Depending on how you plan on using your truck but we were out 400 miles from home last fall in great weather with our coupe . We got up Monday morning to 38 degree rain turning to slushy snow , no heater and 300 miles from home . Really wished we had a heater .

Thank you. I was thinking about a cigar lighter and a heater that runs off of one just incase. I used one in my polaris before I put a heater in it and it worked pretty good and the cab isn't much bigger in the truck

Looking sharp Tracy...it's nice to get to this stage of a build where every change you make can be seen as adding to the overall look of the truck.

Is your gas tank in the cab? If not what did you do (if anything) to cover up the back wall?

Yes, the tank is under the bed. I tried to find some pvc board to be able to make the shape I needed to cover the back wall but didn't have any luck. I took some heavy duty Velcro and took some material that I used on the console and made a cover for the area that was open where the tank was. In this picture there are wrinkles that I did get out later. You can't see this with the seats in.

How was your rear fender fit to your bedsides? Did you have to elongate or change the holes in the fenders to match the holes in the bed?

The rear fenders are fiberglass. They fit pretty good and I had to put them where I wanted them and mark the holes for drilling. With them being fiberglass you need to drill the holes a little bigger and use rubber washers and bigger washers to cover them so the glass don't crack. They fit so much better then the aftermarket steel front fenders did.
