Thanks Guys, I am having a lot of fun with this truck. Still need to finish off the rear end with a bumper or a roll pan or both, maybe some reverse lights, tag holder with a light...???... but that will be a winter project.

MPC - my wife insisted on the Moons with the red 'Chevrolet' letters....... I am a fan of a 5 spoke wheel, but these are growing on me...... maybe change the wheel color from black ????? and yes, that sound of the hood springs is a "special" one. ha ha

Ol Blue - Thanks

8man - not sure what you mean by 'before' pic, but the back of the hood sat up about 1/2 - 3/4 inch off the cowl, with no springs it sits tight on the new seal.


Gigamanx - the planks were rough cut at 11.5 inches, it would have been easier to just place 4 of them in the bed and be done with it, but I wanted the variation of the widths. I did put the full width (11.5 in) over the gas tank in case I need to get at it.
