I did not realize that I had not read your entire thread before today.
Awesome work you have done here. Is your build timeline the same as your posting? If so you are just jamming along!!
Though I understand you have experience, help, tools, equipment, and probably time up on me

Your dash is looking super nice too, I dig your mods!
Thanks for the sq-ft info on the deadner, I would never have guessed you could use 50sqft inside a single truck cab like that.....

Also glad you mentioned the boxing in of your frame rear for tank protection. I am going to give mine a second look now too when I get back to that end of the rig.....

Keep it coming, I am digging this.
I just found and oem rad support and inners and they fit properly with just a slight lean when all bolted together,nothing like the aftermaket parts.Ill be posting some pictures later tom of how well they all fit !
My build started a year and a half ago,so I'm not moving anywhere near the speed it appears to be.
Thanks for the complement's they keep me motivated !

Cheers,
Ed
