What are you planning on doing for the interior? What color will you be powdercoating the 17" rally wheels? That would help with recommendations. Of course, in the end, you have to be the one happy with the way it looks. If you have a thought in your mind about the way you want it to look then go for it! :chevy:

I am planning on using a tan leather interior for the seats and dash. I had pulled the truck out today to take some pics and clean up some final welds today. I am feel like I am starting to make some head way!

Re: "The way it is" 67'swb
 

Good progress. I will definitely put my vote in for the two tone to compliment you using it on the grille and tailgate.

Re: "The way it is" 67'swb
 

I finally got sometime to paint my 2 rear wheels over the last 2 days and am very happy with the way they have turned out. I have been very busy making open primary belt guards for MCs and it has been taking up alot of my time. I have thru in a couple pics. I am hoping to get my rear tires mounted this weekend!

Re: "The way it is" 67'swb
 

It does not roll very fast!

Re: "The way it is" 67'swb
 

Well got my wheels done and the tire mounted. I am very pleased to say the least with the way they came out. I am really able to see some vision now as to how the end product should look! I really love the shot from the back! :metal:

Awesome truck! What vehicle did the transmission come out of? I'm looking to replace my 3 speed sometime.

The tranny came out of a 99 c1500 they are suppoed to be good up to 350hp???? Dont quote me on that just what I heard. For $250 with 19,000 miles on it I figured I would find out. I have had 2 other trucks with the same tranny(new ventura3500) in them and they took a pretty good beating!


Thanks guys for the compliments, I am planning on bringing the bed in and start tearing on that. I had bought a 95% perfect complete bed floor from CPNE so I need to install that and see what kind of bedside work will need to be done.

I was planning on trying to get the cab painted before winter but the weather is changing quick so I might just start on the bed and shoot both in the spring????:waah:

Re: "The way it is" 67'swb
 

been chilly hasn't it?

I'm getting my roof done soon if the weather holds out.

Re: "The way it is" 67'swb
 

Sucks I saw on the news tonight a winter advisory for the upper central PA.

Re: "The way it is" 67'swb
 

Well my cab is finally done!!! All that is left is to clean up some of my welds but as far as rust repair we are rocking!!!:metal:
I had gotten the last spot done last night under the pass. side cowl had cancer. I am trying to decide whether to work on getting the cab painted or get the bed put together and ready. I am heading towards working on the cab and then painting them both in the spring. I wanted to try and have it ready for spring less the bed. Oh well, patience.

Re: "The way it is" 67'swb
 

whats up I dont have the option to post pics any more with my post. the manage pics is gone. what the heck?

just noticed my thing down on the lower left is dissabled.

Re: "The way it is" 67'swb
 

keep up the good work.

Re: "The way it is" 67'swb
 

you could paint the firewall and back and coat the bottoms of both.. then work on the outer body work all winter and shoot it in the spring.
