Got the hood on yesterday. Still need to order a pair of hood bumpers and put the latch on, but I figured I would take a quick cell phone shot.

Re: 71 Sport Custom Swb...Coming together
Love the look of the 70-72 billet grille! I have the same grille from my 72 and it is the reason I got rid of my near perfect 69 grille from my crew. When I get my truck back and get it together, I will be rocking the same look.

Re: 71 Sport Custom Swb...Coming together
Been making some progress, but not too much I can post picture wise. I've sent both bumpers off to be rechromed and I'm also getting exhaust ran in the next day or two. I put my new steering wheel on as well.

Re: 71 Sport Custom Swb...Coming together
Looking good! Where are you having your bumpers chromed? And, if you don't mind my asking, how much is going to cost?

Re: 71 Sport Custom Swb...Coming together
That engine bay is just beautiful! That truck is a gem, and I love that slick black paint.
A blue oval wing nut might top off that air cleaner nicely & tie in with the valve covers, and I'd call it "done".

Some people think it's cheezy, but I like 'em
No matter, that's a great ride you get there!

I really like the look of it. I haven't really drove the truck much, but I'm sure it will be fine.
