Damb you are almost as bad as I am! Funny how we can work on several projects at one time but still never seem to get one done:lol:
Well time for me to head in the shop and sand and I hope to get paint on Low Bucks cab today!

Nice looking projects! I'd personally like a Chevy truck from each body style(one can dream, right?). I like your sig, "Chevy's Only". Our Chevy's keep us/me busy too. I'll be looking for some new pics, keep up the good work!

Heres a few more.. The mar-k tailgate skin is really nice the roll pan is a little on the cheap side (counterpart I believe was the manufacture)

Ok back to the project. I got the roll pan all welded up and the tailgate skin installed. I hated the way the roll pan looked with the big gaps at the seams so they got welded up. I also stared on the rewire of the truck as you can see by the old harness it really needed some help looked like someone raided radio shack...

And heres a few shots of the painless kit going in... Should be done by the end of the 4th weekend. I also installed my powdercoated headlight buckets with new gaskets and new chrome headlight rings. So far i have the headlights and front running lights working along with the turnsignals. I have a new lokar pedal and cable set-up ready to go in and the hei and headders should be here saturday....

The new headders and hei dizzy came in but I did not get to putting them on. I also finished up the new guage wireing and reinstalled them.

Nice work. I'm not looking forward to wiring mine, it was even worse than radioshack rejects. Who did you get your rear pan from?? Just had a time to read the whole thread. Comment about your father-in-law getting high priming cracked me up, this afternoon I was priming mine with the dog laying in the other side of the garage and I notice he was a little wobbly when he got up.

I got the roll pan from the filling station.. Its cheap imo I would get one from mar-k if they offer them thats where I got my tailgate skin and im impressed with it..
