Finished (for now)
I haven't been on here for a while, but seeing as I have nothing else to do at the moment and somebody stopped by my old shop to tell me about the board. I was painting, but I guess I'm back on here again.
She's now airbagged FBSS with the compressor, tank, and solenoids mounted under the bed on the drivers side. Also, full stereo w/ 2 12s (800watts apiece), 64 Chrysler bucket seats, custom dash, and custom gauge cluster. Finally, waxed the paintjob and custom made side exhaust (you can only see it in the tilted picture, it wasn't made for the others) Well, enough talk, here she is:

Re: Finished (for now)
The dash is done, but it doesn't show up in pictures, the only one you can see "GMC" is the under construction picture.
As for the gauge cluster, it's the stock cluster fiberglassed over with the switches relocated, some lights from Radioshack, TPI Tech gauges, and black vinyl. If you want, I can write more about how I did it.

Re: Finished (for now)
That looks SHARP, I like the shade of green too. Just dark enough for all the chrome to really work...esp with the old school chrome reverse rims.

Re: Finished (for now)
Nice. What notch do you have in it? And do you have drop spindles?

Re: Finished (for now)
Thanks for the props, didn't realize that i was posting in the wrong spot. Oh well, live and learn. I'll toss some seat pics up later (you won't believe the seats were free).
Answer a few questions, i have 2.5" spindles w/discs in front w/ bags, and there is no notch!!! When aired out the frame literally sits on the rear end housing. I wasn't adventurous enough to put my notch in (i have one in a box), and I like how she sits without the notch installed. May go back and do some heavier frame work (z the front, huge notch rear) to put it as close as possible to the ground w/o a body drop. But that'll take time, and i no longer live w/ the truck (college) so she can wait. And you can't beat steelies and baby moons. Thanks for the props, she's built not bought!
