Its alive
Got the truck running today was able to back it out of the garage on its own power . It is getting close to being done just waiting on the seat to get done and we should have the bed done this week and ready to bolt on . It has beed a lot of work this last year but the more it comes together the more it was all worth it !! I will post some more pictures when it is done

You should be proud! It looks like you did a top notch job on the resto! What size tires are you running? Is that a 2 or 4in lift?
