Hi all. Well it's been a while. Still waiting on paint to be finished. In the mean time I have been stocking up on parts for the truck. I purchased a billet dash panel here on the forums and have been piecing together gauges and prepping it to go into the truck. I also purchased new 2" lift leaf springs and the rest of my brake parts so I can Install in the truck when I get to it this Labor day weekend. It's tough restoring something that is all the way across the country.
The dash panel had to be machined a little to accept the Classic Instrument gauges. i have brushed the edges of the panel and am about to have the crinkle black power coat put on to finish things off. I think I'm gonna have the panel clear coated as well to protect the brushed edges.

Hopefully the paint will be done when I get there and i can start thinking about driving her home. More to come.
