Painted frame with POR15 chassis coat black and painted link bars chevy orange for now. Ran exhaust. Had to go with a stack for now until I can figure out how to get exhaust through the back when the suspension is dumped.

We sanded the bed down and I gave it a quickie paint job with hot rod flatz hugger orange. Man, I was really surprised how well it came out. If I would have gotten more paint, it would look even better! I found all of my trim I've been collecting over the years and installed it all.

Bed back on truck.

Built stack. I went with 8" because the front cross member in the bed sat so far back that it looked dumb with a 5" stack 4" behind the bed panel. The 8" looks better, and I had the material on hand.

Thanks guys. Yeah, I think I almost have all the pieces on it. Well not really. :) There's still a lot left to do. Isn't there always?

Last night I got the RH inner fender painted and this morning I installed it. Then I had to beat on it so the air filter would go on. I will have to redo these inner fenders later on.................

The above picture was before I tried shutting the hood. The hood hinge got all up in the air filter's goods so I had to rearrange it again.

I finally drilled the mounting holes for my front bumper reinforcement bars and installed them. This is another part that is different from 2wd to 4wd on these trucks.

Tomorrow I have to install my new headliner and trim, install the sun visors, touch up some scratches, I'm going to try to paint the black on my trim, and clean the bed out. Then it's off to KC!

This truck is so FLIPPIN COOL Enjoy the show Safe Trip

How's this beast coming, Ryan?

It's in limbo right now. I removed the 5 speed trans and am swapping in an auto because I want to be able to do some racing this summer with it. I also am installing front air ride this spring. This has changed my game plan............. I'm now switching front axles to a 79 Ford D60, cross over steering, I'm going to have to pull the cab and engine to do this work. Not what I want to do but I want the air ride on the front. So currently it is sitting with no trans and tcase. :LOL:

Still awesome work even if it is temporarily down. I'd love to do a build with a diesel and an older truck somewhere down the line.
