Well, i still dont have a bed on it yet. But i suppose i could come up with something. I've been homebound with the flu since Wednesday but as soon as i get back in the shop i'll shoot a few more pics.

Still working on it . The whole bed is now ready for paint , minus the tailgate . The two that I had just didn't measure up . I would up springing for a really sweet OEM gate . ( Thanks Daniel ! [ dirish ] )

Still have a few more changes to make for the efi . I did get the tank pulled and installed the new in-tank pump .

As for the motor , well I wound up taking a few steps backwards on that. I was just planning to pull the motor and repaint and install new cam . Well , I pulled the heads off and disassembled for paint . Wound up installing new springs and valve job . Then , when i came to the block , I figured that too would be much easier if it was bare . So once tore down , proceeded to smooth all the casting . The POR 15 paint looks much better with it slicked out . While its apart , if course it's getting new bearings , rings .

So in a nutshell , an engine repaint turned into a total engine build ! And I wonder why this truck is not finished yet. . Lol !

Sounds like me, I'm pulling my complete rolling chassis apart to install Porterbuilt Front/Rear Dropmembers and re-paint the frame, so I'm taking two steps back to take a step forward as well. You will be happier in the end that you did exactly what you wanted atleast thats how I feel about mine

Can't wait to see some updated pics.

Can't wait to see some updated pics.

I've got a few pics of the induction setup all mocked up . Bolted to the cylinder heads. I slicked out some stock big block valve covers and buried them with 4 coats of orange . Then cut and buffed them . Added the 502 Ram Jet air cleaner instead of the S&P rectangular one . Looks much better IMO . Also dechromed the fuel rails and did them in black to add some contrast and break up all the chrome . I'll post some shots first chance I get. Should be this weekend .

Yeah , I can't wait to finish the engine and fire her up . This new roller cam is somewhat tamer than my previous flat tappet , but I'm more concerned with driveability than before . Should still have a healthy exhaust note .

Update ..... Modified my bed dolly this past week . Tomorrow or Sunday I'll get the bedsides , tubs and front panel cut in so I can bolt it all back together on the dolly and ready it for the trip to the spray booth !!!!
