Re: my green 68
I will be putting the upper trim on next when I have time and the pass side door glass. And then put the interior back in.

Re: my green 68
I put the carpet and seat belts back in the other day. Been busy on finishing up the interior and some wiring. Still a long ways away, but getting there slowly. There isn't a bolt, nut or part I havent replaced, stripped, blasted or chromed. I'm just glad to have all the glass and seals on so the inside stays clean and dust free now.

Re: my green 68
Your truck looks great!! I have a dumb question, in the pictures without the chrome trim it looks like the holes for the clips have been filled or maybe I just can't see them. Did you drill new holes after the paint job in order to install the chrome trim?

Re: my green 68
I am going to have to redrill the holes for the trim. Back when I started the build I didn't want the trim, but now I do.

Re: my green 68
I think it does look better with the trim, and I usually like the trucks without it.

Re: my green 68
Looks killer tybob!
I know what you mean about collecting parts.
I've been to the Charlotte AutoFair every year for about 20 years and usually pick up something for my "Bump" build.
It looks like in your pics. that you had your grille and headlight doors chromed,can you pm me what you paid for that as I want to get mine chromed.
Also who did you use for your chroming.
TIA,Calvin
