Alot of time restoring this truck. We drove it out of the shop today put it on a trailer and sent it to the last shop. Upholstry and glass to be installed. WOW finally. Billet Specialty wheels on order and coming. Look on the last page and let me know what you think. Thanks Tom

I have had mine for about the same time and I am just starting the frame! You have done a bang up job and I like the approach that you took extending the cab, I like it better than most of the extended cabs I have seen. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2008 Posts: 3,750 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2008 Posts: 3,750 | Tom, I've followed your build from your 'early' pics. Outstanding job! Getting the glass in will make a huge difference. It's amazing how much more complete they look....... Oh and don't forget more pics......

BTW I notice your glove box is a bit small. What kind of air are you using? Is that why you don't have room for the GB?

actually we are installing the stereo in the glove box. He is wrapping the glovebox with leather before the stereo is installed.
