Nice work! 507 Lt. Blue is a great color! And the B98 lower body side molding sets it off nicely. Really is a sharp looking truck. Also it's a very nice tribute to your Father. Can't wait to see pics of it on the road.

Thanks bruceman cant wait to get it out and see how it does on the road too.

This is one nice truck! Well done. Would also love to see this someday.. Mine is also a c20 on a k20 chassis. The e-brake and speedo cable and obviously the the hump I had to contend with that we're different. Did you have anything else?

Sboris that was two of the things and all so changing to an automatic I had to add neutral switch and splice into the purple wire from the key switch to the. Neutral switch. But that is About it.

Wow, truck looks like it just rolled out of the factory. I'm sure your dad would be proud. Very nice work.

67_C-30 · 11-24-2013, 10:27 PM

Beautiful! I love a 507 truck my a 506 interior. My '67 C-30 came that way.

Thanks Scott, I pulled the seat back out today, the new upolstry will be here Monday for it. I was going to leave it but it was to faded and stained from all the years and i cleaned it as good as it was going to get and I needed to fix the springs on the drivers side of the seat. All that was bugging me after everything else I have done.

Also thanks 67 C30 they are nice colors all though I am partial to the green that came out in 67. That's what I wanted to do but this was a tribute to dad so I left it blue and white.

Jayschevy · 11-25-2013, 07:24 PM

Nice truck, love the color.

Mr Chevorlet · 11-26-2013, 02:57 PM

Thanks Jayschevy.

Low Elco · 11-27-2013, 11:29 AM

Man, that's nice work! Looks great!

Mr Chevorlet · 11-27-2013, 11:36 PM

Thanks Low Elco, you have a nice square body truck also. .maybe I can trust this truck to make it to the big truck show in your area this summer.

swamp rat · 11-29-2013, 12:45 AM

Super nice work!

Mr Chevorlet · 12-01-2013, 01:19 AM

Ok now I got all the electrical done. Reverse lights and even the neutral switch after adding the automatic column from a three on the tree. And now the seat is done it took a couple of hours but here is a picture.

sduckworth13 · 12-01-2013, 01:20 AM

Seat looks real nice.

Mr Chevorlet · 12-03-2013, 10:09 PM

Update, got the seat back in and the tailgate letters on.

sduckworth13 · 12-03-2013, 10:46 PM

Mr Chevorlet · 12-06-2013, 11:11 PM

Well John it took about three years but there was a lot of months in the first and second year I did not do much. It was not untill last August I hit it hard and stayed with it. Thanks for the compliment.
