All of the white paint is pearl, same as the body, the top will be the same paint as well.

I do the same thing with builds on the forums, especially this one

Damnit Dave! I probably shouldn't have read that thread because now I'm going to have to start collecting equipment and start working on my interior skills like that. I'm already getting ideas.

I know exactly what you mean, awesome work in there.

U joints and transfer case yoke seals arrived today, I still have to get a 1350 yoke for the 10.5 then I can have the drivelines shortened and balanced.

AC Brackets and pulleys arrived today, the rest should be here tomorrow.

This is the Nostalgic kit, it is a well put together set up.

Are you going to go with an electric fan set up or keep the mechanical?

Subscribing. After reading this whole thread today I have to see how this turns out.

Very nice work. I honestly don't know if I would have the patience for all that. Kudos to you.

Been quite a while!

I have been so damned busy at work and the wife and I are taking foster care classes I haven't had much time to even get on the computer.

Anyhow I have the AC and heater in, and most of the under hood wiring is done.

You will need to find some time for me to come by and take a look. I haven't seen the progress in person in a while.

You made room for the topper yet? Let me know when you get ready to drop it so I can give you a hand.

You can never spend too much money on your truck!

The more the merrier right? Sometimes.

I got the dash in today with the refinished dash pad


Also bit the bullet and decided to go with Hummer tires. Since this rig won't be driven off road I am not worried about the 16.5" wheels. a set of 37" tires for $500, can't beat that!
