I love this truck and if it sells I will probably regret it. On the other hand I get board and I could use the cash to pay off some business loans

Seriously guys, these press on seals from precision are sweet. Look at the fit and finish on them.

I've got the full-meal-deal in boxes from Precision. Just gotta finish the truck so I can use it all! Your truck is outstanding man. The best looking model from '67-'72 and the color scheme is timeless COOL! Your version of it, in this day and age is right on the money.

Thanks everyone.
I had a bolt vibrate loose from one of the stainless strips and a small rattle, so I took some wood out to fix and it looks like a good time to clean the chassis.

Upgrading the tunes. Talked to classiccarstereos.com. they have killer customer service. If you guys need audio needs, I highly recommend them. I decided to upgrade to some 6.5" Rockford Fosgate and a powered sub under the seat. I'm not looking for anything other than a decent sound. So far I javelin the door speakers in and they sound great. I'll get the sub installed in a couple days. Both boxes came with all the wiring etc to install. :metal:

Seth,
These seals look great. Can you shut your doors normal after they are installed? Or do they require a "break-in" period? I have the glue on seals now, they are okay but my passenger side is hard to shut.

It all depends on how the doors are adjusted. Mine did require a "break in period" too. But I think they were worth it

Huge upgrade in the shock department. QA1 should be just right. These not only look great but can be adjusted for stiffness as well. Yup, recommend!

Pictures soon
