In about a month, I'm also going to have this wood kit for sale. I was going to sand it down & stain/clear it... but my better half, daughter & son in law had other ideas. They got an all new bed wood kit for me for Christmas. The wood, the SS strips, all the SS bolts as well as the mounting...

FYI; I now have a complete seat with frame, sliders, even the side trim pieces.. all in excellent condition. Black HD vinyl. I figure 500. plus shipping would be more than fair if anyone is interested.

Replacing the OE seat gave me a TON more room in the cab. Exactly what I hoped for.

Crappy pic, but these are the Dakota RTX guages. They look a lot like the factory, but have all of today's tech. Pretty sweet.

Well... it's been awhile since I've posted. Lots of changes since the last time I posted. Dakota Digital RTX guages, Willwood big brake kit, wheels & tires, exhaust (again), sway bars front & rear, a new seat from Wise Guys (fantastic!) plus plenty of stuff I've forgotten haha! Currently...

"Expect the unexpected" Decided to replace the diff cover with one that strengthens the housing. good thing too. while last time we just drained & replaced the oil, this time we needed to remove the pin so we could pull the clips and remove the axles.. Spiders are TOAST. The pin was galled...

It has HEI. Simple and strong. I gaped all the plugs at 40.

You are correct... nothing is cheap these days. At this point, the only thing I have left to do for my "baseline" is the plug wires. I'm waiting on those due to the fact that I'm going to remove the valve covers at the same time (cause I wanna see what the valve train looks like) and my...

This is the gauge set I'm leaning towards; 1953 CHEVROLET TRUCK Classic Instruments CT47OE62 Classic Instruments 1947-53 Chevy Pickup Package Gauge Sets | Summit Racing Looks like the manufacturer is Classic Instruments. The other contender is one from Dakota.. Not quite as close to the OE...

I've been driving it almost daily for the last couple weeks, and I've already begun to make a list haha! *I'll know for sure the next time it's on a hoist, but I believe the coils on my M2 front end were cut to get the ride height I have. The plan is to go with adjustable coil overs as...

So far I've been focusing on the basics. I swapped out the wimpy 2" exhaust & put on 2.5" with flowmasters... MUCH better sound. I have plug wires + routing setup, cap & rotor (HEI) , ordered a glove box, as the one it came with had most of the holes torn out. For now, the new exhaust dumps...

One of the first things I've deduced is that my rear bumper is actually a front bumper... which is why the previous owner cut notches in the darned license plate.. looks hideous. Kind of thinking for the time being I'm just gonna take it off..

Hey y'all, just signed up. I grew up on a farm, where we had a pair of AD Chev grain trucks.. one was a '49 that had a shorter bed with Badger Omaha racks. I used this truck year round for my driver from age 14 thru 17. The body style brings back great memories. I've always wanted a 47-53...
