I need some opinions...how do you feel about a black interior on black trucks? I am thinking of doing black door panels, carpet, visors, seats, etc.
I think it will look good, but want to hear some other opinions. Maybe black door panels and visors with charcoal gray or regular gray seat/carpet? I just dont want any bright colors like red.

Great thread!
Been following for a while now.
And yeah I agree with grinnergetter, something like charcoal with it would be good. Think it needs a second colour to make it stand out and make it look like it's had some thought put into it.
Even if it's quite a dark grey (darker than the one in the pic) so it still keeps the dark feeling.

Lookin good! Are you going to stick with a Duraspark ignition? If so, I'd recommend Scott Johnston (The Mad Porter) as he'll get you a reman'd dizzy recurved for your application.

Very nice build. Our engines look very similar. Here are a few pics with L&L fender exits installed. I needed to trim the inner fenders and do some grinding on the cab mount bracket. Also had to rework the brake lines. I checked into getting the taller valve covers but that will come later. Think there are issues with clearing the brake booster, but that was before I got the smaller diameter booster.
I got some 4" T handle valve cover bolts but just noticed the other day that I think he one is going to cause a problem for the oil cap/breather.
Whose engine mounts did you use? Any problems with the clutch equalizer bar alignment?
My L&L's were a little rough at the header flange. The available sealing area (flat spot of the ground weld) got pretty thin in some places. I very carefully took a grinder to them to make everything flat to the flange.
