21-2010, 08:14 AM

Looking good dude.

JohnC · 05-21-2010, 12:35 PM

Wheels look sweet man!

jchav62 · 05-25-2010, 01:00 PM

Thanks for the compliments guys. Turns out I may have to stick with the old moons. When I got the front tires mounted and balanced, the guy didn't tell me that one was bent. I took it out on the highway and she shakes pretty good at about 55....goes away at 65 or so. Anyhow, I got it rebalanced at another tire store and the guy took me out to the shop to show me the bent wheel on the balance machine. He tried to balance it out, but it still shakes at those speeds. I considered putting that wheel on back, but I'm still not sure. I really dig how they look...it's really what I was after, but it may not work out...

JohnC · 05-25-2010, 03:57 PM

I guess I'm not seeing the problem. Drive fine til about 45mph, then gun it to 65mph. Problem solved.
