Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

I've got the new rear end installed with the posi and 3.73 gears. And all I can say is uhm.....:jdp:....:ennyd:...:burnout:

Here's some pictures of the ZZZZZZZr and the GASSER.... :D.

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

I'm definitely a big fan of the sleeper!!!:D

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

Here's a quick interior update: I got the new seats installed as well as some new 3 pt seatbelts. I still have to install the arm rests, visors and redo the dash pad. I should get that taken care of by th end of the week. What do you think?

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

I think its pretty damn sweet and I'm jealous!!!

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

Nice.
How many sets of "buddy buckets" do you own?

Cool truck!

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

Thanks!

Uhmm, just a couple.....2 for the Burb, 2 for the Crew and 1 for the 68, :sexy:.

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

Where did the seat belts come from?

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

They are aftermarket. I got them from someone on the board and I'm not really sure of the brand. I'll see if I can figure it out. They were pretty easy to install and have worked well so far.

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

Rob, did you have the seats redone by an upholstery shop, or did you refoam and cover yourself.....

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

The foam was good. I bought the covers (PUI) from boardmember DPASSMORE and had them installed by my upholstery guy.

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

Thanks, they look good.....

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

if you decide on the sleeper and want to get rid of the Welds let me know
BTW the seats look great

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

Nice upgrade Rob....I'd be interested in the seat belts too if you can find the info....Thanks

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

These look very similar....

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

Rob did you use the retractable ones? If so, does the retractable part fit in ok?

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

They are retractable and fit really well. The drivers side bracket is set up to move it away from the gas tank. My tank is in the rear so I'll, probably just modify that bracket to move it back like the passenger one.

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

So Rob...these were just a straight bolt in....no fabbing like some other universal belts I've seen or heard about??

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

Exactly! 8 bolts and about 30 minutes to install.

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

very nice! thanks I will buying a set of these!

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

I think these may have come from Autoloc, but I'm not sure. They have a picture of a globe in the release button.

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

I finally got the fuel cell removed and all the holes welded up the bed, :metal:. Here are some pictures...

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

why did you get rid of the fuel cell

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

This......:D.

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

whats wrong with it

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

I want more room in the bed, so I'm putting the tank underneath.

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

oh i thought you were completely removing it

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

I did, :). I'm using a Fuel Cell Guy tank in it's place...:metal:.

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

what are you doing with that one

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

I sold it to a local boardmember, :metal:.

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

Nice work Rob, and excellent fab skills!

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

Nice work Rob, she's cleaning up well!

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

I guess the bed floor will need a little 'patina' to match its surroundings now!!!:D

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

Subscribed. I really like this truck Rob... Hell I like all of them!

Oh, I like the Welds on it but the rally sleeper look good too.

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

Just read the whole thread. Love it.

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

rob, what do you do on the vent? i mean, do you leave it open or put a pressure valve in it, or what???

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

Thanks! I'll post some better pictures when I get it back together.

They offer bedliners in a lot of colors, but I don't think "patina" is one of them...;).

Thanks. The ralleys look good, but the big "fatties" in the back look bada$$ :metal:.


Thanks!

I've got a little air filter looking thing that I picked up at Advanced Auto. I'll post pictures tomorrow.

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

I agree:metal:

Re: 68 S/C update.....
 

Before and after pictures of the bed....

Re: 68 S/C update.....
