Here is a 71 long bed I am working on for a lady. It started life as a Cheyenne, but has been stripped of its mouldings and will be lowered when we decide how much to do it, and what rims/tires to go with. I installed Specialty power window regulators and Brothers one piece side windows along with a white face tach dash, new seat, carpet, etc.

Built this 10 years ago. Wanted a smooth cowling, plus, wanted to do something different. Frenched my antanae. It was fun, but scary to do. It was my first mod ever. Had so much fun doing it,that i've been building a truck from scratch the last few years.

Suburban seat
adjustable height seatbelts
AutoMeter gauges
Compas/Temp mirror

Your gauge cluster is perfect! How well do the Suburb seats fit? Would they fit with the gas tank in the cab or would it have to be removed?
Anyway, beautiful work on everything!

Looks great! How did you attach the mesh to your cowl?

The dash is a Covans classic. and the gauges are electronic Classic instruments All American Series.

I put a jeep tank in the rear, and instead of having a hole in the floor, I desiced i would put it in the steak pocket. ran a fuel fill hose all the way to the tank. the filler itself is a marine piece i picked up at the local marina. 12 bucks I think, and just painted to my body color.

check out my build thread, it has more on the tank and will have more on the gauges and filler
