Hi mike,
I bought the gas tank by Brothers trucks.
And I cut off the brackets so I could install the tank
More to the back of the truck.
I will measure the tank this week for you..

Finisht installing the extreme dynamat on the roof of the Cab.

And workt on the dash, I moved the ignition switch to the right,and on the left I put the wiper switch, only i need a new switch, I dont like the black one.

Also installed the sigaret lighter.


I also installed the new fuel pump and fuel filter and fuel lines.



This week we are going to finish the american autowire cabels in the Cab, so I am hoping to start the truck this week for the first time with the key..
