Re: 4x4 48'
Yeah I don’t always get updates on here on a regular basis. I basically went to the shop and gave them a piece of the truck that I kept for matching the paint. I call it close enough.

Re: 4x4 48'
Installed the headlights and taillights and found when installing the taillights that the housing hits the bumper bracket that I modified so I made new ones.

Re: 4x4 48'
Just read your build and it looks awesome. I'm wanting the same colors too. Classic green on outside and I've been trying to figure out what brown I want on inside. Got some carpet and headliner samples in and looking forward to getting interior done. What shade of brown is that?

Re: 4x4 48'
Well it’s been a while since I posted anything. I spent the winter months figuring wiring out on the truck and troubleshooting the fuel pump wiring. I fear the relay that came with the harness is bad or I didn’t wire it right. I got my doubts I wired it wrong as there are only 3 wires to connect. The one thing I can show off is the the steering wheel as I put the cap on now that I verified the horn works! I’m hoping this next week I get the pump sorted and see how the engine runs. Then onto the brakes.

Re: 4x4 48'
No, I put some notes earlier on how I made it. Basically used the roof to make the liner. It worked pretty good. If you’re not looking to do custom work like I did I would recommend just buying a one piece from a reseller. Much faster and easier

Re: 4x4 48'
Well she runs if it were only for a minute. Now I need to get the gauges installed so I can check oil pressure so I’m my wondering if my motor is going to lock up on me.

Re: 4x4 48'
The clusters are installed with the switches that control them. That’s the last of the items to be installed on the dash.
