The aftermarket doors fit "OK". Not as good as original, had to do some jacking around to try too make them fit. I just didn't feel like fixing the rust and holes in mine. The headers I used were for a first gen Camaro. Don't have the part number.

Went to a car show in Indiana about 60 miles from home. Truck ran great. The weather was perfect. Had about a hundred vehicles. People seem to love these bagged trucks.I was very susurprised when I got best of show. Sure is a lot more fun going to car shows than working on it

Congrats! You shouldn't be surprised, as it's truly a nice truck. That looked like a pretty nice stock-looking truck that was parked next to you. And I agree that it's much more fun when you take them out & enjoy them.

mike, what did you use to raise your bed floor?
it looks as tho it bolts to the floor, which if it does, would make life easier for me

***and also it was nice talking to you as well at the car show,
absolutely love that truck!!!
but once im up and running i'll let you know!
also, i'll get a 2nd build page set up here,
as the one i started one on porterbuilts page has some how vanished!

kvn1011 I made a framework out of 1x1 angle iron. And yes it is bolted to the bed sides and floor. Like to see your truck when you get it rolling.
