My computer with all the pics of the original build has locked up and I havent been able to access any of them, plus it was my first total complete tear down and I really didnt take as many pics as I should have. I've done 95% of the work but I had lots of help along the way. A friend of mine who is a great custom audio guy (he has had numerous cars at SEMA) helped me build the console and I love it. The way it ties into the dash and the body lines flow into it makes it look almost factory.
As far as the paint, I do not like it. Its a cool color but its got an odd sheen to it and that prevents the flake to really pop. Thats why I'd like to patina it, I think that would make it look much better. As far as the drop I believe its a 4/6 spring drop and has 2 in blocks in the back and I cut 1 coil on the front. The rims are 15x7 and 15x10 I cant remember the front tire size but I think the back are 255/50.
Thanks for the compliments, I just found this site recently and it has really rekindled my fire for this truck, I had almost given up on it.
So here is the progress for today: I have the original wiper motor that did not work, so I bought a brand new one from classic it did not work and i had waited to long to use warantte so I bought one that "tested good" from ebay and it does not work so 3 wiper motors and none work!

But on a positive note I did get the bed unbolted and the floor out so tomorrow got a friend coming to help me pull it. Then I can start on the C notches, bags, new fuel tank and new bed floor (which I am taking suggestions for but thinking about trying to see if I can fit a pair of antique doors in there.
