Here are some pictures I took today. It's mostly back together. The paint job came out good, far from perfect but great for a driver.
Before we installed the windshield we repainted the top of the dash and dash pad.
We pulled the inner fenders before it was painted and cleaned up the engine bay (it was nasty). Both inner fenders had a little rust so instead of having to sandblast/repair them we bought new ones.
We are going to go back and paint the inside of the doors and door jams.

Thank you all, it's definitely came along way.

Saturday we removed the seat and sprayed the floor with SEM Rock-it Liner.
It sprayed out easy and gave us the texture we wanted. Pictures after it cured and with the seat installed.

Very well done!!!
I like the flooring!!! I have no use for carpet in my pickups.....
I routed plug wires in a similar way on my old 67 Bel Air, used straight plug ends though. Wires for a 77 Corvette are routed under engine, they used rams horn manifolds also, if you ever wanted to hide them...

Thanks. I like the flooring as well and plan to do some of our other trucks with it. Thats a good idea on the idea on the wires.

It is the original 327 that was rebuilt sometime ago.

And new wheels/tires.

Re: 1967 C20 Flatbed Driver Project
 
That thing will ride much better with new tire/wheel combo. Good choice!!!

Did that come with factory AC? If so, that's wild. I can't imagine a true work truck with AC...LOL
