I think I will finish my little build before you.

Rich916 · 07-15-2013, 05:09 PM

I had a running truck now i have a "Driving" truck. Got the brakes bled out, configured my 3-speed tranny linkage, and replaced the harmonic balance.

Yes, I'm driving it up and down the street as you see it, sitting on a speaker box with a big grin and a hearty wave to the neighbor's

knomadd · 07-15-2013, 05:49 PM

I did that with my GTO when I had her apart for paint. It may have taken you longer than your original scheduled build, but the end result will still be worth it. It's looking great so far.

Hey Rich small world I was going to ask Nick if you came to this site next time he came by the house oh sorry for not introducing myself I'm Eric Kayla's younger brother.

PAINT!!!
Picked it up yesterday. Base coat with a matte clear.
Pictures with cell phone don't do much justice-very happy with how it turned out.
Bed goes in this weekend.

Rich916 · 12-17-2013, 12:19 PM

OK, starting to get some things rolling. Had a day off (woohoo) and took advantage of it! Some bed assemblycompleted.

I know exactly what you mean. In can find time to surf this forum let alone find my next truck

Rich916 · 12-20-2013, 07:46 PM

Just a few more cell pics...tailgate installed

shawno72 · 12-20-2013, 08:52 PM

I'm jealous.

Rich916 · 01-27-2014, 02:39 PM

Well, a few more up-dates. Got my outer and egg crate installed.
Lots of massaging and adjusting to get the right fit.

Rich916 · 01-27-2014, 02:44 PM

One more showing rear lights

Rich916 · 01-30-2014, 07:07 PM

Sitting on tires and wheels. I went with 215/75 on my stock 15" steel wheels.
powder coated wheels...Its a lot of orange.

I originally was considering a gloss black wheel.

Rich916 · 01-30-2014, 07:12 PM

Not sure I got a good match on the color of the wheels also. The orange on the truck is “hugger”.
Wheels look a shade too light.

Opinions please

Fatherof3 · 01-30-2014, 07:30 PM

Truck is looking great!
And it's sure nice of you to let your neighbor keep his Prius in your driveway too.
