Bed turned out great! Love that dark stain with the gold paint and polished strips!

Thanks Karl. We like the dark color too.
We got the Custom Autosound Bow Tie Radio installed in the dash today. This radio comes with a stock looking face plate that changes to digital when the radio is on. It also came complete with knobs that look like the '67-'68 CST knobs. Now to just configure some speakers and wire everything up.
Next is the installation of the new AC Temperature Control module and adapt the Vintage Air sensors to the slides.
We are also changing out the repro tailgate hinges and trunions for some NOS pieces I located just 2 miles from my house! The repro hinges are junk... they bind up when the tailgate is closed and there is no rounded corner for the spring loaded latches. The repro hinges have flat edges and make closing the gate very difficult. They also are about 1/8" taller when installed than the stock hinges. The repro trunions had to be trimmed to even fit into the pockets, but lack of adjustability makes them useless. Nothing like stock.
Now we need to locate a cigarette lighter and housing.
