Re: HuggerCST's '70 SWB CST build
Thanks! A little more progress has been made. I finally finished the fuel filler and LED tail lights, along with a few other things. I still haven't filled the tank yet though.

Re: HuggerCST's '70 SWB CST build
It has a throttle spring mounted at a angle so that it holds it closed, and when you open it, the spring cams over and holds it open. This is the best pic that I could get of it. You can see where the spring hooks into the light housing in the bottom pic, just below my finger.

Re: HuggerCST's '70 SWB CST build
Bed floor done, with hidden bed mounting bolts. This is white oak, with a little stain on it to bring the grain out, and about 5 coats of Helmsman spar urethane.

Re: HuggerCST's '70 SWB CST build
wow, it looks awesome! I haven't followed your build for a while, and man, what a killer ride.
I'm interested in how filling your tank goes, cause I put my filler in the same spot years and years ago. Without the vent line, it was a trickle fill! lol, but after I put the vent in, it filled much faster. I used 1 3/4" marine filler hose, don't know what size you used... Also, watch the pump,ime the auto shut off won't shut off until the tank is about to overflow and does overflow. your fill opening is about 3" or so higher than mine though, maybe it's just enough you won't get gas all over the place... bed looks just great though, hell the whole truck does ![]() ![]()

Re: HuggerCST's '70 SWB CST build
Thanks for the comments! I think the wood turned out great. I experimented with several stains until I found one that I liked. This one has a slight orange tint, which looks nice with the orange paint.
Mordachai- I think that I used 1.5" because things were pretty tight in there. After it makes the turn, it expands to 2" into the tank. I added a vent line from the filler to the tank, and a vent on top of the tank, so I'm hoping that I don't have any problems, but we'll see.

Re: HuggerCST's '70 SWB CST build
A little more progress. Almost done with the interior...for now. I love the buckets/console, but hate that my two boys can't ride, so I'm considering taking the center seat from a set of buddy buckets, fabbing some brackets, having it upholstered to match, and bolting it in. I can always swap them in & out if I do it right. Hopefully I can find material to do it and make it look like it belongs.
