Back home...
The truck is officially back home now for the finishing touches. Hopefully, a month worth of evenings and this thing will be ready to hit the road.
Driving it on and off the trailer with no seat was challenging enough... parking it into the corner of the garage needed some increased visibility, so I found a quick seat to use!

Thanks
A big THANK YOU for all the positive comments on the truck. My ideas are usually better than my abilities, so the credit for how it looks goes to those who have put the ideas into a reality. I am blessed to have some very talented friends who have made the truck what it is.

Re: 67 C10 SWB Build
Looks like the buddy buckets that were pictured belonged to a member named Hart_rod. They are not mine, but they sure do look great.

Quick Update
All - Again.. thank you for the comments. It sure does bring a smile to my face to read all the positive feedback.
Have done a few things since it has arrived home. The stereo is wired up, the front trim is all on. Tried to do the bumpers by myself, but came WAYYYYY to close to scratching paint a few times, so I decided I would need a helper to get them hung properly. I decided to go with the original style buckets & just not use the 91 Silverado seats that I had already had redone. The original buckets should be finished in about 3 weeks, so that is my drop dead date to be on the road. I will have everything done by the time the seats are done, so it should be a matter of bolting in the seats and going out for a ride. As for the wheels... I think I have thought about this more than anything else on the project. For now, I have decided to stick with the Torq Thrust wheels that were on it when I bought it. I have done some modifications to one of them just to see if I would like the "look". I think I am happy enough with it, so I hope to do the remaining 3 this week. There are just too many great wheels out there! I am sure that I will eventually get some 18's, but for now, I will stick with the 15's I already have. Just for fun, I have attached an obstructed view of the wheels. It is about time one of my helpers has her photo in here... This week I hope to get the bumpers hung, Fatmat & carpeting in and start work on the area behind the seats. Thanks all.

A little more progress...
Been a busy few weeks, so things have been moving slowly. The wheels are all done and mounted & the "FatMat" is all in. Need to get the speaker box built behind the seat too... kinda forgot about that. Late this week the bumpers will be hung, so we will just be waiting on seats! THANKS again for all the support!

I cheated...
It was a beautiful evening & I needed to get the truck to my shop for some final work later this week, so I decided to drive it for the fist time. I checked on the seats yesterday and they will be completed on Tuesday. So, with no seats, I sat on a cooler and drove it the 5 miles to my shop!
It ran beautifully and I was smiling the whole drive...
