What company did you get the steering column from. That chrome looks good in there. Much better than just a painted one.:metal:

Great to see & hear it running.

Nice work on the tail light french job. Can't wait to see the lights in place.

Keep up the great work.

i got the cab mounts finally tightened down, started securing the brake line on the frame and doing some little stuff under the truck while i had the jack under it. i think im gonna rerun the gas line so the bends are the same as the brake line...

What pickup are u referring to? Shouldn't matter where you put it just as long as you can access it easily. Mine is right on the frame just a few inches from the pump, another at the back above the rear axel.
