Leave tomorrow. Piloting the boat down to Key West for the winter. But I'll be back quite often to visit. How about a rain check. I'll do a layover in Tampa and save you some fuel. LOL

Again, truck looks absolutely amazing.

Re: Al's 71C10 Rebuild

Hi Al,

The more I look at your truck the more I like! Perfect Stance and Tuck! Also do you mind if I use your photos for forums and website use?

Many Thanks again for the business and I hope to continue on your next project(s).

Let me know when you are ready for more interior billet.

Best Regards,

Perry
PTS

Also my buddy is going to be ok as next time he will wear a helmet.

Al,... I ran both my front air lines down the passenger side frame rail.
I connected to the passenger side bag routing the line thru the crossmember.
The drivers bag I also routed thru the crossmember under the engine.

Any time I run air line thru sheetmetal or the frame,... I run it thru a rubber grommet.
I also wrap the air line is some sleeving made by Painless Performance Products.
It helps protect the tubing from chafing.

How did you cut the air line tubing?
