Great build and write up! I’m following along.

Exhaust is done. Bumper back on. It’s a running and driving truck now. Need to shim and align the bed/cab better then move on to paint/body

Love your shop, I'd love to have a wood bed and stainless steel exhaust! Perhaps I could just drop by and you could sort me out! LOL

Great work and that green is the only color I like better than my Bronze (but I do like my white with it).

Any more updates on this build? Did you ever install NVU gauges or PB hood hinges. Interested in the install and feedback on both of those pieces.

Unfortunately been working on a couple other cars to make $$ for this build. I have enough parts for the phase 2 ready to go. Will start back up in a few weeks

I have the NVU gauges installed. Work perfect. My only issue is I ran my tach wire in my main wiring bundle do it is catching some interference. I’ll fix that when I rewire it

Took a long break to finish a couple other trucks but now I’m going again. Also moved and had to setup a new shop. A bit smaller but functional

Had to rework a new bedside to match the tailgate. Love repop parts

New to me OEM doors. No rust. Cost me some $$$ but worth it. Fitment is way better than the aftermarket ones I had

Enough upside down photos

Got the front end back on. Good gaps, and doors open/code easily with GMC Paul’s push on weatherstrip

Also got the grille fit. What a pain. Had to move the mounts on the drivers side because it was shifted 3/8” to the passenger side. Also had to break the spot welds holding the headlights in and reweld to center them in the trim

Got the vintage air condenser in

Got started on the under hood filler panels after I installed the porterbuilt hood hinges

Also mounted the battery under the bed on a custom drop down mechanism I designed
