Picked up and installed both license plate frames.

I wonder if this will solve the biggest question I get asked....

I finished the rear spring and shock install... wow 4" drop looks fantastic.
But my question in all this is why dont new parts come with new hardware?

I thought so. One thing about the plates, they are blue, like car plates, whereas trucks usually have black plates here in Ontario. Plus with having 3 characters, space and 3 more, it looks like regular plates as that is how they used to be made until they ran out of combinations.

Even with the plates and frames, people will still ask the year and what engine it has. Some look at the engine, look at the badge on the side of the truck to confirm that it is a 396.

Door panels are in. Door and window handles in/on. Arm rests are on. I know the dash doesn't go in this spot. I fished the dome light wire in thru the roof...new dome light. Boy, I hate the plastic crap. Any body find/know where to get a classy one?

I've got some orange peel inside the cab. But, I did it myself. I'm no pro. Just an owner/driver/gearhead.

Door panels are set up to match the new seat.

2 teenage boys with cars no more room so 1 of my 2 trucks must go decided to keep the 1962 gmc short bed. and sell the 1970 with 68 nose k10 4x4 and keep the motor for the 62... not having the room sucks.

put K5 emblems on the side so people will stop calling it a bronco. At least they could call it a scout.

LOL. I had a 78 Scout II and sure wish I still had it.

Would rather have a Blazer but it was a fun rig.

Took the tonneau cover off of my 09 Sierra and put on my 67. Fits good. Post pics later. Oh yeah I cut and buffed the paint yesterday. Made a heck of a difference. First time running a rotary buffer. Pics to follow

I got some new bumper mounts made up.

http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f1...806_170049.jpg

New brackets on top of the old one. You can see the difference in thickness.

And, the bumper all cut out. Lots of grinding and welding tomorrow.
