Thanks... She drove great on the first few trips... the power steering didn't get to working though.... so after 2 weeks we installed a new pump today. WOW what a difference. We haven't had any problems at all (other than the power steering pump).. but I made sure we checked and double checked EVERYTHING before we took it out of the shop. Jon I'm sure didn't like having to wait longer, but it was all worth the wait. Driving around looking across that hood though sure is SWEET !!!! Nothing like seeing everything reflected in the paint on the hood.

Fantastic!!! That's super AWESOME!

70LonghornCST · 05-13-2011, 11:52 PM

It's like stepping back in time and entering the showroom floor. Congrats on a sweet build!

mcbassin · 05-14-2011, 12:33 AM

What can I say? Amazing! you have totally restored this truck in short order. Hard to believe how fast you guys knocked it out.

CUSHE63 · 05-14-2011, 08:12 AM

Thanks guys for all the positive comments. It has been a long and sometimes bumpy road. Jon and I were working late last nite to get the moldings and carpet installed. While working on it I told Jon I was done for the nite.... and an hour and 1/2 later we went home........still need the tailgate band and upper tailgate moldings, and headliner...then it will be all together.

**Dieselwrencher** · 05-23-2011, 03:44 PM

You guys, it keeps looking better every time I look at your thread! You guys should be proud!

RCbowtie69 · 05-28-2011, 01:14 PM

Very nice!!!! Keep on Truckin''

Mykkah · 06-29-2011, 08:22 PM

Gorgeous restoration! Is that a factory paint color? It looks close, but it looks like it's got metallic flake in it. Was that something that was available then? I'm looking to paint mine something like that as well and would love to know the paint code if you know it...

Thanks and great job again!

capev86 · 06-29-2011, 08:39 PM

i see you deviated from the factory options list on a couple items.

why anyone would go with those gawd-awful "sport" mirrors is beyond me. they'd be perfectly fine on a camaro, but they SUCK on my Burb. can't see a darn thing when i want to back up, change lanes, etc.

the original tripod mirrors looked to be in good shape....do you still have them (and willing to sell)? i think they are in nicer shape than the pair i already picked up for my truck.
