lol Thanks Rick!
It's not much but here's an update.. Been REALLY really busy getting ready for planting season.  Torque Fest is finally over so my painter is finally starting on the cab, he thinks he'll be shootin paint in 2 weeks.. but pry more like a month. I told him my due date is June 25th when I want to pull my camper up to Country Fest in Wisconsin.

I finally got my custom power steering lines back! Took them 2 months to get them done so they only charged half price  :D

Absolutely awesome!

I see some improvements (hitch) for sled pulling... where do you live?

Not aiming to critique but do you have any rubber isolation on the exhaust connections at the frame? If not, there stands a chance of even more noticeable engine vibration.  Just something to think about.  Ignore if you covered that & I just missed it in the pics. :D

Seats = ford king ranch?? They look awesome! Could I trouble you for a shot of how much rear leg room there is?

What vehicle is that a-pillar gauge pod made for??

Are those n-fab step bars? If so, are the made for a 73-87 gm or did you retrofit them from a different model? Last I checked (been a while) they didn't have any this era CC trucks but I've always wanted a set for my 83 CC SB!


Anciousto see the continued progress!!!

Thanks SmokeShow, yea the exhaust is isolated, i never got any good pics of the leg room but i will when i get the truck back together, the gauge pod is just a universal that i heated and molded to the dash, n yup they're n-fab for a 07-12 chevy truck that i modified, they don't make them for any older trucks, but it was very easy to modify the brackets.


I finally have a good update for you guys, truck is finally getting some paint. Took awhile because the body shop switch everything over to water based Dupont paint plus my painter has been swamped with work. He was up til 3 AM last saturday getting these doors, fenders, and the interior painted.  He tweaked the original pearl quite a bit to give it a more brilliant white then before. The mailbox now looks dirty brownish yellow next to the new custom white pearl.  The last pic is a good comparison to my fiance's brand new summit white Chevy Cruze. She was very jealous : )  The pictures just don't do the paint justice!!!  I should be getting everything back this Sunday so i'll definitely be posting more pics as this thing comes together, or as my painter calls it, The Little White Giant.

looks like this is going to be one sick truck. I hope that those axles hold up to all the torque that cummins is putting out.

Yep photobucket got greedy what a shocker...
I got the truck box and cab back last Tuesday, then I was off to Country Fest in Cadott, WI all weekend n just got back today. Saw A LOT of nice trucks up there which was torcher not being able to work on my project back home.. I plan on taking it up next year for sure.
After mike painted the box I had spray on bedliner done which turned out very nice.  Now 4th of July is here and a wedding only 1 month away there won't be much time for assembly..
I just upgraded my photobucket so i can keep the pics rolling in for you guys, you're gonna like these!
