Best looking vehicle in the parking lot! I have the same floor mats in my truck.

Nice work, especially in the engine compartment. Any updates?

It's been a while......been tied up on other projects. You'll notice some radical changes. We added Air recently using 'Old Air Products' Hurricane system.

I've added front and rear sway bars from CPP. Really improved the overall handling.

Truck looks Great. Stance is perfect, under the hood, very cool, a nice surprise. What power window set up did you use?

Re: 'Morning Glory' 1971 C10 Stepside
 
I installed Nu-Relics. Super customer service. I mangled the driver door regulator and they cross shipped a replacement under warranty

I know this is 4 years ago - but wanted to comment and ask a few questions.
Fabulous build! Just came across it. Also hopping up my inline 6.
Wondering if you can disclose which water neck that is and which top tad hose you used in this build? I am doing a similar build to my truck that is a long time coming! Many thanks for any information you can provide.

Hope you are well and that is a beautiful build.

Thanks for the kind words. Sadly I haven't been working on this truck much lately, but getting re started now. Not sure of your question, but the Accessory brackets are from ECIHotrodbrakes.com.

Finally updating some of this build progress. Here is the nearly finished interior.

starting on the Bed Replacement project. I've ordered the new front bed panel (AMD), bedwood, and stainless hardware. I'm curious about best panels for bedsides and fenders for this 71 SWB Stepside.

Is that a copy of the 71-72 sport mirror, with the indicator in it???

Re: 'Morning Glory' 1971 C10 Stepside
 
They looked close enough for me to the originals. I bought mine from Rodworx.
