They broke the first one, second one scratched it...

**The Rocknrod** · 05-27-2021, 10:29 AM

Took it to the upholstery shop in Waco to get the carpet, back wall and kick panels done.
Been waiting on wheels for two months.

**The Rocknrod** · 05-29-2021, 09:23 AM

Got the truck home, looks okay. Re-adjusting the throttle cable length now. Then I'll put in the seat.
Drivers door won't close all the way due to the press on door seals, may have to grease it up in a couple places and play with it to see if I can get it to sit right.

**The Rocknrod** · 05-29-2021, 01:02 PM

Put the seat in.

roll_the_dice · 05-29-2021, 02:38 PM

Looks great...well done!

**Joe Pass** · 05-29-2021, 04:32 PM

Very very nice

**The Rocknrod** · 05-29-2021, 05:34 PM

Thanks guys.

I ordered the Honda weatherstrip or door seal stuff today.

**The Rocknrod** · 06-08-2021, 04:00 PM

Got the floor mats in, they're okay.

Thanks man.

**The Rocknrod** · 06-21-2021, 09:16 AM

So I took it out for a local drive yesterday, drove it to a friends house up and down some hills until I had a "Grapes of Wrath" moment. My left front tire blew at the next door neighbors house. I got the tires and wheels at a junk yard when I started all this years ago. Hobbled home no damage.
On a positive note the truck never got very warm at all. With the temps I thought it might but it stayed way low on the temp gauge the whole time.

SCOTI · 06-21-2021, 09:51 AM

'Goodole Maypops'..... I think everyone has used that brand @ some point in their life.
Time for new rubber.

Ya I'm praying for my wheels to come in before I buy new tires. The neighbor is letting me use a tire and rim he has left over until mine come in.

**Joe Pass** · 06-21-2021, 10:58 AM

congrats.....fresh set of tires and wheels and your ready to hit the road

Thanks Joe - Two more weeks so they tell me.
I put the borrowed tire/rim on, it's a 26.9" diameter tire. The other was a 28" (235-75/15).
Was thinking of going with 27's in the front (16 inch wheels front, 17's rear) but now I'm not so sure about the 27".

joesscamaro · 06-22-2021, 08:37 AM

I agree with you. I think you could use a little larger tire in there and it would fill out the wheel well a little better. Truck is looking sharp!

aggie91 · 06-22-2021, 11:02 AM

Congrats on the first drive! Nice to know that your work is paying off. Glad there was no damage from the blow out...

SCOTI · 06-22-2021, 01:30 PM

What wheels did you decide to go with?

**The Rocknrod** · 06-22-2021, 01:47 PM

Chrome American five spoke.

**The Rocknrod** · 06-25-2021, 02:13 PM

Just got off the phone with Fozzies Wheels, the Chrome American five spokes should be shipped starting (hopefully) Saturday. One box from LA and another from Ohio I think.

SCOTI · 06-25-2021, 02:34 PM

Anticipation.....

88Stanger · 06-26-2021, 12:16 PM
