I got everything from Bill's trucks. Best part is that he's 10 minutes away and has everything in stock. The bed floor is for a truck and I had to add the holes for the rear seat as well as the gas tube hole.


Truck is coming along great and I can see light at the end of the tunnel.
I had to machine some lift blocks for the rear to level out the truck after getting the front springs done. I lifted it 1.100" and it's now perfect. This was a good time to move the axle back .625 so that it fits the wheel opening a bit better.
It should ride better now with the longer wheelbase !
Now that it's sitting level, I'll check the U-joint angles and will taper the block if need be, then I'll powdercoat them.
Panels fit pretty good, but I wished I had more of a gap on the cowl sides. I think I'll have to live with it.
