Thank you Canuckvetter. I plan on cutting down that front panel to match the bed floor.

Can you show what your using as a base for the foam seat ?

I'm using the factory bench seat with the springs removed. I have a 2000 rack under it, and a combination on 67 and 00 feet attached to the bottom.

I've been workin on finishing the second battery bracket. It's almost there, then I just have the second strap to do.

Here's a shot of both. I'm real happy with how they came out. On to the next project.

Almost 24,000 views. I would say somebody must be looking at it.

[MarleyMarvelous]

Just makin sure I'm not wasting my time. Lol. I have lots of progress pics comin up!

Man, this is assume.

[Indyfab]

Awesome fab work and build!

[Stickman]

Just keep the updates coming, you do awesome work.

You aren't wasting your time. If you don't have any response, it doesn't mean no one is looking, it just means they aren't responding. Your post might help someone a year from now, or tomorrow. Even if it doesn't help someone while you're active on this site, you can always look at it like a journal of your build process. And even a way to keep the records of parts you've used or what exactly you did to the truck. Keep posting. Several people are watching.

[MarleyMarvelous]

Ok. Thank you guys for responding. I'll keep going. Haha.
I came across the earliest picture I know of that was taken of the truck when my dad was driving it and working a ranch. The little girl in the picture is my 47 year old sister. And I was about 5 years from being born. Doing the math and a
little estimating, that primer was on a 7 year old truck. It's like it's never had a shine on it. Lol. #BadSeed #RanchoAelegria

I designed some custom mounting feet for my A/C condensor to separate it from the radiator. There's a slight bend in the mounting feet. The core support is double walled where this mounts so I drilled through the first layer hiding the mounting screw inside the double wall. This will all be behind the radiator.
*The condensor that showed up in the mail was damaged, making it my mock-up condensor. That's why it looks bent in the pics. They sent a replacement and told me keep the junk.

[MarleyMarvelous]

The mounting feet were cut by DotLowRides in Texas

[builtbyKane]

looking sharp. keep those pictures coming.

[MarleyMarvelous]

I found some billet mounting straps for a roll bar light mount. They worked great to hold my A/C drier canister

Got my Hedman Hedders the other day. These fit real nice.

I bought a small oil cooler with a 7" electric fan. I made a custom shroud for it. This this will most likely be located behind the cab, but it's still up in the air for now.

[MarleyMarvelous]

I tapped the screw holes for these air-lift sensor mounts, installed my little 3H covers and found a home for the set up on the frame.

[Custom 68]

I just got all caught up. This is a great build. I have a 68 and I really like those inserts.
Keep up the great work and keep the updates and pics coming.

Your build is sick man. Couple questions. Where did you get your grill inserts done? What are the specs on those blue headlights?

Keep it up, inspiring build with your talent.

Thanks TA_C10! The headlights are Toyota FJ projector headlights. They are 7" round and fit with a little adjustment to the headlight bucket. The grille inserts are one off built for me by a friend.

I don't want this thread to be one of those threads that die with no ending. So I intend on getting back on the truck and posting here soon. After buying a new house with property in the country, I basically to completely remodel it myself just to live in it. Haha. It's been a few years now and it's time to get the truck going. Stay tuned.

P.S., It's exactly how it was left in this thread still.
