Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
So after all the blocking, blocking and more blocking I have some color. It came out pretty nice.






Now its time to install the engine and trans and wire it up.

I also got some goody's for the truck. I went with the Dakota Digital VHX 55-56 Belair gauges.



I'm still chipping away little by little lately.

Standard bearclaw latches. I had this installed like in the pic by PTC until I decided that I wanted to put my fuse box in the cab corner instead of under the dash (way to crowded under there with the pcm). So I re installed them the standard way.
