The part i was really dreading is almost complete.
The wiring is almost done. I have working headlights ( both high and low beam ), front parking, rear parking, front and rear turn signals, brake lights and finally back up lights. Had to redo some grounds a few times but all is well now.
Even think i got my tank to read pretty close to right also. So my dash all works minus the windshield wipers which i still need to work on but all is going pretty good now.
Sorry, no pics yet but will try and get some with the lights on soon for you all.

Here are some more pics from todays tire mounting episode / sweating episode.
Worked on my hood also today getting it ready for paint, hopefully in the next few days.

Looks ready to go for a ride, Darin!
Darin,
Man that thing makes me want a lwb so bad.....that truck looks awesome, love the tires
I'm going to give it my best effort this weekend to get the pedal assembly and carb stuff off my motor this weekend......assuming it doesn't interfere with bumper manufacturing
Keep up the good work, Matt

Thanks Matt. It will be a little bit before i am driving this. Hopefully if all goes well it will be in a few weeks.
I think the tires make it look a little old school. Which is what i wanted.

Was your bezel black originally? Just curious. I like it. Mine's white, not sure the rhyme and reason for bezel color, I've seen them both white and black... EDIT went and looked at page one, why didn't you stick with the tan and turd-brown high light scheme?
The tires look sweet! They're very similar to mine.

Got the top side of the hood sprayed now. Think it came out pretty good.
Had to redo some of my smaller parts though. Paint shop had said i had gotten the paint on to thick and too many coats. So sanded them back down and resparyed them Came out better this time.

Your truck is looking awesome. I also like the tires you chose. I like that old school look. I would think the skinnier tires would make it easier to steer also.
Watching your progress makes me want to get cranking on mine again.
