Truck is looking good man! Where did you get you're GMC tailgate? I like what you did with the grille, it looks good. Door gaps are looking good too, it's alot of work getting them nice, I'm learning that, but it should pay off!

Thanks man, the tailgate is from www.mar-k.com they reproduce really high quality original and custom truck bed parts. I also got my bed side from there.

Its Christmas again, my one piece headliner came in yesterday. Tried it on fits very well Will only need very minor trimming.

I've never seen these headliners before? Can they be fitted with the glass still intact??

I will contact him regarding the one piece. Looks like something smashed the top of my cab which bent the inner sheetmetal that receives the headliner. This would be a great solution to cover it up. Nice truck, by the way. dug.

Did he build a booth or have a pro booth? I am always looking for good ways to paint in the home shop.

That looks soooo good. Really want to see it in one piece, just hope the green glare doesn't burn the camera up!

jml55; just read thru 17 pages of your build
nice work, nice work indeed :D

not sure how i missed your build thread...
excellent work on re-configuring the engine harness (and seeing it work)
ingenious use of the spare floor to set motor and tranny mounts
grill insert looks awesome, you should think of manufacturing those
2nd paint job and body work looks better than the first, we've all been screwed before
also why most of us do our own work

but...

these pics have me thinking about a task force roadster pickup project
is my wife ever going to be pissed at you :D:D:D
