Progress pics on the 69 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**too much stuff** · 12-20-2020, 07:00 PM

Stopped by the body shop and got some pics last week. Took a little work to get all of the bucket seat brackets correct. Slowly but surely...
Found a few pin holes in the lower driver door and had to weld a patch in it.

Looking Good

Will you leave the floor-pan painted?
Or will you undercoat it?

Nice progress can’t wait to see color on it!

**special-K** · 12-21-2020, 06:49 AM

Great progress. Bet that feels good. Getting the cab done is a giant step

**Dieselwrencher** · 12-21-2020, 08:12 AM

That is looking really nice Eric!

Been years in the making so far. Seems overboard for a driver.

Thanks, this guy turns out some great work, but there is nothing quick about it...

**too much stuff** · 08-07-2022, 11:31 AM

Been awhile, but some progress is being made...

**too much stuff** · 08-07-2022, 11:34 AM

Starting to put a few things back in place and sorting through years worth of collecting. I am sure i will find doubles on some things...

CG · 08-07-2022, 11:53 AM

I didnt even know you were having one done, I need to pay better attention. Its really looking great!

Sometimes its hard to keep track of which one i am tinkering on. This one has been in the works for MANY years...

**72 tigger** · 08-07-2022, 05:49 PM

That’s going to be sweet Eric!

Accelo · 08-08-2022, 01:00 PM

I noticed it's siblings in the background.
Also an automatic truck. You going to stay with the THM-350 or going overdrive?
Buckets to boot. I love the bucket seat trucks.

Looks like a very sweet ride.

There are a few siblings around here. I am sticking with the TH350. I switched from 3:73s to 3:07s and with a 33" tire i think it will be a decent cruiser.
And yes, all of the correct bucket seat brackets are in place.
Thanks.

67-72trucks · 08-08-2022, 10:46 PM

Looking great!!

**too much stuff** · 02-18-2023, 06:00 PM

Still making some progress on things. Just cleaning up an old 68 327 i had for the time being.. Will probably have an engine built later down the road.
Evidently going from a rockwell to a 205 is not a bolt in and go process. That got quite involved.
Found a cool old trans pan also... (pic 1)

Warrens69GMC · 02-19-2023, 12:40 AM

Looking good!

**72 tigger** · 02-19-2023, 08:16 AM

That 327 will be a good power plant. Everything looks good

**special-K** · 02-19-2023, 10:00 AM

Yeah, I agree. Use the 327 for now and when you are ready to replace it, rebuild it!

**70STOVEBOLT** · 02-20-2023, 11:01 PM

What’s with the holes in the trans pan?
