Good looking truck even without paint

Love the '71

Sounds like you are making progress. I am and have done similar things currently on my 1967 C10. Also, lots of video clips too (3 years back even), just not edited or uploaded either. Time flies, boy can I relate. I wanted to suggest on your roof, like my C10, it came the same as the body color. But I decided to paint it flat white, as some trucks came. For two reasons, one is non AC and it will stay cooler in summer. Two, it allowed me to patch a CB antenna hole and repair some small dents, but keep the overall patina. Looks good too.

The truck looks great. Hope you can make it to the show.

It takes a little while to get all the finishing touches done. Thanks for the video.!

[@dalestofer4301]

Stay dry and looking forward to the show video.

Hope you can take your truck to the show! Truck people aren't as snobby as car people about unfinished projects at shows. Your truck looks badass just as it is! It'll be a hit! Would be cool to find the proper turn signal switch priced right for the tilt wheel! The tilt wheel is a cool option to have on this truck!

If possible...Super Glue it real good, then plug it back in..then put zip ties on to hold it in place... good luck..

Try putting shrink wrap on after it’s plugged on the terminal slide it up over the terminal all the way up as far as you can on the starter

[@workingdog1364]

The truck looks good it’s definitely came a long way in a short time.What are you hauling with the road tractor now? Stay dry

[@delrayjyd9676]

🏆Cool truck 🏆 I got the 🍀 70 short bed 396 👀✌️

[@jamessmith7691]

I'd go with a heavy loop connector. Then fashion a heat shield. Both things I had to do that work. Plug wire trees are needed to keep the wires away from the headers.

[@hippiemiller]

Does that k5 run and drive?

[@delrayjyd9676]

It did when I parked there. I stopped driving it because it was terrible on gas.

[@speedy94-]

I remember sinking that K5 in some mudhes😅

[@hippiemiller]

@@delrayjyd9676 you should do a cold start video on it

[@timsgaf]
