Well what are you waiting for I hear you, I feel the same way when I look at my truck sometimes

Yeah I just hope I like the side trim on there after I drill holes all over the truck.

Thanks Travis, I'm keeping a relatively stock looking interior and I think these gauges in a stock bezel will compliment it perfectly.

Keep up the good work!
Thanks I think this is where I'm leaning towards, bright Red body with a White grill to set it off and White letters on the tailgate.

Thanks, your making some nice progress on yours too. I know your looking for wheels and believe me I know how hard it can be to find the right ones

No problem Chad they are Hedman Chevelle mid-length part number 68618. I'm pretty sure Hedman makes a C-10 small and big block specific mid-length header now. You should check into those.

Thanks Mike, looks like I will be going in that direction. It will look similar to yours except for Red. I just hope it comes out half as nice as yours.

Thanks, yeah I have made some changes on wheels and the last one changing from the Vintecs to the Retros was probably a stupid one but oh well. At least I didn't really lose any money on that one. I had a lot going on in my life then and wasn't thinking with a clear head. Sometimes I wish I would have kept them, oh well that's the way life goes. It's ok though, I love the Intros, they look awesome and I really don't see them much. I plan on keeping this truck for a long long long time so this is definitely not the last set of wheels it will have maybe one day you will see Vintecs on this truck again
