Another sidebar I want to take is the wiring.
With one of my backgrounds in Electrical/Electronics Engineering I am going to do something unique to the truck
and incorporate some electronics to to the wiring while retaining some old school technology.

Take the bed off.

Stepside bed repairs:
Sanding, filling & dent/warp sheet metal repairs.
Bed floor - Stainless Steel/Aluminum

I have changed my mind about the Cadillac tail lights.

Yes..... I know I was talking about it for a long time but now I just have a re-thought the concept and wanna going with a different approach now.

I am now thinking about a metal roll pan with Corvette lights similar to the photo below:
http://image.classictrucks.com/f/Rog...te-tail-ba.jpg
And I also kinda wonder how these like would look above a smooth roll pan:

Some other tid bits may arise.

Actually I'm using my Samsung Galaxy S III (8MP Camera) which takes photos @ 3264X2448 pixel resolution.
I took them landscape and portrait but when you upload them as an attachment here it downscales them in landscape mode it seams.
I'll load'em on my Skydrive account later.
You know.. I forgot my phone has the Panorama and some other cool features.
I'll use that and record some videos in HD.;)1080P HD

Some friends were by while I was putting the cab back panel in, and commented on the notes I had written to myself on the piece I was working with.
I had to smile when I saw that I am not the only one that does that !!

On your door frame where it says "Door Strap" are you mounting a courtesy handle/strap there?
