The bed is on and took me what seamed like forever to tighten down all the bolts. Finished the patina on the fenders and bolted them up as well.
Had issues with the running board aprons fit up and called Ed at EZ Chassis Swap because it seamed like the bed might be off. After talking through the issue my running boards/aprons are for a 54-55 (shorter) and I need the 47-53 (taller) aprons. They should be here Thursday.
The gas tank filler neck was my next problem. I was going to cut down the S10 filler neck but didn’t like that the fill hole would only be 1” above the top of the tank. So I started digging through old parts and found the original filler neck and decided that would be better and I think it looks alright. A trip to the parts house and found a filler neck with a bend that would work to connect to the tank. I’m going to paint it up but wanted to make sure it fit and worked first and it does.
Need to get the seat bracket fabricated and fix/mount the taillights and it’s ready for a true test drive.
After fitting the fenders and rolling it out in the open i got pretty excited.
