Re: my 68 shortbed build

Awesome work, very impressive, love several ideas you have, I am gonna steal them as well, I am building 3 trucks myself, one thing I am doing that I did not see on yours is: I am removing the vent box and vent hole on the sides of the cab, welding in a piece of flat metal and covering over like you did the cowl, there is no vent hole on the side nor is the box there to catch leaves etc and rust out the side kick plate on the cab, when it rains, it runs straight on through with nothing to stop it, excellent work, thanks for the ideas

That looks like a really cool idea. Can't wait to see how it turns out with the gauges.

Re: my 68 shortbed build

That dash is killer can we see a pic of the guages through the steering wheel? I guess what im asking is can we see what you see while your looking through the wheel.
