Can't wait for cruise nights.. Nice stuff Mike. Just read up on the tire tread incident. I laugh (with respect) how calm you sound on these things. It's a virtue I struggle to achieve.

Re: 1969 Short Wide
 

Thanks Molberg. I had to come to the realization I built it to drive, so I just take took it with a grain of salt on the tire tread incident. Now if some dumba$$ decides to door ding me, I might come unglued.

It's a total blast to drive. In fact I drove it to work today just for fun :metal::chevy:

Awesome pictures Mike.

Re: 1969 Short Wide
 

Awesome photo update Mike! The farm truck you parked next to is cool and I bet the black 71/72 is sweet too but your truck is clearly the coolest in that shoot. I bet it's fun to drive - JEALOUS!!

Re: 1969 Short Wide
 

Thanks Scott.
Thanks. I never get tired of driving it. :chevy:

Re: 1969 Short Wide
 

It's looking great! I can't wait to start driving mine. I've been throwing money at it so much it'll be nice to actually use it.

Re: 1969 Short Wide
 

Awesome build... If mine comes out half as nice as yours, I'd be extremely proud. I have learned a TON from you, thanks!

Re: 1969 Short Wide
 

Thanks Ryan. Sounds like you are back on track.
Thanks for the compliments. Thanks for checking out my build, glad to hear it helped you on your build.

I see you have a cruise control style turn lever on your column, is the cruise control working for you? I did a search of your thread and didn't find anything written. - Buck

Re: 1969 Short Wide
 

Hey Buck, Yes I have a stock cruise/turn signal lever. I bought it from member ls1nova71. My son wired it into the stock LS PCM/harness. MORE INFO
Yes my cruise works great. If you are using a Dakota digital lever/cluster setup I think it wires a little bit different.

Re: 1969 Short Wide
 

One more question, are you using a drive by wire setup or a cable? I'm guessing dbw but had to ask to make sure.

Re: 1969 Short Wide
 

I'm using drive by wire on my truck, but the setup works the same on drive by cable. My son's 86 truck is drive by cable and he used the stock cruise lever that came in his truck.

You have to love Oklahoma weather, our favorite tree got destroyed by lightening and now flooding has taken a toll on my driveway. On the bright side, I took the truck out Monday for a quick trip to the store. I got a little mud on the tires but it was worth it.
It has been weeks since I got to drive it.

Re: 1969 Short Wide
 

Mike, I gotta be honest, your truck could look better...if it was sitting in my driveway. Sorry to hear about your tree and typically if it hits you in OK it hits me in Northwest, AR. Truck is looking great.

Re: 1969 Short Wide
 

Thanks for the update, Mike. Been wondering how it was going.

Re: 1969 Short Wide
 

Love your truck Mike. There's a perfect twin K10 just down the road from me. I'll snag a photo.

Re: 1969 Short Wide
 

:metal: :chevy:
Thanks, I'm sure it would get muddy in AR. right now too. :)
All is good here Chip, thanks for checking in.... just working like a cheap burro...I'm ready to start on a new project just can't get the time.
Thanks.

Re: 1969 Short Wide
 

I never get tired of looking at pictures of your truck! It sure is a beauty!

Re: 1969 Short Wide
 

Truck looks good Mike.. I love the stance. Good thing it wasn't parked under the tree...

Re: 1969 Short Wide
 

Thanks Jason. I really appreciate it.
Thanks Mark. No worries about the trees and weather, as long as I can avoid the tornadoes..... I made a new home for the truck a while back, right next the Wife's Camaro :chevy:

Re: 1969 Short Wide
 

Your truck is looking great as always. The weather has been crazy this year. I'm tired of all the rain.

Re: 1969 Short Wide
 

Thanks! No kidding about the weather. It has been the worst spring for rain I remember.

Re: 1969 Short Wide
 

Man, that stinks about the trees! You guys in OK have been getting hammered with bad storms the last few years. Stay safe down there Mike!

Re: 1969 Short Wide
 

Glad to see that you are making it through the tornados and floods. Shawnee seemed to be hard hit the other night with water. This year has been a drastic change from last.
