Tank on the floor will be in the front of the bed.
Speaking of Beds, that is one of the repro 48-50 beds from down here, all feature lines and curved stake pockets....A$950....as I have mentioned before....they are a work of art.

90% of people that see it think it is an off make engine.....maybe the 454 and 350 under the bench and ch*v manifolds everywhere contribute to the illusion.

If you click on one of the photos it will take you to a gallery with 15 pages of pics from my other distraction.....the rod run I promote, which was on last weekend.

Progress ?????
You missunderstand....I'm called Halfdone for a reason
That's as done as it gets
Seriously....thanks for the comments, yes I am getting the hang of rubbing down, the scoop seems to just clear, I think and the red paint is because I am doing the truck flat washington blue with a cream engine bay and red just seemed to fit.......red and cream pin stripping on the hood, dash and tailgate and red and blue on the firewall should set it off.
I'm thinking red old world script on the doors "Halfdone" on my side and "position vacant" on the other
