Thanks for the comments. I have been a part of FTE for about 3 years, I just had to start over with a new username and email account. I was formerly known as LastChance55. Trust me, this truck was assembled with mostly help from this site. Thanks everybody.

I got the peeps from a place from Virginia off ebay. I will have to dig through the buildsheet to find the exact place, but you can search ebay and find them all day long 3 and 4 inchers.

And,all the help you had was from chevy guys!!!!!.........hahahahah!!! just kiddin'!! Bill

Sorry Bill for the delay I will post some new pics when I can get the DSL back up. As for the paint, we used Sherman Williams poly enamel, single stage. One shot, wait 24 hours, and start rubbing. The cab after we blocked her off was super straight and just had to build the cowl up a little to fit the hood I used. The new bed, wood, and rear fenders came out great. We had the most body work done on the running boards but for being 53 years old, they came out slick. I will update the gallery and let you know. Talk to you soon.
