Hank Hill's 88 GMC RCLB Build

Lookin' real nice! Reminds me of what my old man used to have Ever thought of putting some brass/chrome gold on it? Just think it'd look nicer

Thanks! Ive actually never though of brass/chrome gold actually, just regular chrome but I dont know where I would put that bling lol. Any ideas?

I like the idea of the brass. Would kind of give it a steampunk look. Maybe the "hockey stick" handles that hold up the mirror?

Yesterday I did the 4-Hi mod. I can't wait to drive again so I can get to use it. Its not fully tied in because theres not enough space on the battery terminal, so I'll have to buy a fuseblock or something. I suppose I shouldn't have it near the propane converter, however.

Last couple of days I've compiled a list of most of the repairs done by shops that I have the service orders for. I could post it up for anybody curious.

Today I put in my switch for my incoming light bar. It will be either on, off, or on with the high beams. When I took apart the dash, the plastic that the radio pocket and HVAC controls was brittle and mostly cracked already but unfortunately decided to completely break. I'm hoping that I can just use some epoxy for now.

This is madness when you have a regular cab

Also found that I could grab power off of the junction block that houses the fuel pump relay, so tied most of my stuff into there.

Took the flares off and painted them to make it look more factory
