Update on the 53!

Hey there all. Here's the lasted batch of pics of the 53. It's all coming together nicely. Put the running boards on, lower valance, external mirrors, interior mirror. The auto electrician is doing a fantastic job on the wiring. Installing the Vintage air next week along the front guards and hood. Should be looking like a truck soon. Cheers paul

Looks terrific, Paul. How about some close ups of that tailgate latch and cable assembly?
