looking good. what does that dash look like when it's all done? did you have to fill in the end vent and headlight switch due to narrow cab?
did you set the firewall back from the original 55 firewall location? kinda looks like it with the fillers at the top of the firewall. it came out really nice anyway, great skills you have there.
just curious, with the smaller OD tires, whats the cruising rpm on the highway like? I/m thinking of using 235/60r17 or 235/55r17 just to keep the rpm a little lower at highway speeds.
nice job on fitting the stuff under the hood as well. my battery will live under the box.
