     Nice progress, and I like the looks of those seats.

Looks good man!

What brand PN# are your roof clearance lights.  they look great.  are they smoked, and are they bright?

Shouldnt your Al plate holding your fans have holes with flaps to allow wind to push thru at higher speeds? Thats how I have seen it done... it looks like you would be killing the efficency of the radiator that with the plate designed that way.

In regards to the fan shroud question : im not really sure what your saying about the flaps, but on the bottom of the shroud is a cut-out for any extra air to travel all the way through.
In regards to the cab lights: i honestly dont know brand they are. But they are a smoked dodge factory replacement kit. They are relatively bright and shine amber, i wish they were white or LED but ive got plenty of time to make changes in the future. I think they look awesome on it though.

Nice progress but I think it's starting to feel a little neglect.  Got the bed, cowl hood and tailgate still needs a little blue paint.  A little more attention to the inside ya know finish the door panels. Ok I will stop picking on you. It's coming along nicely.

It's been awhile since I've updated so I figured I'd catch everybody up. I've been working on the bed lately and wiring up the interior and engine bay. Sanding body filler on the bed now. Hope to primer in the next few days. Then it's more sanding, more priming, more sanding, and finally I can spray some beautiful blue on the cowl hood and bed. I'll have some pictures after bed is primed.

There are some perks to working at a body shop i suppose. Even when its 27 degrees outside, i can be inside, warm and painting away.
Got sidetracked a little and JRconniek10 and i painted cowl hood and smoothed tailgate for his 2000 k2500, and visor for his dads 04  k1500 gmc. But now we can get back to blue stuff

just picked up a 89 model 700r4 tranny. freshly built. time to mate this drivetrain and move the truck under its own power. Pushing in and out of the garage is getting old.
Still need my lock-up kit and aluminum pan for it though.

That is a gorgious shade of blue! That looks exactly the same shade my truck was origionally and what color i have been trying to find for my 70 Chevelle convertable restore project.  What paint code is that color bro?
