Details. Note, I did not use the urethane body mounts. I found factory OE style from https://www.classicheartbeat.com/
Call Wes at 888-338-2502, he is THE expert on C/K trucks. Much of what you buy at Brothers, LMC, etc. he is the supplier to them, especially the small concours parts that he has made. Lots of little rubber OE style parts.

I'm digging the Vlog style build thread! Keep up the good work. Is there a story behind your American flag wall?

Thanks! I've been in the Air Force for 35 years and always had a passion for Old Glory. Every flag on the wall (more to come in future episodes) was flown in front of my house until less than serviceable - except one that I stole. That is another story.. Here is a teaser, reflection of the flag in the hood wall after paint.

It's too bad the full convertibles are always so rusty
