Couldn't agree more Rocknrod
and thanks for that link Scuderia. If I can take the dash out like that and get in to weld from the back I may well ne able to recreate the original.
Thanks for all the welcome's guy's. Think Im going to enjoy this forum and getting to know a new vehicle.
Anyway, took the plunge this morning (after spending most of last night looking at pictures of some wonderful trucks on this forum) and told the seller I'll buy the Chevy.
Trying to attach some pics but I think I'll upload to Photobucket first as I seem to be struggling with direct uploads.
