Just a few pics to add to this amazing build... this is one of the best stepper projects out there.

Keith, it was great to finally meet up with you, even if I was truckless and gutless. Beautiful weather, killer trucks, what else do you need?

What are the datails on the steering wheel. I am looking for something close to 15 inch and small dish. Does this one feel to big or to small?

It's a repop 69 Camaro sport steering wheel....The wheel feels just "right" to me

2500HD · 09-08-2010, 12:56 PM

69 Camaro repop it is for me. Are there any local (DFW) suppliers that carry them or do you recommend an online place?

SCOTTMO · 09-08-2010, 05:02 PM

That is what i thought,i was over there one night and asked him if he needed a
hand in pushing it and he said nope,this one runs...

BB72CHEVKT · 09-08-2010, 05:24 PM

No, I had a transport company pick it up from AZ and I trailed it to KC (three in that truck would not be fun).

Love the truck. You really had me thinking there for a minute.

packrat42 · 09-08-2010, 10:11 PM

I don't know how old you son is but you need to buy him a stick or something, he's gonna get more tail than a toilet seat.

jwalk · 09-08-2010, 11:42 PM

Well you have her all cleaned up, sitting just right, and tucking some nice wheels. What's next?

Detail the motor and add a few things.......I have a SBC on the stand but I think I'm going to keep the 6 banger until it gives out.

n2billet · 09-14-2010, 09:55 PM

Well after getting back from Kansas, we (my son and myself) have put about 200 miles on the truck. It's running great without any worries as long as you keep it around 60 mph. So since it's running so good I thought I'd better take it apart and start screwing it up because who wants a good running truck?

I'm going to give it a simple cleaning and some fresh paint on the motor and add HEI while I'm under the hood. My wife told me tonight that by the weekend I will have talked myself into pulling the motor and painting everything under the hood.......lets hope she's wrong..

**lolife99** · 09-14-2010, 10:19 PM

Progress is good.

VA72C10 · 09-15-2010, 12:04 AM

Are we taking wagers on if you're wife is right or not
