Thanks it has been challenging at times and I will be glad when it is complete. I have learned a a lot and really enjoyed it.

I like the detail of your build. Can you tell me the deminsions of the hole in your dash for the GPS/Radio system? Thanks

Ok so I am working to finish up for a car show here in the south east on April 11. This past weekend I installed taikgate. I had purchased aftermarket gate and latch kit. However I could not get the latch to clear with out wanting to hit edge of gate. So i pulled the orginal latch off original gate and cleaned it up and painted. Worked great. Also installed rear bumper from NPD which fit good. And installed upper side trim purchased from classic industries. Name: 20150322_172644.jpg

Looking good. How about some pictures of the finished interior? I want to see how your dash, carpet and seats turned out.

**Dieselwrencher** · 03-26-2015, 08:22 PM

Your bed floor looks really nice!

My seats are still at the Upholstery shop I thought a month would be enough lead time for 2 bucket seats but seems I was mistaken... Once I get seats back and installed I will update with photos. I still need to get some carpet installed up on firewall. You can see some of the sound deadner still. Here are some picts of Dash.

Looking good. I wanted to see how the stereo and heater controls worked out for you. Keep us posted with updated pictures once you get the seats and carpet installed.

What are you using for carpet? Is the upholstery shop doing that too, or something you're installing? Keep up the good work.

**Advanced Design** · 04-03-2015, 02:15 PM

Just went through the build. Great work and nice truck! Long journey to get here. Enjoy the April 11 show!

Upper trim looks nice. What did you use to install it? Clips? Tape?

Carpet I order a single molded piece from NPD And it fits well, however I will need to install addtional carpet (custom) higher on firewall where original for wall padding went. And also behind seat where fuel tank sat.

I used clips on most of the truck as I still had orginal holes where molding had been installed before. I did replace rear bed panel and opted to use tape for that one so I did not need to drill holes. I used 3m trim tape and seems to be holding well.

Truck looks great! I noticed you are using the cpp master cylinder rather than a booster setup..how does it stop? Rather, how much effort is needed compared to factory power?

Thanks for the comments HeavyD. I am using Wilwood master cylinder with 1/4 bore. I have 4 wheel disk breaks and a portioning valve. With this setup I have nice easy pedal and it stops good. I know a couple people running this setup and all like it.

Took an opportunity the other day and had a buddy help me powder coat the rims. I had a local shop sand blast them for me first. Below are some pictures. Name: wheel sandblasted.jpg

Your truck turned out awesome

What color was the original paint color code for the green? I'm debating colors and I'm leaning toward the original green.

**Advanced Design** · 04-07-2015, 12:45 PM

Wheels look great. Did you powder coat them yourself?

Yes I had a buddy that had an old electric Kitchen oven and powder coat gun. I had the wheels broke down and took them over and did them at his place. Nothing fancy but they came out looking pretty good. We ended up putting a couple coats on baking after each coat. Great to learn new skills.

Thanks I am not sure the ordinal color code. It would be the light green from a 70 Chevy c10.
