Not yet. I had some problems with the Covans Classic panel lining up with the factory holes. I'm still not sure what I'll do to fix it, but one way or another it will get mounted.

Thanks! I love the original paint and it makes it a lot easier to work on not having to be too careful about things

Here's a list of things I have to wrap up:
  • Brake system (rebuild passenger front calilper, bench bleed master cyl, run lines from master cyl. to frame)
  • Cooling system (radiator, electric fan, belts & hoses)
  • Fuel system (fuel line from pump to carb, hole in bed floor to access fuel filler)
  • Transmission (shift linkage, tranny cooler lines, driveshaft)
  • Air Ride (mount compressors, tanks, valves and eliminate leaks)
  • Interior (gauges, carpet, three-point belts)
  • Electrical (air ride, headlight relay, fan relay, general clean-up)
  • Exhaust
  • Body (bumpers, inner fenders, panel alignment, door weather stripping, and window felts)

I have rear discs, a painless wiring harness, vortec heads, and a narrow 6 lug axle (to convert to 5 lug), a york compressor, etc. but I think all those things will have to wait at this point.
