I like it.

The cap i super smooth to pop up/open i ordered it from www.leatherup.com

It is acutally a chopper/motorcycle cap (weld in) so it worked perfect

Vince-

I used a combinaiton of parts. I used 55-59 SS tail light housings. I then added LED inserts and mounted them by modfying the 47-54 brackets. I always felt the 55-59 tail lights better matched the curves of the 47-54 trucks.

Now it would be easier. You can just purchse these parts and then modify 47-54 brackets to mount them to the bed

Thanks guys...its all in the details. Isn't that the saying. Honestly it took me a while befor I was happy with the way the lights/bracket and wire loom turned out. Trial and error you know.

Are you on the road with your truck?
Are you having any issues with fuel leaking from your gas cap when "tight" ?

I haven't had it out on the road to test but I am going to have about a 6 inch piece of hose from the fuel cell to connect the fill cap so hopefully that wont be a problem. it seems to seal rather tight.

Need some help the painter is rolling along got the good all smoothed doors are getting close. But I need to find the best place to buy a hardware mounting kit (stainless bolts) for the front end/hood/ etc if anyone knows of a place that sells them together ?

[joedoh]

bowtie bits has a nice kit

they sell the hood bolts too, separately.

[vince921]

well it was suppose to be back from paint tomorrow actually... but its still a few weeks out atleast unfortunely but its looking good and the painter is doing some cool little things I didn't even think of

[69CST-V]

Looks great....Gaps and the little things set it off..
Keep posting pic's

[vince921]

thank you will do!

[oldman3]

Looking good...Jim

Alright small update.! The truck is STILLL in the body shop. but is really coming along now. I was promised no questions asked! February 28th ill be picking the truck up ready to roll.

I have been acquiring parts while I'm waiting..

1 piece front windshield, NeRelics power window kit, gauges, harness so once I get it back ill have about a week or 2 of steady work to hopefully send it right off to interior!

Its taking awhile in the body shop but for good reason. it is coming out better then I could have imagined gaps/fitment/etc.

And the last picture is an awesome engine cover I'm currently contemplating and wonder opinions.. it was built by BH customs has anyone every seen them??

[youngrodder]

The body is looking great. it takes time to make them look good as far as gaps and body work. Glad its moving forward...
