It has been a while!
It's been a slow process, money kept me from finishing the truck (I decided to start going to college last spring so that slowed the progress down a bit as well.), but it will be finished sometime this summer. I was finally able to save some money and bought new wheels this year to go with the new tires I got last year. The only things left are little things like: putting the windows back in, checking the wiring, new bulbs for the lights, and painting it. I'm kind of short so I also need/want to figure out a way to make the pedals closer to my feet w/o using a block. I'm also planning on buying a new lift/suspension kit, but that can wait. Other than that it's ready and raring to go!
I'll be sure to post some photos this summer of the finished product.
