I will be up your way this weekend, you probably didn't know my truck was originally in Cortland, then Vienna before making the trip to NC.
So, you've seen firsthand how beautiful our trucks are up here. :happy175:

Saw your build thread and all that body work was why I shipped one in. Nice to see someone save one just too much work for me.

If it wasn't a family truck, I would've probably had a different vehicle to restore as well.

Got my cleaned and painted wiper motor back in with a new foam seal, and custom painted my grill(Chevy grill in a GMC). Trying to find the clips that hold the upper and lower moldings on the front. Next week, having all the engine bearings replaced in my 350.

Carriers are never the most careful are they
Ive had decent luck with the past 3 I've purchased from then. I took an unboxing video and was all prepared to make a stink and go through the return process but I said eff it. Tired of waiting and don't want to gamble with what I'll get next time.

When I got my aluminum rims I watched the FedEx guy drop the boxes on the pavement from the inside of his truck. I saw it on my camera. I made it out there after he dropped the second box and let him know he was on camera. His tone and actions changed a lot after that. Some of the guys are awesome but some are just POS.

Drill, filled and sanded the dash instrument bezel. Modified the interior cab light to LED. Cut some plastic for the exterior cab brake/box light; need to sand it so it right angles on the cab.

Well it’s been a bit toasty lately and the original A/C amazingly works perty fair.
(If I got a charge nozzle for old school R 12 cans I have some and it might be an icebox).
Anyway, hi speed hvac fan has never worked since I bought it. Never looked into it as everything works pretty well on med high fan setting. Figured the circuit breaker was bad or ????
Today getting gas, I popped the hood for giggles and looked at the plug going into the circuit breaker.
It was almost disconnected totally and not making contact.
6 seconds later it works!
Love this truck!

Got my intake back today from the metal polishing shop. They did an amazing job, looks fantastic!

The manifold is a 1960s Weiand dual plane manifold that actually has the correct way to pronounce Weiand cast right into it: “Say Why-And”. The polishing shop saved the lettering for me.

I dropped it in place just to make sure I could handle it easily by myself leaning over the engine. First attempt was awkward so made a handle out of a piece of aluminum angle and put a guide stud in the front right bolt hole. That worked MUCH better. Tomorrow I’ll install it, bolt it down and get ‘er running!
