I haven't posted on my build in awhile...been kinda going backwards in seems lately. Refabbed the turbo manifolds so they sit even with each other. Done some more wiring.the thing that is taking the most time is all the body work on the bed(welded In roll pan,new extensions and front panel then some body filler).hopefully will be done in a week with bed work and paint it sometime in January then I can focus on interior.
