Jim-Bob I didn't put one in we "just feel" what gear it's in.
I did tell him if it becomes an issue that I could put one in for him though.

A small update on Blake's Truck.

We had a show in Corning Arkansas (where he lives) and he was going to enter it into the show so me and Dad took a trip to see how it did.

Pic #1. This was at the show on Saturday and it took 1st place in the Modified truck class.

Re: Blake's 67 GMC stepside build
Hey Guy's...Back with an update on Blake's Truck

I will be taking it to the NSRA Nat's here in Springfield and I have a few small projects that need to be done. Tint the windows,charge A/C and add Cruise Control.
Now for the Bigger project! Blake had bought a cover for it (has soft lining) and a cat has taken home in the bed! so between the cover and the cat it has taken it's toll on the paint. So I am in the middle of rubbing and polish

Pic #1. Passenger side is the worst, this is the top of rear fender.

Pic #2. Bed rail

Pic #3. back of cab

Pic #4. Top of cab

Pic #5. And the hood

As you can see the cover has done alot of rubbing and the cat has done the scratching, Both sides have damage. Will post shots when I have it rubbed out.

Mark

Re: Blake's 67 GMC stepside build
So after spending 8hrs or so on wet sanding rubbing and polishing I finally got it whipped!

Pic #1. Passenger rear fender

Pic #2. Back of cab

Pic #3. Roof

Pic #4. Hood and front fender

Pic #5. A nice profile shot.
It came out really nice in the end, still have some detail work to be done in the bed and the engine bay yet, will update as I get these finished.

Looks good! I expect Missouri is a lot like Texas in that you need tint on your windows to cut down on the heat!
