Truck looks great for a chebby. LOL J/K. I love the red and black just enough of both to be a great combo. The only thing I don't like and this is my pet peeve is your front bumper. I think its too tall.

Thanks Much Man.. The bumper in its former life was for pushing over trees on the trail but she is not a trail rig anymore..

Paul, It looks like it would do a great job of pushing over trees.

Dang, Paul. I'm not a Chevy guy in the least, but I think this has to be one of the sharper ones I have ever seen. I can't believe the amount of work and the transformation that took place. The red and blacl color combo goes so well together. Beautiful. I like it a lot. What a great project to share with your son. Neither of you will ever forget it. Please show more competed pictures when you get the chance. I had been following this thread the whole time, but this is my first comment on it. Great job.

We got little things in the works we are moving the shifter to the floor with the HURST truck floor mounted shifter and I have a few small decals being made for the truck and that is about it till next spring I think..But here is what we did last weekend..

We threw a HURST T-handle on the HURST shifter I put on the T-case shifter and a HURST shifter boot..

And then the floor shifter will go to the left on the side of the tunnel of the T-case shifter..

Added the the 3 bulb cab light and i smoked the lens on it..

And put the CB whips back on it, the cb will wait till I do the carpet and the stereo in it..

Thanks Much Neil we will have to see what they say.

Ok the kid and I did a little on the truck to day. Made some lower door panels today for the new speakers that will be in the door. Started with 1/2 MDF and did a 45deg bevel edge and then covered them with the same jut that I used on the head liner in the truck.

We got 2 sets of Memphis 6" mid and high range speakers and set of 3 inch in the center of the dash and then 2 Rockford 12 inch and a Rockford 500hd for them with a kenwood 165x4 head unit running the high end nothing major but will sound nice the kid has worked hard over the last year rounding these parts up for the truck. He was in the works to put a stereo in the truck before the mishap happened so these items did not pop up over night..

more tomorrow I hope is the weather is better..

OK ONCE AGAIN!! The weather is nice and time to get the old girl back out of the hole she was in for the winter and back at it!! Well it just so happens it is my sons 17 birthday today and since the truck is half his I got him a item on his WANTED list for the truck.. Picked him up a low profile Truxcedo bed cover for it..

http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g2...-57-36_894.jpg

And we have also be at the inside for the truck filling in the area in the dash and door panels where the chrome strip ran threw. I took some 1/4 plastic and traced out the old chrome strips and then cut them out and wrapped them with a new 3m material that looks and feels just like carbon fiber now the stuff is not cheap but well worth it.. Now some of my picks were taken with my phone but you will get the idea.

Door Panels

I also did the stainless with the carbon on my dash.
http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g2...-07-19_646.jpg
http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g2...4499737857.jpg

We have also added in a new Alpine deck and 6.5 in the doors and 3.5 in the dash running on a 250x4 Rockford amp and 2-12 inch Rockford subs and a 800 watt Rockford amp on the subs but Ill get picks on them here this week..
