Looks great. Where did you get the cold air intake tubing.

We get our tubing from http://www.spectreperformance.com/ then we weld them up to our application.

Our customer did not want the gas tank inside the cab in its stock location...so we moved it to underneath the bed, and made a filler neck in the rear wheel well opening.

This part isn't too exciting, but here are the brake lines being ran.

We upgraded the taillights to LED, but externally everything looks stock...also wired up the trailer hitch.

Just got the truck back from upholstery...still needs door panels and there's some work to finish up inside the cab, but it's mostly there, and looking great.

We are building the 72 for a customer...he plans to drive it...show it a little bit, but mostly just his dream truck for personal cruising.

Good eye...yes, the entire interior was done up in leather but in an OEM style including the door panels, and that is why you see the seam.

Sorry for the lag on "finished" photos...here are 2 from the day our customer picked it up...very tense moment when we used our lift to drive it into the back of his semi-truck...we chained the lift to his truck for security, but it was still very scary.
