That should be an excellent combo!

A top quality resto does take some time. Looks to me it will be well worth it when it's done.

Well it looks like progress is beginning to be made again. My dad decided he wanted to help out financially with the truck (it was his dads) and we have ordered just about all the replacement sheet metal parts that we need. We have also lined up someone for the metal work and hopefully he will begin in a few weeks.

Are those valve covers on the truck motor a dealer item? I am really liking them.

chevroletrestoguy · 05-28-2012, 12:36 PM

If I remember right, I ordered them online from Summit.

chevroletrestoguy · 09-01-2012, 10:08 PM

New progress.

It's been over 5 years to date. But here are the most current photos.

It's looking good. We spent 2 1/2 years on my son's truck. We kinda got burned out. Congrats on staying with it.

chevroletrestoguy · 11-16-2012, 04:55 PM

Actually, it's Lemans blue... And I can't claim all the work as mine. But thanks.

Looking good!!

BK'66Step · 11-16-2012, 10:52 PM

Truck looks great!! Hopefully I can get mine to look like that one day!! What size wheels/tires are you running? Look like Wheel Vintiques. Trying to figure out whether I want to run 15x8 wheels with 275 wide tires or 15x10's with 295 tires. Yours looks pretty much perfect!

They are wheel vintiques. 15x8 front and rear. I think the front tires are P245 and rear are 275. Thanks for the complement.

Cleaned up the guage cluster some. You can see before and after pics here. Also, cleaned up the wheels a bit and spray bombed the bare metal.

Truck is looking good! Your rocker panel and cab corner came out good. I was proud when I did both of mine. Good Job!
