Re: And so it begins................

I would have left the truck alone. aside from the seat needing a fresh blanket every month or 2 it looks done. you do have a 402 and ac after all.

Ah ha! And right you are young grasshopper! However, I just put in a new A/C compressor, Drier, and 134a freon. I'll take some pics as soon as I get a chance.

Just so you know, this isn't going to be a "patina" truck...........

I picked up a used JVC shaft mount stereo and a pair of refurbished Sony 6x9's at a local audio shop for $100.00

Re: And so it begins................

OMG that truck is a beast!!! I have a sub on my computer and the sound of the exhaust was rattling the license plates on my walls! I'm jealous. My little 6 banger will never sound like that. I can try though.

The wheels are Cragar Nomad ll's from Summit Racing. 15x10 on the rear and 15x8 on the front. The tires, also from Summit, are 295/50/15 and 255/60/15. I'm gonna go with something a little taller next time though.

I'll get a better shot of the side this weekend.

Somebody told him the back ones were gonna be too short, but the jury hasn't found a verdict on that case yet.

Thanks! It's getting that way already. Santy Claus showed up the other day in his big brown sleigh wearing a UPS uniform but I know who it REALLY was.

Not having any luck with the JVC shaft mount stereo though. It seemed to work ok on the test bench but when I put it in the truck it was "no go". I may have to look for another one.

If you're not ahead of me now then you probably will be in the near future! I'm not doing a full restore. I just want to play with the truck and have fun. Not everything will be factory like the stereo, seat, wheels, etc. But it will be fun to drive. The paint/body work will probably be the last thing I worry about unless some overzealous, hyperactive, truck enthusiast forces me to let him do it for free!!

All 4 are too short. They'd look better on a chevelle. I'll have to see how fast I can burn em off to get some taller ones.

See look at all that new interior stuff, and you said you weren't going to! Have you let Joe or Jason whisper ideas in your head?

Re: And so it begins................

I know that's right, I'm gonna hide my truck in the trees and walk the rest of the way to the good trucks.

And just for the record, it's the boy that's lookin for a Patina truck, not me! I'll get to repairing the floorboards, cab corners and painting it later. Gotta get the important stuff out of the way first like a stereo!!

Speaking of stereos, that 4 channel JVC I had such high hopes for let me down. Tuner wouldn't pick up anything worth a flip. Had to go with an old Pioneer Supertuner3. I guess it will work but it's only 2 channels and not as powerful either.

No need to park in the trees. Everyone's truck is sweet in it's own right. Some, like mine, are further away from completion than others, but it's still nice in my eyes! Part of what makes a truck nice is it's capabilities to be all it can be!

Re: And so it begins................

Yeah, it had 22w per channel which is good for a shaft mount stereo, it had 4 channels, it had the blue amp remote wire, it had the original faceplate and knobs and everything seemed to be fine but when I hooked it up I couldn't get a clear station. Anyway, I put the Pioneer in for now so at least I'll have a radio for a while.

Listen, there is a pretty good looking Kenwood on ebay right now that only has 8w per channel but it appears to be a really nice unit for 100.00 if anyone with amp is looking for a shaft mount head unit.
