No not really just notched out the bottom of the bed rail and upper frame rail for the neck filler. That's what I did you may not have to.

Re: Project " Melting Pot"
Wow I love this truck, my 68 is probably going to be similar when done. You are giving me inspiration. Red is my favorite color but I have been on the fence about painting my project Red cause my last C10 was Red. I keep telling myself you already had a Red truck but after seeing yours and how amazing it looks in Red, I think you made up my mind. Now just to figure out if I should go with a Red interior again or Black.

Good job on the build, I love it man.

Thanks for the kind words , it always feels good when someone likes what your doing. Went with red for resale reasons and black interior for a more sporty feel .I know what you mean about doing another project in red considering when you have so many colors to choose from. As far as a red interior, very classy !
