I did a little more work on the truck the past few days. I finished up the steering column and got it installed into the truck. I took my 72 auto column and tore it down and repainted and replaced everything inside so hopefully it works now! I just have to figure out what style of wheel to go with? Original or ???

I also installed all the door glass ( no good pics of that ) and replaced all the door hardware like cranks, latches, window regs, seals etc..... There was also a dent in the drivers door that bothered me so i took the trim off and straightened it out and it turned out pretty good!

Killer pogresss! Need to get motivated to get back on my '69.

Thanks for all the pictures and inspiration on that old truck. Now that I've got my ol green beast running, I'm antsy to get home from work every day and get another task done on my truck to make it better. I'm excited to see more progress. Cheers!

Nice work here. Door looks way better!

[6t9camaro]

Thanks guys! She's getting there!

I've been back and forth with leaving the firewall glossy or going with a flat clear and I've decided flat. I just didn't think shiny went with the overall rusty dirty patina look I'm going for. Heres a few more pics of some rework from shine to flat.

I also figured while I was at it id pull the heater boxes out of storage and clean them up! (Boring stuff!!!) I ended up rebuilding them by installing a new gasket kit, fan motor, heater core, cables and a quick shot of paint. They turned out decent and now i can get then installed and out of the way.

The firewall and heater box are both looking very nice. Good detail work!

[6t9camaro]

Thanks! I dug through my pile of heater boxes (3) and I couldn't find one that doesn't have a 3rd hole for the top heater core outlet. Anyone know why there's different holes? Different heater core options?

Time for a few more updates. Since I had the cab back off I figured id put the motor back in and modify (flatten) the trailing arm crossmember and fit up the trans crossmember. Once i got the trans crossmember in place I notched out a few spots for the exhaust pipes so they won't hang below the frame.

More Pics

Now that that was done I could move onto my exhaust! I took my cheap Chevelle headers and cut the collectors off and put the nice flowmaster ball flanges on. I also extended them and kicked them out to the frame a little for more trans clearance. They should fit and seal nice now!

Exhaust look great!

Looking so great. I keep revisiting this build thread because I can't get over how awesome this truck is going to be. Keep up the good work and keep us updated!

This truck is awesome. I like how you're blending the new paint. I used this thread as research when replacing my floor last year, thanks for the detailed write up!
