The link to my build is in my signature... its called "Sinister" .... Last page has the hood and my dash... I am working in a pinhead account. I havent really taken pics of all my practice work on glass. Most of it has been tracing basicly. getting both sides even is my biggest problem with freehand stuff. I have only been doing it a couple months and dont have enyone to learn from other that youtube. LOL

Sweet! I've been looking for a build thread on this truck ever since I saw pics in another thread. Cool story and similar to mine. I'm currently building my red '67 as a tribute to my grandfather and his trucking company.

Truck looks great man.

How did you do your air ride?

I finally got tired of bottoming out my headers and control arms so I took a the air ride set up I had set aside for another project and put it on the truck. First step was to pull the bed off and figure out where to hide everything.

I designed an "air management shelf" and had my buddy cut it out for me and began fitting the pieces together.

I didn't want to cut up the bed on this one so I want with Porterbuilt's C-notch and shock mount bar.

Since the bed was already off I also added a Boyd's Welding tank with a custom filler.

Great work on this one. I really like the mounting system you made for the air ride stuff. Looks supper clean and organized.

I really like the direction your truck is going in. It's nice to see some people building clean LWB trucks! If you don't mind me asking, Where did you get the metal radio panel in post #39?

Picked up this old gas can at the Portland swap meet which just happened to match the paint perfectly.http://i251.photobucket.com/albums/g...psjilpqaps.jpg

Re: Williams Plumbing 67 C10
 
Decided to use the gas can as my filler point for the tank I had put under the bed.

Thanks guys, I don't think I could've matched the paint/patina any better.
