Truck looks great so far.
What are the details on the motor?

Nice truck man, I love the step sides. Good work on the body too.

Nice sheet metal work. That's a lot of work but it looks good. Sounds like your engine is very strong too. Coming along nicely.

Going by the picture in your first post it is a Custom Deluxe. That would be the base trim level. Scottsdale would be next, followed by Cheyenne and lastly the top of the line Silverado. I have a 1980 Custom Deluxe but it does have A/C , tilt and tach but no radio. I should put one in but really not in it that much. It is a base model truck but does have some nice options. ;) Keep up the good work on yours.

It also has tilt and regular windshield wiper switch. I wasn't really fond of the four headlights but they grew on me
