Thats kinda the plan I had but was concerned that the 4 guages would be too crowded. They would be replacements for the 4 tiny stock ones at the top. three guages would fit great tho. If I keep my gas tank full, I could omit that guage, lol. What about your door panels? I like mine, but am always looking for better ideas and inspiration.

If you really get stuck and can not find a roof I know a guy in northern Idaho who might be able to get you one! He is being forced to get rid of a lot of his trucks. It is a little far but I hate to see you get stopped on your project. I will ask a couple of guys down here as well.

thanks 56hotrodred....unfortenaly i am stuck at this point with the cab till i get another roof, i was thinking that if i dont find one soon, i'll just have to make the repare and hope for the best, i guess i can allways weld on another roof later, but i'd like to just go ahead and get it done now.....max.

Max, what exactly are you looking for in a roof? Outside skin?

My parts truck sitting near you still has a cab on it, but I believe their were mice living in the roof and the inside of the cab was rusted.

That dash is awesome. I have been looking around and thought that cramin 5 or so in them as I have seen was too much.

Good job.

Have you had any chance to look at that floor piece or are you guys still stuck in winter?

Thawing here pretty good but its not over yet.

How wide is the front and how wide is the rear axle on the '77 chassis? I see a lot of people using 4wd S-10 rears (60"), so I wanted to see how they compare.
