After getting the side glass installed we took it out for a little cruise and stopped for a couple photos. We made a 100 miles round trip yesterday and it drives very nice. I will definitely need to change the rear gearing or bite the bullet and put an overdrive transmission in it, 2900 rpm doing 60 mph

Beautiful truck, John!
What did you use for the chrome trim on the door panels and cab wall?
