Thanks 84shortwide.. ;)
Finally got round to working on the firewall over last week and made a couple of subtle changes (anyone spot them) just to clean it up a touch,anyone use UPOL -REFACE...my best friend at the moment..lol.
As you can see by the pics the truck used to have ac but the previous owner tore it out,i was gonna weld the old hose holes up but the fan case hides them well,2 grommets will seal them from rain etc.

I noticed it's been smoothed, aint there a flat lip that comes down diagonally on the pass side from top pass. side towards the ds at bottom of it. That's fone, middle is smoothed, I think there's a hole dimpled or punched in the center bump section, which is where the computer harness comes thru on new trucks it's gone, and was they a ridge on the ds as well as the one I mentioned on the ps? also the area around the column didn't it stick out more or have a lip around it? if so it's gone too.

BTW I think the whole things looks great and great work, wished I had a 73-80 to do the same, ground up build.

well spotted.. ;D
I was gonna smooth the whole area but the time it takes would set it back a month or so,easier to just make it look clean removing those two seams and the lip around the master cylinder area and a couple of the panel overlaps.

Great progress! I would love to own a "round headlight" year. My father had a 79' c10 back in the day and have always been fond of them. Great job!
