not quite sure yet have so many ideas for it but which one would look better??, might stretch the dash out (giving it some depth) adding a center console, filing in all the holes adding a bubble for the speedo assy

Buckets and a console would be a cool feature for sure

i have to integrate all this with a bench seat, i would love to only have buckets but have a family and would like them to cruise with me, with buckets it makes it more simple as i would contour it right to the back of the cab, with the bench seat it has to flow down sort of like a ford coupe grille? something like that??

Man that sounds like you have some really great ideas for your truck.

I also like the buckets idea, but I dont have a family. I like the fact you are trying to do unique stuff, as well as accomidate the comfort of your family.

Thats another thing I really respect, is a budget type build. I look forward to hearing more about your truck when you do stuff to it, give us other budget builders good ideas.

man that is cool... is it possible to drop frame tho? by the looks of it its not "extremely" low? or is that about how you want it? the lower the better in my opinion! you'd probably have to notch the frame and all that to do it tho hey? i've never had a chance to get a good look at those frames, but my old chebby needs some serious work to slam it...
