Finished installing the drivers door glass and new seals. Also installed new cab mounts. I didn’t realize they had gotten this bad. The cab sits up so much better the body lines up with the bed much better.

Jim,
Glad to see you back! I've been meaning to text you but just haven't taken the time. Been using all my spare time on the old truck to make some progress.

Thanks for the comments. I may have went too far on the wood. Probably should have just painted it but I can always do that at some point.

I'll holler at you sometime to see if you got time for lunch or something.

Sure. I've got lots of time.

Not much to report. Loads on minor jobs knocked out. Drove it into town just to give it’s a shakedown. Overall a happy guy with the new cab mounts. Next adventure is getting the bed work done so I can install the side trim.

Thanks. I’m trying to keep it clean. I installed the condenser kit from vintage air and was thinking about installing a under dash kit I have from my suburban but I ordered the vintage air kit. Who knows when I will get it 😄 I already installed the dash vents for it. It’s funny to think I was only setting out to make my work truck a bit nicer and now it’s looking a bit flashy.

Mine is a 67 chevelle wheel and I popped the truck horn button on it. I have done this on a few of my trucks. Works perfectly.

Started assembling the short fleet bed kit. Fit together really good. Had to oblong a few holes. Will get to the tailgate in a few days. One picture of the truck with the stepside bed.
