Good luck on the build. The other truck I have we sectioned the frame and extended it I personally have been really considering shortening it back to normal just so I could use it on a daily basis its just not practical to use everyday dad bought it new in 88' and it don't even have a 100,000 miles on it so it would be nice just to drive.

It's weird, sometimes it does look like a shortbed from the right angle.

I know what you mean.  I guess I never paid that close attention before, but I just said to myself as I was reading through this page, "Oh, Vile's '74 is a long bed?!?"

I don't know about anybody else..but I get stuck on the pics of that door panel and interior!

Man, I have dreams about that! (Although mine look like crap!!)

Where the heck did you get them from and how much! (Door panels)

Sorry, but I look at this truck everyday!!

I have a REALLY good detailed book on building auto interiors.  If you like I can post a picture when I get home.

I have it at home - I'll post it tonight.  It's a really good, detailed book on how to do Auto interior.  Which materials to use, how to customize etc.....  From doing dash's, door panels, headliner, seats.......  Easy to use instructions and a source page. ;D

Man, to tell you the truth, I like that color blue on older trucks. But that black you got on there looks MEAN. I think I'm gonna paint mine primer jet black for now and spray on WW2 plane markings like the U.S. Star and some nose art.  8)

Anyways, how much was your hood? $300-$400?

You can also see how it kinda looks like a SWB from that angle. :P

Well I'm back to working on the inside of the truck. Today I got a snow day off from work  ;D so I decided to rebuild and repaint the steering column. I also ripped out the gauges and dash. I'm going to repaint everything and install the digital gauges my ex girlfriend bought me.
