Nothing much new done, work has been taking a lot of my time latley. I finally got around to ordering body mounts. I was in a hurry to get the truck painted and out of the shop when we set the body back on and the originals are in right now.

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 04-26-2013, 12:11 PM

Burb is looking good thats gonna be a lot of bling to look at while driving..

blfuller123 · 04-28-2013, 02:39 PM

Got the new body mounts in and I sure had the old ones wrong. Got them all put in properly and I actually lowered the body about an inch lower than it previously was.

blfuller123 · 05-17-2013, 07:00 PM

Got the steering linkage.

Got new firewall insulation and started putting sound deadner down. I should have that finished up in the next couple of days.

Steering linkage looks great. Your running a BBC right? What headers are you running on it.

BBC was the original plan, even have a standard 454 block here in the garage, but the more I think about it, I may be doing a SBC.

I got the rest of the front floor finished up and the roof in the front done. I cant do much more with the back floor until I decide how I am going to do a gas tank. I can cut the floor and use a stock style tank or have one made that fits under the floor, but if I do that, im afraid I wont be able to use a reciever hitch.

I was at a shop this past weekend and they had an Old Air add on kit that I think I may end up using for the rear A/C. It would be fairly easy to add to the roof in the rear and I think it may be small enough to incorporate into a console and just have vents for the rear seat.

Lookin good! If you don't mind me asking, how much of the sound/ insulation did it take?

I started with 100 feet, have some left over with what ive done, but will use more in the back when I get the floor finished.

blfuller123 · 05-25-2013, 09:16 PM

My rear door panels are in pretty bad shape and I was thinking I could just recover them myself with some vinyl. The first didnt turn out like I wanted at all so I am going to find another pair or have someone cover the ones I have. Anyone know anyone making repros?

5150 · 05-26-2013, 12:39 AM

Don't know of anyone making repops. I've got a WTB ad for a third door one and not having any luck. Apparently like civil war gold bars.

I havent really done much with Alice latley and decided its time to start working again. I just ordered a new painless wire harness and im trying to decide what brake booster im going to use so i can finish up the brakes.

blfuller123 · 07-19-2013, 04:05 PM

That was fast getting here...looks like its goting to take a little longer to put in.

NewType72 · 07-19-2013, 05:49 PM

I'd say that was fast

now you'll be plenty busy with that

blfuller123 · 07-25-2013, 10:14 PM

Got the harness installed and I now have lights

I ordered it from Jegs and they were running a special when you ordered a harness you got a wire loom kit with it. The loom kit is back ordered so it still not finished.

blfuller123 · 07-28-2013, 05:27 PM

Finally got a motor, its a 383 that a guy had built for a 67 SWB with porterbuilt suspension that he decided to part out. When I picked it up, it was still sitting in the chassis and the long tube headers fit.

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 07-28-2013, 06:57 PM

Nice score..

blfuller123 · 07-28-2013, 10:46 PM
