Wasn't there someone looking to reproduce the heater delete firewall plates? Any chance you could make that happen? I'm sure the market is to small to make it happen, but I'm sure there are a few people that would be interested.

Glad to see a thread for ginger. It's looking REAL good. Progress on mine has come to a screeching halt unfortunately. But it's good to see you're still kick it hard core. We might have to make a trip back down when funds straighten out.

That is not the case at all.
I've been slacking really.
I just brought this thread up to date.

I wouldn't know where to start.
If I had any welding skills I would have just smoothed the firewall.

I did find an aftermarket company that makes one for A/C equipped trucks.

Patiently waiting for an update.....

tommyd241 · 07-12-2011, 04:11 PM

Simply amazing!

oldblue1968chevy · 07-13-2011, 11:20 PM

Awesome its about time!

mcbassin · 07-13-2011, 11:55 PM

Awesome project Keith! I knew it was going to be nice but had no idea what you had up your sleeve. I really love the engine/tranny setup. That chassis is first class too. Hard to believe there are trucks out there like this. More pics please.......Subscribed.

**lolife99** · 07-16-2011, 10:15 PM

Small update,... but a huge step for me.
Members hot trux and 72BlckButy stopped by to help me swap cabs.
This gets my '70 stepside cab off the '68 lwb "paint frame" and onto it's new frame,... the ex-n2billet "Tootsie Roll" Dropmember chassis.

Not only do I regain my daily driver parking spot in the garage,... but I have plenty to do now.
Thanks again to Jeff and Nate,... I owe you guys.
(also did a test fit of the stepside bed).
Here's a couple pics,...

Nice to have good friends, that's even better than a Killer truck..

n2billet · 07-16-2011, 11:09 PM

That looks GREAT!!!!! Progress is progress no matter how big or small.

The buffed cab really shows against the bed.....

Nice color. Anyone have side by side color comparisons of Medium Bronze, Bronze, and Metallic Bronze?

crawdadfox · 07-17-2011, 06:46 PM

Looks great....is that "Bigfoot" standing behind the pole holding a beer?!

My truck color is actually called Copper or Copper Poly.
(EDIT: see correction below. It's 4522 Bronze)

Huh, sorry about that. Looking at some previous pictures, yours looks very close to mine.
In some of your fender shots, I can see the copper difference. Must be the camera or lighting, but your cab looks identical in color to mine.
My SPID says Bronze Metallic I believe, def not Copper.

yours

mine

Really liking the engine you put together!

**67cheby** · 07-17-2011, 08:14 PM

wow..that thing is CLEAN !!

You are correct and I was incorrect.
I just looked at the glovebox door and it says "4522 Bronze".
My buddy had some old 1970 paint books,... and the 522 code said "Copper Poly".
Thanks for the correction.
Is your truck a '70 or '71?
