That look really nice! I'm trying to talk my wife into the black and white hound's tooth inserts because the vinyl gets hot as a blowtorch in the California sun. She wants the original black CST brocade, but I'm not doing it. Originality be damned, given the scorch factor.

Thanks. They were upright on my computer. Not sure why they flipped. How did you fix it? I didn't see a way to edit the pictures.

**Boog** · 03-20-2021, 11:42 PM

This is common with pics taken with a phone. I also have had some that looked right in the saved pic folder on the computer but were turned sideways when posted in a thread. To correct it I open the pic in that pic folder and click edit, then rotate it 360* and save it. It will be correct the next time I post it. I always click the "preview post" button before submitting a post with a picture to ensure it is oriented correctly.
What I do is open the pic and select edit. I guess it depends on what photo viewer you use as to how you would edit the pic.
As for your pics I right clicked on yours then clicked save them to a pic folder on my pc then opened the pics individually and click edit, then clicked rotate 90* and exit the pic. Before closing the pic it asks me if I want to save the changes made which I do. Then I repost your pics in the correct orientation.
I'm no techy. This is just how I figured out how to do it.

Special order . No paint codes anywhere but I had the interior guned by my paint guy. Came back as Placer gold part of the Husky package that University Chevrolet in Seattle offered . Outside has had a repaint and they used Ochre but the inside of the bed firewall and interior are the original .

In the pic dash looks dark because of the lighting . The kickpanel is more accurate as to color

My wife hates vinyl (and leather) in a vehicle ,original was like yours with the dark cloth inserts so I put the black and white in it . Was going to go with the yellow hounds tooth but glad I didnt ... heres a pic of the swatch

That's the color for the 69 Daytona yellow Camaro interior .

I freshened up some 67 P01 wheel covers. The far right is an original I got off member “Already Gone”.

Made a 260 mile round trip for a set of '08 Tahoe 5 spoke 20s for the Sierra...snagged a good deal & 20mpg to boot!

Happy_dan · 03-22-2021, 06:35 AM

Some great stuff in this thread.

I installed the crank, pistons, cam and timing set on my engine rebuild.

Raptor Lined bed on my 72 project (3/21/21)...

67C10Step · 03-26-2021, 09:53 PM

Drove to OKC and picked up a new bed box for the stepside project. Great place and easy pickup.

Cool !! Are you gonna do a build thread with assembly details? If so I'm in for watching. Are you using new fenders or your originals?

toolboxchev · 03-27-2021, 02:34 AM

You guys are funny, the **** you have been able to accomplish is unreasonable in my bosses eyes.

I went to the eye doctor, called in sick to work. Told my boss I have an eye problem.

He asked "what exactly is going on?"

i replied, i just cant see myself working for you today.

This **** has gone on long enough!

**pjmoreland** · 03-27-2021, 03:01 AM

Installed a rear shock relocator kit and went for a test drive. The rear end feels noticeably more stable and planted when hitting rough sections of road.

fb111ewo · 03-27-2021, 10:48 AM

Got the front bumper installed today, next up - an exhaust system.

**Rich72C10** · 03-27-2021, 12:01 PM

Added a new air breather. Though I do like the stock look of the original, I like the sound better of the new one. It's not like I can look at the stock cleaner driving down the road but I can hear the new one suck in more air - especially when the Quadrajet kicks in when I go WOT!

Zoom!

PS: I think the previous owner lost the Air Cleaner rod (its a 1/4 20) that is 6 inches. It had to be really loose on the carb to even get a bite on the stock cleaner wing nut. The new one, no joy at all on getting a bite. O'Riley's didn't have anything and Lowe's only had the same 6 inch rod. So I bought that 6 inch road and a bag of couplers for some shade tree engineering. I sawed off the new rod from Lowes, put the rods together with a coupler, added extra nuts on either side with loctite it keep things from coming loose. It kind of looks "nuts" under the cover but as you can see I actually now have a bit of rod sticking up (before on the stock it was barely flush).

I’ve been considering starting a build thread. Been working on this truck for 22 months now. It’s technically road worthy but I’m not quite ready to put it on the road yet. Once I get the bed on maybe.

Thinking about mocking the bed together to verify all fitment before hitting it with epoxy primer. I’m going to use a really great set of original rear fenders. No dents and no rust. Just wish they were 67’s.
