Darn computer color rendering! lol. It's good to know though. If I were to tint a dash pad, that grey would make a good base color to start with.

Got the truck pretty much complete. Took it to its first car show today and won first place in my class.

Truck is awesome great attention to detail. Question for you on the brake lines. Do you have 1 3/16 line coming off porportion valve for front disc then splitting to 2 3/16 lines to each front wheel with 1 1/4 line going to rear?

Re: 1967 swb frame off build
I'm curious, how do you like the fuel injected LS with the TH-350 and what rear gear do you have? Also, who built your wheels?

That's exactly how I'm running the fronts. I ran my line before I bought my master and didn't realize It had two ports for the front. The rear line is also 3/16 line.

I'm not really a fan of the Th-350 with my 3:73 gears. This winter I'll be installing a 4l60. On the highway running about 65 mph I'm at 3100 rpm. The wheels were bought off of a member on this site. Not sure who built them.

I understand that, how did you connect the kick-down for the transmission?

Never did hook it up. I'll drop it down a gear manually for passing. Another reason I want to go 4l60

Will the swap to a 4L60 require a new harness or are you going to use a stand alone controller?

Couple pics from this past weekend. We've been lucky in the Chicagoland area with some decent November temps. Gonna enjoy the truck before the snow starts to fall!
