damn man, you got me all excited...then WHAM!!!

that wheel looks good, why didn't you go ahead and swap the column?

JohnC · 07-15-2009, 01:36 PM

Sorry man. PM sent.

I figured I would just wait until I messed with the interior. That and until I figured out what I will do with the wipers.

joe231 · 07-15-2009, 01:48 PM

so you said you would like something like the headlight switch to power your wipers.....
how about one from a 64-66 chevy truck, it is a 3 position switch that you turn off-low-high, even has a washer button in the middle

Yep that's pretty much what I'm looking for. I just think it would be different, but still look like it was a factory thing. Not just stuck on there.

joe231 · 07-15-2009, 04:19 PM

I can probably get you a complete original next time I go to Stratford.

JohnC · 07-15-2009, 04:34 PM

That would be cool. No rush though. You see how I am progressing!

How about blue with metallica gray interior? Just being a rabble rouser

. I dig the bed without the bars. Looking slick bro.

joe231 · 07-15-2009, 08:46 PM

JohnC · 07-16-2009, 07:52 AM

I wouldn't mind doing a Metallica paint! Their old stuff, not the new stuff though. It's just not the same!

Hey I have an update!!!!!!! Truck is now in garage! Don't know how much of an update it is, but it's something new! No pics though, I know, I know! Now I'll start getting the motor pulled, and the engine compartment cleaned up for the new motor.

Cool. You have just enuff time to get the front clip pulled and have pics posted for when we all get on-line tomorrow.

JohnC · 07-20-2009, 07:44 AM

I guess your new to the pace at which I work on my truck!

I think I have decided to leave the front clip on. I was considering it to do some more cleaning, and painting. However, I think I can do all I need with it on.
