any new progress on the truck, ihavent been able to work on mine, for i couldnt tell u how long now, i need a better paying job so i can continue on it yours looks sweet as normal, cant wait to see more of it

I got a little done on the interior. I painted all the exposed metal on the inside a satin black. I was also gonna cover the dash pad with vinal but I have found a dash pad with no cracks at the bone yard for $50. I am thinking about buying it and dyeing it black. Havent't made up my mind yet. What would you guys do?

[slammed79]

I'd wrap the one you've got. I saw some pretty cool black flake vinyl (think 50's diner chairs) that would be cool, or black suede... just a thought or two.

Wrap the one you got and if you aren't satisfied with it buy the one from the boneyard. Just drive your truck there and tell him you spent all your money making that beauty and all you have left is $25

man your truck looks awsome i love the stance aswell.  i myself am not a fan of the phantom grill but your truck makes it look nice for some reason.
i love your work on the floor of the bed  one of thease days i want a stepside to build on.
heck i hope to have my shortbed look half that good

Thanks guys!  Junkman the front drop was achevied with 3" spindles and 2" coil springs and I trimmed a half round off the coils.

Guys I am sad to report that my truck has been involved in a self inflicted accident a few days ago All is well with me and I have already started to repair the truck. All that was damaged was the pass door and the rear pass fender. I have another door in primer and ready for paint. Now I am waiting on a new rear fender and then all will be good again.

Ouch! 

[big bear]

ouch is right.... im glad your ok man.  sounds like your on top of it tho. 

[thirsty]

Glad it wasn't any worse for you or the truck! Still stinks.

I was real lucky!  Some how the truck excaped the ordeal with no damage to the cab corner or the rocker panel.  Good doors are cheap around here so I aint gonna be out to much money.  Guess I am going to put a new windshield in it to while I am fixin things.
