Man, I know it's been a while. Works been killing me. I think about the truck everyday and I got a little progress to show. Stripped the cab down to the last bolt and painted it myself, John Deere Blitz Black. It came out really nice for my first paint job. She's starting to look like a truck again. Stay tuned...work on the truck should pick up in the months to come...

Cancelled the order for the harness from brothers, going with Painless. They look like the only one to utilize the stock bulkhead-style connection on the existing hole in the firewall...correct me if I'm wrong...

Hey Justin, I must have had a brain fart or something when I didn't recognize you on that other site and asked you about having a build thread. I'm used to thinking of you in the driveway shot rather than the last couple of pics in the back yard. Those I can relate to.
yeah, my wife got tired of the project being in the driveway last year, go figure...
We own the lot next door but it's been a swamp for the past 3 years. Last year, i had a total of 120 yards of dirt, or 10 dump trucks full, delivered and spread to bring the elevation up. Now i have a place to park my toys. Slab should be framed and poured next time i'm home and I plan to build a metal shop(fingers crossed). It goes without saying that will take away from the "build money" but it will be worth the wait having shelter from the elements...thx for watching

Building the truck GM never did..
Thanks, the seats are from http://discountvantruck.com/truck40-...seatsLotus.htm
The have adapters for many trucks and they fit perfectly.
A little pricy, but completely worth it IMO. Many styles to choose from...
