Thanks Mike, I was laid off at the end of April, so the truck has been on the back burner. I'll keep finding time to work on her though.:metal:

Brake line for drivers side finished and installed. I was able to get the passenger side re-routed to the 85's rubber line fitting. still need to mount pass. lines to the X-member.

Nice job bending those lines. I would end up making a bunch of useless bent up tubing. Ha.

Re: 68' Chevy c10
 

Thanks 72', I just took my time and kept checking the fit till I got it right. I bet you could do the same.:chevy:

Re: 68' Chevy c10

Nice work on the fender! It was pretty smashed up in the corner! Looks like I got some catching up to do!

Re: 68' Chevy c10
 

Moving right along, looking good. Keep sanding, it all pays off!!!

Re: 68' Chevy c10
 

Welded the crack in the door. My neighbor had Central Air problems so I had to help him out. It's way to hot to be without AC.
