Nice truck/build!

Lovin' the front bumper, where ya gonna mount your front plate?

Also, in post #196 it looks like a one piece door glass but that's not what you wound up with?

Nick, it was good meeting you tonight. Came home and read your build. Unbelievable. Hell of a job. Maybe I'll see you in Kemah tomorrow night. And if you ever need an extra set of hands, let me know. I'm only like 5 minutes down the road. (I know that's REAL helpful now that you're done with all the hard work. hahahah)

Simply awesome project! I wish I hadn't missed the build. You really knocked this truck out!

Joel, it was good meeting you. I'm planning on going to Kemah tonight but not 100% if I can. I did put a posi rear end in the truck. It's an Eaton chunk with a 373 gear. Thanks Mike, it's been a fun/very slow project. It has been nice actually driving it after approximately of 4 years of work. Few bugs to work out on the truck, but that's not surprise.

After the second little one last week, 11-2-11, I think it's time to sale it and find something that seats four. Will probably be posting it in the for sale adds soon.

@ 1967Wannabe : Sorry it took me so long to respond to your question, was just reading through posts, guess I had missed it. I originally planned on going with the 1 piece kit, but after the headaches, and frustration of the fit I sold it and just purchased new vent assemblies, regulators, and installed it all.

Truck needs some miles on it... sitting covered up in the garage for too long now. Maybe a schedule change in March so I can get out and drive it with the 2 year old, she loves it!

Shoot in March, your damn lucky. Here in Oregon I'm lucky if my hot rods can come out in May! Liquid sunshine.

That's what I assumed. My project came with a Brother's one piece kit still in the box. After all the reading, I'm going with vents. I like the old school look of them anyway.
