Vegaschevy, here is what you are missing out on:

Believe it or not both of the corners like in your truck have ot be replaced as they are rusted out. I am hoping that I can get away with outers, and the floor there. I am not sure what all pieces Ill need.

the trough that the door rubber edge is in is all rusted out.

*highperf4x4* · 03-04-2010, 09:33 PM

dangit mine is too. i guess it was the windshield leaking.

looking good any work done lately?

waiting on Porterbuilt to make his upper shock relocators. I have almost zero suspension in the rear as my shocks are leaning over way to much.

As you can see in this pic my interior door panels look like hell and my handles have not been connected in months. I decided I would paint my interior door trim and new repop pads i had and reinstall the new handles and window cranks I bought months ago. At least I have working door panels now... LOL

I aslo installed a coupld stickers in the back window... but no pics yet....

Im finishing getting a few other things taken care of and taking care of a few unforeseen bill around the house and then within a few weeks Ill have my entire front end stuff. 67 grill, cowl hood, all new body mounts, bed pads, repop 67 fenders and inner fenders, battery tray, hood hinges, and lights etc.

Then the little rust I have in the corners and drip rails on the rockers need replacing..... once that is done then I can also feel good about replacing the door molding and carpet.

*highperf4x4* · 03-07-2010, 08:53 PM

I can't believe your floorboards look that good. Mine are terrible.

Looks like you're working on new duct work too huh?

big_al_71 · 03-07-2010, 09:11 PM

the door panels look great......

*highperf4x4* · 03-07-2010, 09:16 PM

btw, are you putting the new plastic style woodgrain pieces on your door panels? I couldn't find the aluminum ones anywhere. I don't think they make them anymore.

No, I am going to make a set of aftermarket door panels. I do not know why more people do not do it. Im going ot buy or make an arm rest, and cover a board or plastic panel. I do not think it would be to hard in my mind. Ill follow the pattern down onto a kick panel as well.

I was looking at my buddies jetstream blue Covette today and liked the charcoal colored interior. THat might be a cool interior combo as well..... Hmmmmm LOL

*highperf4x4* · 03-08-2010, 01:42 AM

Awesome! Just take lots of pictures

*vegaschevy* · 03-17-2010, 09:03 AM

Finally got my leaking thermostat problem fixed I think. I have a cheap chrome thermostat housing as the stock housing was pitted and toast. Since buying it and installing it the thing has leaked with a thin gasket, two gaskets, siliconed, gasket sealed you name it!
Well today I found of all companies a Mr. Gasket thick reusable thermostat housing gasket. The thing worked for fixing my leak!

nopics though... I did install a couple pics in the rear window and get a few parts ordered.

I agree, I have never had any luck with those chrome POS t-stat housings. I have since gone to using only stock cast types and haven't had any problems since.

Hope you stay leak free.

Fel-pro has a re-useable o-ring style gasket.

*vegaschevy* · 03-17-2010, 05:19 PM

drove to work and back and no leakage! Im impressed finally!!! LOL

I did some work on the 67 grill going on my truck. i have a few questions I am posting in the general forum. Some do not make sense to me...

*highperf4x4* · 03-17-2010, 08:11 PM

You can sand the bottom of the housing and it will help.

Perma-Dry Plus..no gasket sealer needed.....I had one of those cheapy t-stat housings and gaskets too, so I replaced it with this....works like a charm!!!

Hey vegaschevy - Is this your ad on Craigslist, for sale?

http://phoenix.craigslist.org/nph/pts/1733669026.html

Looks like yours. No mention above that you are selling it... especially with a project name of NOT2SLE. What's up, is this a scam or something???

Nathan28 · 05-13-2010, 01:51 PM

That's definetly his truck! I guess it is for sale?

It is his truck and the ad seems legit with lots of info,,,,,,,I wonder why he is selling it?

68GMCCustom · 05-13-2010, 09:17 PM

he was on the site earlier today too.

ripdog28 · 05-13-2010, 09:19 PM

His last post was on the 10th talking about his frame and rims. I wonder why he would talk about that when he listed this ad the same day...

lowdownstar · 05-13-2010, 09:38 PM

lets hope it's nothing bad! Maybe he found something else? I always hope for the best.

VA72C10 · 05-13-2010, 10:07 PM

I had talked to him and he is planning on going a lot lower with a new front end and basically everything would be replaced....so it makes sense for him to sell the complete truck and then buy a new one that is more what he's looking for then drop it with PB goodies....

OldSkool71 · 05-14-2010, 11:28 AM
