Very Cool!
 

I just spent the past couple of hours going through all 24 pages of your build. (Can't wait to see more!) That's a very cool truck you're building! Thanks for sharing all the info and picts.

Thank you for taking the time to look at all of the pics. If you get bored and want to look at about 1000 pictures you can always got to the website

Good Morning All,

I liked to welcome and thank Jeff at AVS Systems for building and helping me with my shaved door handle kit for my project. The kit is a complete bolt in and I look forward to installing it on the truck.

If you need any air bag parts or shaved kits check out there web site.

Everything is prewire - pretty hard to screw up this install

You can see how the selonoid pull is mounted directly to the latch

Finally installed the wheels on the Body Dolly that Caleb at Permanently Stained Customs. Caleb has been the
behind the scenes body guy that has made most of my mock up panels look to good for mock up.

If you need a good painter and did i mention welder you can reach him
via e-mail (( [email protected] ))

Here is the bed dolly he whipped up for me.

Good Morning All,

I want to thank Guy at Rockford Racecraft for getting my Rods & Pistons for my Motor. I dropped off the Block, Camshaft, Timing Chain & Cover and the Balancer (thank John Waller). So we could get started building the motor.

Dave was only able to spend a couple hours on the truck last week. So not much was done. He was able to get the bracing started behind the dash for the steering column, brake pedal and the vintage air. We are going to put tabs on the rod so we can anchor the wire harness to it to keep the underside of the dash clean.

Here is a close up of the pedal brace

You can see how nice the column comes through the firewall. Trying to keep it as clean as possible. We also lowered it about an inch to gain the needed header clearence.

Here is the start of the new dash surround.

Here is the 2nd attempt - three 3 3/8 guages with four 2 1/16 guages

Here is the third template - three 3 3/8 guages with two 2 1/16 guages & 2 5/8 guages. Guy at Rockford Racecraft was kind enough to lend me some guages to play with. I plan to make some more mock up dashes tommorow night.
