Thanks, our wedding is coming up the first week in April. Just keep plugging away between everyday chores. How's your Dmax project?

Re: Project: 1972 K30 Crew Cab Duramax

I haven't decided just yet. I have been looking into getting a custom dash made from New Vintage USA. I like their 69 series. I have seen Dakota Digitals and others used. You could possibly even use the stock gauges and convert the factory speedometer to electric. Trevor

31 gal blazer tank. I believe there is a 40-45 gal. Suburban tank as well, but won't fit a swb frame. Would have to be a long bed.

Taller garage door before this shop door. Kind of an odd garage. This one is a drive through garage in the back of where my normal parking spot will be for it. It was the previous owners wood shop. My jeep has 4" lift and 35"s and fits under that door fine.
I am only going to keep this truck at 4" lift max or below.

Re: Project: 1972 K30 Crew Cab Duramax

Wedding is coming up. Lots of last minute things to do to prepare for it. Getting anything I can done on the truck. Tonight it was pulling out my tailgate and getting my clearance lamps drilled out. I am using the 73-80 style lamps as the lens said 70....usually lamps have which year they were started. It was all about the details.

Re: Project: 1972 K30 Crew Cab Duramax

Had to clean out the garage to organize and to get prepared to work on this thing. So I pulled it out to clean off it off and snapped a few pics while at it. She hasn't seen much daylight since starting the build. I also removed the roof again to complete the welding on my inner, but did see that the outer roof will lay how I want it.
