It ain't grey hair, it's chrome!
Holy Cow! It was a shot in the dark, I'm just amazed I beat Dr. Crankenstein to it
Honestly, I had to go back through your build from the start and since the parts came from so many different trucks, I wasn't even sure if it was a GMC or Chev. Just enjoying following along...
yep, I was too lazy to go to the storage after a chevrolet one haha.
mocked up the bumper for the mount design. my two son in laws (both named jack co-inky-dinkly) held it while I measured.
ran for a FItech for my brothers s/c rambler. he got a smoking deal and all he had to do was push a button.
my shop was a real sty (always is after getting in the death throes of a project) and dozer and pops and OI and all the rest of you guys with the spit shined shops were shaming me so I cleaned out the truck (portable storage in the bed!) and rolled it out for some sun.
the seat guy has been on it 6 weeks and says TWO MORE> I said have you even started?!?

Man you'd be disillusioned if you seen my shop in person
It's far from clean, much less spit shined

My shop has officially been declared a disaster area.
I don't like pamplemousse.
It "seams" upholsterer's are like that everywhere... severely disorganized and no damn good with estimates, but they're quick with a price!

his normal turn is 3-4 weeks
had some ( a lot ) of deferred paperwork and landlord stuff to do today, my daughter is moved into the NNP (new new property) and loves the garage (why not?)
I stopped by the NP shop to see if I had a glovebox latch and I DID. I even had two!
then waited 3 hours in covid queue for the tag, but everything was done fast and easy!
I didnt do any steel work today.

You sure can build those AD trucks
thanks fellas, I like to have fun
waiting on seat so I used the kitty litter tub to set alignment and shake down some. kinda wobbly.
but it worked! I parked it on the "for sale corner" of my driveway, where its easy to spot by potential buyers coming down the street, and did a vegas style "soft opening".
listed it sat evening and a guy came and bought it sunday. should have asked more. he made a downpayment and will pick up monday with the seat, at last report to be done sunday night.
in the meantime what could I do with a clean garage except start another project, so I went and picked up BAM and got it on the tall stand for the floor work. I dont have an s10 donor yet but I can get most everything installed pedal wise.
but before I could even blow out the spiders, G called, seat done.
so I guess I will be doing that tomorrow, installing it and taking it up on the highway.
