Nice progress! Where are you guys with the bed? Hows that coming along? I'm looking forward to see the fuel door mods and set up.

Honestly, we haven't touched it since the last pictures. Once school is out, the boy will jump back on it and hopefully knock it out relatively quickly. The front clip is stripped but nothing done on it either. Hopefully, next step is to get the doors painted and hung so I can wrap up the interior.

Spent a few hours on the truck last weekend and was able to get the air cleaner/filter assembly installed. I bought a cheap kit off amazon and had to cut it down and built a support arm off the battery box. Came out pretty nice though.

I also finally took the time to build a bracket to mount the DBW gas pedal. This was something I have been dreading but I think it came out nice.

Looks good to me! That seems to be what most guys do.

This past weekend we finished the sound deadening, and installed the carpet and seat. The boy got to putt the truck around the facility a few times which was fun.

I'm glad to see the bench seat back in it, I kind of miss mine. I bet he was pumped!

Here's a video clip of his first drive. Can't hear the motor but it sounds really good in person.
