    Great work, looks amazing. What distributor is that, and where did you get the wire looms?

        Updating again....A few pics from the body shop. For what I gave these guys to work with , I thought they did a great job. There are a couple of things that will need to be fixed after I bring the assembled truck back to them.
        Many hours of ding removal went into the tailgate...$$$$$


        both of the fenders I bought from a fellow member here. My originals were in need of some serious repair.

        It doesn't look like it here, but the Box needed the most work. I almost scraped the box after they started. Was going to make it a flat bed truck, but my sweetheart convinced me to get it repaired. It turned out better than I expected.
        Got the new fuel tank installed. Went to MTS supply and ordered a 25 gallon fuel tank and sending unit, that I mounted in the spare tire area. I could of went with the larger 31 gallon tank which is the same dimension but a couple of inches deeper. http://www.mtscompany.com/images/chevygmc/2225.jpg
        Found a site that sells the fuel hose I needed to complete the install.http://www.jmesales.com/catalog/gasdiesel-farm,4455.htm
        I'm starting to see daylight at the end of the tunnel for the first time. I still have a long way to go.
        Fuel system is now operational to run the truck.
        Lots to do yet, Dash is going in next. Thinking of scraping the stock wiring and going with new wiring from painless http://www.summitracing.com/parts/prf-10103
        Aftermarket gauges, and a tilt column thru Summit also, along with Corbeau moab bucket seats. BJS offroad bumpers are on the Christmas list, hope fully Santa thinks I was a good boy.........?

                  Wow. Just WOW.

                  I've never liked that color, when Jeep came out with it for their (60th?) Anniversary. But it looks fantastic on that truck.

                  I can't believe how clean it all looks, you're doing an amazing job. Keep it up!

                        Back at the begining you said you never tackled a project this big. Looks Pro to me. Keep up the great work. Did you use POR15 on those cab cross members. What about the chassis and axles?
