here's my trick mod....it only took about 30 seconds to do

Re: lets see your trick mods and custom touches!!
 

Kinda low-tech and easy. I mounted 2 pairs of Pilot brand fog & driving lights (one pair clear, one amber) in my bumper marker light holes. Yes, its on a 4x4 but I think it would look good a lowered rig too.

^Awesome pic! :metal:

Re: lets see your trick mods and custom touches!!

HERE'S ONE OF THE THINGS I DID. WELDED IN A ROLL PAN, FAB'D A LICENSE PLATE BOX, AND THEN WELDED IT IN AS SLANTED AS I COULD POSSIBLY GET IT SLANTED. JUST ENOUGH TO CATCH SOMEBODY'S EYE I HOPE. ONCE I GET A 1967 LICENSE PLATE FRAME, AND MY VANITY PLATE FOR IT THIS SUMMER SOMETIME, IT WILL ALL COME TOGETHER. (LOVED THE HANK WILLIAMS JR. BUMPER STICKER ON THE PREVIOUS POST, AWESOME!!:lol: )

Doing a search for gas filler options and came across this thread. I'd love to see more info/tech how to on this specific one. This is clean and exactly what I'd like to do with mine. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

This is pretty much all I've added so far. Map light out of a '88 F-150.

I didn't have any kind of dome light, and with the Panel I needed to put it above the windshield.

Re: lets see your trick mods and custom touches!!
 

dude, that is nice - it's different but still very original -

Re: lets see your trick mods and custom touches!!
 

dude, I like the white gauges - are they still original?

Re: lets see your trick mods and custom touches!!
 

fully custom truck

Re: lets see your trick mods and custom touches!!
 

Another member now owns this truck, but I rounded the bed corners (proof of concept run for my 61), made the door panels from deluxe/standard panels combined (I thought they looked pretty cool), and put F150 side mirrors on it:

Re: lets see your trick mods and custom touches!!
 

Then on the Suburban... Is a 476 a custom touch? :lol: Door panels (still not fully complete), new inserts in the seats (as seen via camera phone pic), Keeping the dealer installed roof rack (it's sorta custom, right?), and I just finished making these covered fiberglass kick panels. I'll post the installed pics later.

Re: lets see your trick mods and custom touches!!
 

Kick panels before covering, and the rack...

Re: lets see your trick mods and custom touches!!
 

Frizzle Fry- how will you mount the door panel inserts?. Are you going to install the pull knobs for the air vents so they are still functional?. Cool Burb!

Re: lets see your trick mods and custom touches!!
 

good looking deal. i asked you some ? on your other thread

Re: lets see your trick mods and custom touches!!
 

now that there is a get her done pic. looks bad ass

Re: lets see your trick mods and custom touches!!
 

01 chevy seats, 95 booster and master, and a custom gas fill in the box

Re: lets see your trick mods and custom touches!!
 

I've epoxied hardwood blocks to the back of the inserts. I'll just use wood screws through the panels and maybe some glue. I have the rear deluxe panels for making the rear inserts too.

Yes, drilling holes for the vent pull bracket is the next step on the kick panels.

Re: lets see your trick mods and custom touches!!
 

The gas filler is clean. Well done! Is the MC/Booster a simple install?

Re: lets see your trick mods and custom touches!!
 

One of my mods is a wood bed I made myself. The wood is poplar. I cut the boards to size (specs from GMC Pauls website), ran them thru a planer, cut the grooves for the strips with a table saw, put three coats of spar polyurethane on both sides, bought the unfinished strips form Mar K and painted them with 2 coats of Blue and one coat clear. I attached them over a one piece welded in steel bed. I first coated the bed with POR15 and then mounted the boards over closed cell pipe insulation (boards are on top of foam insulation so they have air under them). I drilled holes through the steel bed and used stainless steel bolts and self tighening nuts to secure it to the steel plate. It was alot of work but I'm happy with the results.

Re: lets see your trick mods and custom touches!!
 

Made an acrylic hood emblem insert out of florescent blue acrylic. Thinking about adding a LED to side light it when the head lights are on...


Some mildly custom door panels.

Also fitted 14in electric fans, One puller on the radiator, one puser on the condensor. Did quite get the AC cold enuf so now sitting on the shelf, waiting for me to put them on are a 508 compressor and Be-Cool condensor. Made a smoked Acrylic shroud to force all the air to flow through the condensor as well.

The front fan eliminated the room I had for my old hood pop, so I made up a new lever drilled a hole, and looked some cable through it. Ran this around one bar of the grill... It is all but invisible, and works great!


Also fitted late model C1500 seats..


Right now we are calling this truck FHFU... Fix his F*** ups (the previous owner was a hack) notice the cut doors and dash, the fact the when you turn on the fan, the compressor kicks on, etc etc.. LOTS of work to do... or re-do..

Re: lets see your trick mods and custom touches!!
 

that would be cool idea there Retro on liteing up the hood emblem.post pics after your done.

Re: lets see your trick mods and custom touches!!

barb wire grille

Re: lets see your trick mods and custom touches!!
 

Forgive me for saying, but, was that really custom or an "inexpensive" improvisation because you couldn't afford a new grille?

Not being sarcastic, just asking
