Thanks man.

76/85 Truck · 07-03-2010, 05:11 PM

Can't wait to see the finished product. That's awesome

GMC91 · 07-04-2010, 01:54 AM

I didnt do much today. I went to my aunts house with some friends and went swimming. But I did manage to get one fender put on. Its not aligned or bolted down, but its on. I also got the core support painted.

Some good cheap stuff lol, I dont have a job so I got to use some of the cheaper paints on stuff that aint seen.

I started cleaning the fender that aint painted.

Hope you all enjoy

oldblue1968chevy · 07-09-2010, 10:27 AM

what happened?......

no updates on the truck

GMC91 · 07-09-2010, 01:39 PM

Dude I was really drunk last night. I just pulled over to the side of the road about 50 feet from were I was and called my dad.

ROB84 · 07-09-2010, 03:29 PM

LOOKING GOOD MAN! I GOT A ? FOR YA! i think i noticed your ac box removed but the heater fan there ! how did ya go bout doing taht. can you post a picture of that!?thanks man

GMC91 · 07-11-2010, 12:59 AM

ROB84, my truck came like that. It never had AC, just a heater.

After a not so good weekend, I got some progress made. Tell me what you think.

oldblue1968chevy · 07-11-2010, 11:39 AM

your gettin there! You gonna make your aug. deadline?

GMC91 · 07-11-2010, 12:17 PM

Probally not, but I dont care anymore. Im loosing motivation to build this thing.

oldblue1968chevy · 07-11-2010, 12:25 PM

well can you put it together so its driveable? Then paint/work on it as you get the interest? Your doing great work it looks about finished, just a lil more work. Hang in there I think you will be happy when you get it done!

GMC91 · 07-11-2010, 12:38 PM

Well, I need every seal possible that you can put in a door and windshield, so thats around $200, plus I need a windshield so thats $100, then I need more primer and thats $80. And I have no job, and even if I found a job, I would have no way of getting there. So that is why I am loosing motivation.

GMC91 · 07-11-2010, 05:12 PM

There has been a new plan for the truck. Im gonna get the cab done, primered, all new seals. Throw the truck back together, get a job, and then finish the truck. The bed of this truck is to far gone for me to want to try to save it, especially when I want a step-side for it anyway. So I will get it driveable then save up for a step-side bed for it.

oldblue1968chevy · 07-11-2010, 05:16 PM

a step side?!?!?!?

Probably a good idea. Get it back together and driveable. Then tackle it in small portions. But a step side?!! Are you ok man? lol

Chlsnk · 07-11-2010, 07:47 PM

Man stepsides are the best!

GMC91 · 07-11-2010, 11:20 PM

Man I love a step-side lol, I tore into a motor I had laying around today. Found out its been bored .30 over and has flat tops. So Im gonna re-seal it and put it in the truck for now.

oldblue1968chevy · 07-12-2010, 12:41 AM

i thought it was a running driving truck before? new gaskets and paint it she will look good!

GMC91 · 07-12-2010, 02:15 AM

The motor that is in it has not oil pressure, so something is wrong lol. I am gonna swap out the motors before I get stranded somewhere.

oldblue1968chevy · 07-12-2010, 08:37 AM

psht what you worreied bout, i have 15psi all the time lol..

GMC91 · 07-12-2010, 01:01 PM

LOL, I literally have zero pressure.
