I actually used a plastic handle form a jar opener that fit in the gaps perfectly. I tapped gently until they came right out.

I got my wheels sanded and painted. Now to get the truck up on jack stands and take the ralleys to get the rubbers off and on my white rims.

Where did you get your wheels?

I got the 2 6'' at pull a part and the 8'' from a board member here. I bought four of 8'' and decided to do 6'' on the front. Sold the two other 8'' and tried to sell these but nobody would send the $. So I decided to use them and sell the rallies. I'm going to run my GMC hubcaps I got from Tim. I'm going for a plain jane look. I may paint my grille that I have for mockup and run it with chrome bezels and bumper. I have to see what that will look like first though. I think most trucks that were plain had white bumpers and grilles and bezels too.

I just sent payment to a board member for a Power steering pump and brackets for my big block. So I have almost all of that bb stuff. When I rebuild the 454 I'll buy an aftermarket intake and carb. The way gas prices are I may stick with my 350 though for now.

Re: Chucks SWB Fleetside
 
I got the big block PS pump and brackets in the mail yesterday. The seller included a new pump with it that will need a canister pressed onto it. The pulley on the pump w/ the canister was bent pretty good. I figure the usps people dropped it. I'll find another one when I get the motor rebuilt and need one.

Chuck,

Looks great!! Your garage looks a lot cleaner than the last time I saw it too. :lol:

I am still waiting on Brothers to send me the tailgate parts kit so I can finish the bed on mine. Of course I will have to dig it out of all the boxes and stuff in the garage left over from the move first.

Keep up the good work. Hope I can get back to Clarksville soon. Maybe i'll wait till all the storms pass!
