Buildin my 88 Crew Cab long bed AKA STRETCH! - Page 10 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Well i got the new compressor on and the a/c charged. It blows ice cold now! Bad news on the body guy the deal fell through. He kept wanting me to throw stuff in on our deal after we already shook hands so the hell with that. I took my guages apart the other night and cleaned them with a cue tip and i also installed the overdrive shift pattern as well. Looks a lot better but the lens covering is scratched pretty good so ill have to find a new one. I did install another steering column as well. Its been pretty slow progress due to lack of funds but its getting there.

WillieloRidez · 09-30-2010, 02:38 PM

WillieloRidez · 10-14-2010, 11:18 AM

Well i got a couple new pics. The first is just my tailgate swap. The smooth tailgate is off of my fist square body i owned. Been keeping it for some reason i dont know why lol. The second is just playing around. Do you think i can tuck these tires?

WillieloRidez · 11-05-2010, 09:29 AM

Ya it was way cheap, i found it on ebay here in town. Factory a/c and power steering. Front end is completely rebuilt, new motor, heater core and blower motor,,, new tires all kinds of stuff. Couldnt pass it up

WillieloRidez · 11-13-2010, 08:22 PM

Ok everybody I got the inner fenders in today it has been raining the past few days and it was bothering me that my computer was getting wet. All the bolt holes lined up except 3 on each one. Other than that they fit perfectly. The holes that dont line up are the inside bracket that is on the firewall and the two inside bolts where they bolt up to the core support. Sounds like i will be using these on future projects. Plenty of clearence

bharrison1 · 11-13-2010, 09:04 PM

Glad they worked out maybe when i get my 75 dropped in the front i can leave mine in

menace121978 · 11-13-2010, 09:05 PM

joe231 · 11-14-2010, 01:41 PM

nice dude!!
