04palass Posted January 15, 2022 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2022 (edited) Long time no updates! Just have been enjoying the truck! It is put away for the winter to I intend to do a few things to it. First of which is a Trans cool 40k cooler which I installed yesterday. So much bigger than the stock cooler Also looks super cool behind the grille!

04palass Posted February 5, 2022 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2022 I spent many hours detailing under the hood of this truck. I also added a AEM cold air intake and Holley valve covers to clean up the look. In addition to that I also added a new chrome alternator. Here is how it started Here is the valve covers and the intake tube I have powder coated red to match. I also painted the alternator bracket when I added the new chrome alternator. Holley value covers really clean up how the coil packs look with them mounting directly to the coil packs. Came out so nice I am very happy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
04palass Posted February 19, 2022 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2022 I came across these Rough Country wheel well liners online . I have always thought the rear wheel well looked unfinished and these make it look great! https://www.roughcountry.com/chevrolet-rear-wheel-well-liners-4299.html?gclid=CjwKCAiA3L6PBhBvEiwAINlJ9AWhTYQ0aFvstANnCoxpZfklTzsZRO-1CnHfDMtnoXX4RoR-74CGlhoCMS0QAvD_BwE Before, kind of unfinished looking in my opinion. I also made sure to put a thick layer of Fluid Film behind them. Not that this truck will ever see salt but it can't hurt Installed! Looks fantastic! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
christobear Posted March 4, 2022 Report Share Posted March 4, 2022 this is awesome. I will need to do some similar work on my 05. No rust, but the roof, hood, and bed are peeling. Plus will need to do the headliner, leather repair, and then next up will be a motor rebuild. It runs well, but has 170k+ miles and I want to do a cam at least, if not possibly a blower. I like that tailgate spoiler, where did you get it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be an Intimidator SS spoiler (or repro) missing the bed corner pieces. Rare as rocking horse shit.. I mean, the repro's are out there, quality is so-so. Original parts - good luck Richard 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it is indeed the Intimidator spoiler as stated by @someotherguy I found it on ebay a couple years back I'm getting the itch to drive it sooo bad. But in the mean time I detailed the front inner wheel wells and put the 22s back on the front just to drool over 😍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcairns Posted April 18, 2022 Report Share Posted April 18, 2022 Hard to believe how much rust you had to remediate. I did not have that much rust on my 64 Impala restoration I did 10 years ago. That road salt must be a real killer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
