George, don't get to attached to having a glove box. As soon as the Vintage air goes in the glove box comes out and does not go back in.

The truck is really looking nice!

I finally got the C50 on the road by the way. I may have a line on a set of fenders for my rear flares.

Re: 1968
 

Trucks looking great George!

Re: 1968
 

It was a card board first, fiber glass over the card board and then re-moved the card board after it set. fits good and will hold up for many years,

Re: 1968
 

swamp rat thanks and you too have a very merry Christmas
Dave I know about the glove box, I will have to shave it down a little and hopping it will work. If not oh well.
Scott thanks for stopping by and you and your family have a very merry Christmas

Re: 1968
 

George, that's great way to fix the weak glove box! Was it tough getting it back in when it was done? Did you bring it in from the back or the front? I may do my C50's that way. Regrettably the Vintage Air install does not leave much space left. I used my space for the amp for the radio. Ill send you a pic later.

So glad you truck is coming along, I forget is your engine/trans ready to drop in?

Re: 1968
 

ahh.. Thanks man

Re: 1968
 

wow the difference between 12/12 and now ...coming down the home stretch ....very nice work

Re: 1968
 

This truck is really coming together!

Re: 1968
 

It comes in from the back, A piece of cake. The hard thing is to remove the old card board. That took me a while.

Re: 1968
 

Thanks Jason. it is coming alone real good now.

Re: 1968
 

The engine and transmission has been in the truck for over a year now. been holding off buying a carb. I don't want gas to set in the bowl and gum up so I haven't got the carb. It was the same as the tires and wheels. Setting there for three years would not be good on the tires, DRY rot

Re: 1968
 

Yesterday it rained and today also and the same until Christmas. So I did not get anything done on the ole girl. That is what I deal with here is Florida, But at least it isn't snowing like up north

Re: 1968

Re: 1968

Re: 1968
 

Cool , That be another step forward for you. i just ordered my mufflers. should be here the same time as your bumper

Re: 1968
 

yea, I have been waiting a while to order them front and rear bumper one week apart, from different distributors. Then I can start on my rear bed wood. Going to plane and cut my own out of Florida cypress. This wood does not rot. George

got the conformation on the parts I ordered, they will be here on the 7th of Jan. 2015

Re: 1968
 

took it easy today. Ordered a rear door latch for the little wife's SUV. I have to do some honey do for her and keep mine going.

Re: 1968
 

took it easy again today. Waiting for the bumper.

Re: 1968
 

started working on my new shop today. Poured some concrete for the slab. It's a start

Re: 1968
 

George, I poured cement on Monday but not for a shop it was for my Grandkids Zip line platform. But I did make it big enough so i can park a car on it too!

How big a shop are you building?

Re: 1968
 

21x24 just got the walkway in the shop done.

Re: 1968
 

FedEx delivered the rear bumper today. I hope to install the bumper tomorrow. I have to get a set of stainless bumper bolts from Ace hardware, if they are open tomorrow. If not then the next day.

Re: 1968
 

Troubles, troubles, troubles. Well, it doesn't look like I will ever get the bumper on my truck. I ordered a step side bumper and they sent me a fleet side. I didn't notice until I stepped back from the truck. So I will have to send it back and I hope that the company will send me the right bumper. A fleet side bumper is 76 inches long. Way too long for a step side truck.
So I mounted the tag bracket to the holder bracket and the tag light. I repainted them all and they are ready to mount on the bumper when it get here.

Re: 1968
 

The company I purchased my bumper is giving me a run around about the refund. Seems like I have bit off more than I can chew on this bumper 196.58 down the tube.

Re: 1968
 

The company that I purchased the rear bumper said it would fit my truck, well Now they finally agreed that it want. So they are going to refund my money. I got this funny feeling that I might take a bath on this part. They said that they have to check the bumper out first. I understand that, but I still have this feeling. George

Re: 1968
 

This is what i would do.

If its clear they sent the wrong part they should up the anti and pay return shipping, call them and give then a chance to do this.

Take pictures of the bumper before packing it up, pack it up better than when they sent it and take pic's of the packing first before sending it back. Then give them a chance to give you the refund,

If they don't then let them know you frequent a forum with literally hundreds of viewers that would love to know they are not coming thru on there word with the refund, Let them know you will let post on line to let everyone know of your experience.

If they continue to give you a run around or say its damaged file a complaint with the Attorney Generals office.

Re: 1968
 

still waiting for my RMA number and a return slip.

Re: 1968
 

worked some more on my new shop. Getting the slab ready for concrete next month. new shop will be 21x24 this will be a really improvement of what I have. no more working on the dirt. The company that I bought the rear bumper from finally got off their horse and gave me a paid fedex shipping label today. So I sent back the bumper. So now it will be a awaiting period for my refund. They said 5 to 7 business days after they receive the bumper and they look it over. keep your fingers crossed for this to

Re: 1968
 

A shop? Lucky you!

Re: 1968
 

Just got tired of working in the dirt and weather.

Re: 1968
 

Still waiting for my refund on the bumper. Done nothing on the ole girl lately.

Re: 1968

Re: 1968

Re: 1968
 

Well guys the bumper money was refunded. So now I need to find a link to another bumper site. Any of your guys have bought a step side bumper and is pleased with the bumper give me the link or company.

Re: 1968
