Drew, why did all the other parts that you painted look so nice, then the last batch turns out fuzzy? Seems like alot of crap, seems like whenever that happens to me its usually my gun that has not been cleaned properly, and the new solvents are "melting" the old in the gun and blowing the lovely little chunks.

Just a thought, and remember I bought my booth at the same place you got yours!!!!

Drew,
Wow!! very nice work .. NEVER to be a critic or knocking any of your work .but i was wondering why you did not locate the fuel tank filler in the rear opening of the left rear fender marker light .. Does any one know where the old link for this modification is on here ? a while back some guy on here used a filler pipe .. He put it in the rear side marker light area .. he used the filler door harware from a s-1o p/u donar i think for the hinge and door .. he was able to fill his gas tank from the rear side marker opening.. i want to do this on mine as well .. someday with a rear tank.. any way..
Your truck is awesome and you are an amazing mechanic and metal worker . a true crafsman. i cant wait to see this on the road..
GOD BLESS AND KEEP THOSE PIC.S COMING.. DANDELUXE

My free gas tank, part of my free frame/engine/trans/rear axle /wiring /etc, has a filler neck that aims towards the front of the truck. I don't remember what page, but I have pictures of it on here. Since I am going for the stock sleeper look, I wouldn't want to shave the gas filler, and the gas tank neck lines up perfectly with it - so there you have it. I want the truck to look original so that the main thing that jumps out at you is " Wow, that sure is a clean factory crew cab". Not, "wow, that thing sure has a ton of body modifications done to it - look they even made it into a crew cab." See the difference?

Paint looks nice.

So congrats to you for the great job, and congrats to her for being so patient.

Do you still have a couple extra air handlers that you need to get rid of? I love the idea of using production parts and saving money. That is what has kept me from installing one of the aftermarket systems.

I am really thinking about getting a burb lined up so I can build myself a hauler this winter. I want as much cab room as I can get. With that being said, seeing how you have done yours already. Do you think you could cut the burb body at the front of the rear wheel well and then add the truck cab rear portion on there?I'd like to have a lot of cab room if I can.
