Thanks John, I appreciate it Zig, will do my best Except for mirrors and door windows wiring is done. Oh, also need to wire console gauge then stereo. Guess it never ends. Lol Inside of cab wires finally cleaned up Wired horns in today
Love it, love it, LOVE IT!!! Man that is clean!!! Guess it's time to Google "PIAA Sports Horn". (Not sure I like something that has "PIA..." as part of it's name, however.)
I'm hoping those sound like the good ole Chevy "move or prepare to get run over" horns from the 60's and 70's. _____ John
No problem Nate, let me know when? Lol John, those horns are deep and loud. Will have no problem letting people know I'm there.
Very nice with great attention to detail. AC is a necessity in Phoenix where I'm at. Really like the vents in the lower drop down on the dash - where'd you get them? What's the airflow like? Any other vents besides these four? Would like to add them to my 'idea' file for my build Thanks, Phil
Looks like somebody is having some fun now! Saaaaaweet, Rico!!! Won't be long at all before you get to DRIVE this beauty! Outstanding work! Don't forget that you can post videos, too. Just sayin~
Thanks Phil, Vintage Air sent me some plastic vent holders to hold the vents and I Thought they were cheap and flimsy so I had a friend made me some out of 18g sheet metal. Thank you Zig, as always full of compliments! Few more things done, hook up the Vintage Air controls and installed my grill and hooked up the headlight LED's and the signal light LED's, also the bezel around the signal lights are powder coated satin black just like the license plate frame. In the picture only the LED's are on not the headlights. The headlight LED's are extremely bright. Also my gauges came with these little buttons that allow me to program everything, I fab a bracket so they would not just hang down and get damaged.
Nate, very nice of you to think I could do a job for you, but I have never done anything like this and it's one thing to take a chance and work on my own truck. But, to do it to someone else's is different. I appreciate the confidence and it makes me feel great to see other truck Guy's appreciating the job I did, but after 8 months of working on the bodywork and seeing what body guy's go through. I see why they charge so much.
Hey Rico, Been following this thread for seems like forever. Great job on everything. Real quality here, man. What front suspension are you using? Thx, Andy
Thanks Andy, yes it's been 2 1/2 years since I started. Anyways, my front suspension is a Mustang II with 1" shorter a-arms which are tubular and disc brakes. Came from a company called JW Rod Garage in Wi.
Had a little problem, found out when you only use LED's there is not enough load in the system so my flashers and turn signals did not work. I had to buy load resisters and install them on both sides at the front turn signals to make them flash. I also put my 20's on finished my A/C lines and started on the interior panels
Looks absolutely great, the color is amazing, not so sure about the wheels though, but it´s your truck of course
My wife pick out those wheels, so I will keep that between you and me. Lol Finished the driver side panel and put the rack in the bed today!
" Finished the driver side panel and put the rack in the bed today! " ~ You don't let her ride in the cab with you ? My Lady would be furious .
The panels I bought are not complete, they have to be fitted on the door. Then mount a bracket behind the panel cut a pocket hole in the armrest for the handle to fit inside and be mounted to the bracket. Cut and drill holes for electric switch and door latch then cut a hole for the tweeter pod before it go's to upholstery, which I dropped off at the upolstrey shop Friday. Then of course the rack is the tilt bed floor for the wood to sit that is raised to be above the c-notch. WOW!... Absolutely stunning, beautiful work, Rico! WOW! Steve. Thanks Steve doing the best I can, really appreciate it. I had my middle console upholstered and installed led's that come on when I open the door. Here's a pic of what the console looked like, I also had a sheet metal piece made that's fitted down the middle of the console I had painted the same color as the truck, the armrest and the cup holder I found at the junkyard out of a 2000 or newer (can't remember) Chevy truck.
