Rolling in Just in Time
People say there’s no need to reinvent the wheel. We beg to differ.

Talk about coming down to the wire. We finally got the call that these were ready to pick up right around the time we had hoped to be meeting up with our @C10ClubGeorgia crew to roll to the Southeastern Chevy/GMC Truck Nationals. But, DANG, was it worth the wait.
We threw these beauties on and made our way up I-75, Nashville-bound. What a huge difference. Check out this before and after.
Take a peek at the wheels in-the-works, provided by Jose and Hector of Main Tires and Wheels.
See you at the next show!
Just a Little Something Small...
We are so pumped something so small is making such a big difference. Couldn’t be happier with the way these SQRBDY emblems look on the truck.
These things look nearly factory - exactly the look we’re going for.
@glazierbilletworks produced these stellar, size-correct, powder-coated, billet emblems. Psyched to head out to the Southeastern Chevy/GMC Truck Nationals sporting these awesome new additions.
New Gauge Cluster and Bezel Are In
We are so excited to finally have a tach. Of course, the side-effect of having a killer new gauge cluster is a definite bonus.
Dan Poole of PoolesMill Garage hooked us up with a quick install with our upgraded bezel, just in time for our stop at Hot Rod Power Tour’s zMax Dragway stop in North Carolina.
The VHX-73C-PU gauge cluster by Dakota Digital retains the period look of the original cluster, while providing us with tons of cool data like 0-60 time, quarter mile time, high speed and RPM recall, and all the pressure and temperature numbers we could want.
Up Next: Custom emblems and new wheels
Interior Upholstery Is Officially Complete
We “wrapped” up the last of our upholstery needs with this cup holder wrapped in leather made by Cato’s Custom Upholstery.
Check out this video featured on the Whitlock Garage YouTube channel (stick around for the burnout at the end)
Custom Seat Installed
Goodbye lumpy upholstery and broken springs, hello luxury. Our new custom seat and door panel inserts are now installed. Phil Cato and Fernadno of Cato’s Custom Upholstery used the original frame with custom made foam. Materials are from Relicate Leather and Moore & Giles.
