Cab looks incredible! Awesome work as always. I know how time consuming it is putting all that stuff together, sometimes I think I should move a bed to the shop.....

Re: 1971 factory short,big block, complete nos restoration

Looks great...other than the critters. I just find the typical, spiders, hard-shell bugs and the occasional mouse. All I'll take over those. One advantage to living in Indiana I guess.
