I wouldn't live with it, that looks terrible. You have a beautiful truck and it should be done right. Do you have a short water pump? (Can't tell in pics). Tell VA you want the mount that uses the front of the head and manifold bolt to mount (check out my VA link in my sig for pics os mine.)

Not alot new to speak of, I finally had my vintage air system charged. Truck is running pretty hot now because I still have a 2wd shroud. I did modify the vintage air compressor mounting bracket, I moved the compressor over to the next set of holes and then made a new adjustment bracket, I think it looks much better in this location. I think i'm going to shorten the allthread to clean it up somewhat.

Well, the first attemp at chargind didnt work out so well. Before he charged it he noticed I had the drier installed backwards(Vintage Air does not provide very detailed instructions for this part). We turned it around without replacing the o-rings. So, it did hold vacuum for an hour but on the drive home it lost all of the freon. I replaced all 4 that I backed off and am going to have him inject dye this time to make sure theres no other leaks. It blew cold for a little while ;)

I was looking through your build and love your seat cover (and truck!!). I am looking to have a tourquise one made for my 67 swb custom cab. I was just wondering if you had any info on where your upholstery guy got the fabric for the inner panesl. I have looked into nos fabric that is pretty pricey. Just curious if this is what you went with?? Thank You!!

Kennystrucks.com is where I got all of my interior. He gets the covers pre assembled.

Very nice build, good work and attention to detail. I know the struggles of having to put your truck together by yourself. It sucks at times.

Ya know, I had the same reaction as I watched it sell. Same guy was selling a 4x4 blazer that was the same color. It brought 75,900. I was watching these closely. There were no other 67-72 4x4's that got close to this price. 39k "I think" was the next highest price on a 72 SWB 4x4 and it was black and white. I guess it was this guy's lucky day.

I was happy, he was happy. Definition of a good deal for everyone. I do wonder who and where my truck ended up though? Ive been keeping an eye on craigslist and Ebay with no results.
