I sure hope it will. Tried getting the motor to fit a couple times but i think i need to trim a bit more on the firewall. Getting teh motor in and running is the biggest task i have left to do and then it's all down hill after that.

That is awesome! I'm usually drawn to the trucks that are restored to stock/original ones. Yours is AWESOME though. Your gonna need more shelf space for all the hardware your gonna bring home from car shows!  ;D

Is it just the way it lays out or does the bed run down hill?  It looks like the body line is not flat across.  Excellent fab work, as I have stated on other forums.  I may blatantly rip off a good portion of your ideas.

Haven't updated in forever and don't have much to show.

Got the gas tank mounted





Doesn't hang too low but since it's plastic I will eventually make a guard for it.
