Love it! Makes me regret selling the 28 Victory 6 sedan I was going to rat.... Staying tuned!

Score! :cool:

Here are some bed panel pics...

I guess Door is a an incorrect word. They are more like panels, no hinges. Just holes to pull em out with. I'll grab some pics and post up :)

Another update. Lots accomplished since last time. Finally finished properly wiring/looming up my front lighting and using a real relay for the radiator fan now. Added a rear view mirror (vintage) I can see out of. Built the bed wood and stained it. Has access doors for the tank and battery...

Rear bumper is on and tucked up close. Cleaned up some angle iron that I had to hack off at the top of the rear stake pockets too. Working on the bed floor now, then I'll work towards the front!

Got the bed support under the tailgate back on and added some blue dot tail lights. Still a little more cleanup to do on some previous farm mods (mainly remove the pointy remains of the angle iron I had to cut off the top of the stake pockets), then I'll mock up the rear bumper and decide if I...

Have't posted in a very long time, mainly because I have't been able to work on it. The wife went away on a business trip, so I played hookie from work for two days and shortened and installed the bed (mostly). Still needs a floor and a little more reinforcement, but I'm super happy with the...

Skull, that sucks! Glad you got her over to minimize the damage and glad everyone is okay. Wish I had some parts to share, although I think my fenders may have been worse from the start :) I'll keep a lookout for parts.

Hey Skull I am going to finish up some things on the front end, then will do the bed afterwards. I have the matching bed for it, full of the samecharacter as well. It's a long bed so I'll need to shorten it and the running boards.

It lives! Drives good. Barely had it together enough to take it to the Bozeman car show with WillyD..... Some of the remaining to-dos - wire headlights and clean up the front end wiring, sealtbelts, front end body mounts (hard mounted now), finish attaching front sheet metal (barely hanging on...

It lives!! Installed the radiator and fan. After fixing some wiring issues (one was the backwards diagram on my rocker cutoff switches for the fan and fuel pump which was grounding the power wires, the other was the ignition switch had two ignition poles, one powers while in "run" the other...

Another 4am work session. Getting closer. Front end and doors attached. I made a temporary front end mount, body mount bushings will be added later. Plenty of room for the radiator and fan. That's tonight's project :)

Wiring is done except for the tail and head lighting and the radiator fan. I placed the battery behind the cab, which will be under the bed floor. Found a funky old sparkomatic tach that I tested and installed as well. There was an ugly hole in the dash where someone had added an aftermarket...

Looks so familiar. Killer! I know a lot of guys like the Dakota frames on these. I am running an S10 and had to space the wheels outward. I almost went with an R/T but wanted to run the 383 big block I already had. I seem to remember the front end width or the R/T setup cutting it pretty close...

Thanks Skull! Great advice. I do plan to lower it after it's all together. I did find out that the ride height looking at the cab only is deceptive. Once you add fenders and running boards (plus all that front end sheet metal weight) it gets low quick. It may not need much lowering at all. We...

More progress. The wife took the kids out of town for a couple days (first time ever) so I went nuts in the garage. Man it was so quiet in the house... Got my normal air cleaner on, way better than that POS triangle thing. Fabbed my exhaust system. Mounted the fuel cell. Also made a temporary...

Killer truck!! [P

I have two boys, age 4 and 6 but have figured out that there are hours available to work on the project between 11p and 2am :) Somehow I survive the rest of the day on minimal sleep. Funny thing is (not to the wife) that I can make myself stay awake for the project, nothing else can do that...

More work finished... Steering column fully installed and connected to steering box, rebuilt carb, installed gas and brake pedals (some decorative pedals are in the works for later, function only right now), driveshaft installed, shifter installed (waiting on a new cable, some sort of funky...
