Here's the truck as it's sitting now... it will look a little lower with the rest of the body parts (running boards, tailgate, etc) on and a full tank of gas in back. We all agree the stance looks pretty good!


My favorite part of the truck is the dashboard and instruments... classy!


Engine compartment and firewall. Great job of wiring by Jerry Hackett, thanks Jerry!

Bed with wood kit installed. Thanks to Dean Peterson for doing the wood finishing!

Updates 6/5/11 -- Cab is painted!!!

WOW! Well, I think we got the color right!! : ) Thanks so much to Troy and John and Hot Rod Alley... they're doing KILLER work on this truck, we can't thank them enough. True professionals that accept nothing less than the best!

Some "Before-and-After" photos to show how far we've come...

And the cab then (notice all the holes in the firewall that had to be filled):

And then!

More shots of the cab now:


These are more miscellaneous parts... the valance (under-dash) that houses the A/C vents; the steering column and bracket; and the air intake vent. The hood is next to the parts (only the underside of the hood is painted at the moment).

Here's some of the rest of the body parts (bed, fenders, etc), waiting for their turn to head into the paint booth!

Updates 5/29/11

Updates... the boys at Hot Rod Alley have been working on the body and paint. Here's the inside of the hood, and the inside of the cab. It's coming along!

And this is the seat we took out of a '65 Cadillac... not pretty to look at now, but once it's re-upholstered with new padding and tan leather and stitching, it'll look great (and have 6-way power to boot)!! It fits perfectly inside the cab.
