talmadgemoss - You're starting on what appears to be a very nice truck, congratulations!

My only comment is, Beware the "slippery slope!" All the things you are doing is what I started to do with my '55 and if you take a look at my thread you'll see I slid ALL the way down the slope. It's easy to do if you love these trucks. You make an improvement and then "while I'm in there" kicks in and you do another thing because the one thing you did makes something else not look so good.

I'm not exactly complaining because now my truck is nearing "truck of my dreams" status but my bank account is nearing "bank balance of my nightmares" status" Lol
