I have a few but I'm a good mile or two away from you! :) Let me know if I can help though.

I'd like to know the origin/ manufacturer of the seat; looks like a good fit, and the details really set it off!
Paul
It is out of a Toyota T100. The fit is a little narrow but it does work and is very comfortable. You probably have 5 inches between it and the door on each side. It also has an armrest which is nice. We shaved it on this seat though.

Anyone here can do a truck like this. Just takes what none of us ever have enough of, time and money. :cry: Welcome aboard! Lots of helpful and knowledgeable people here.

This truck is like the rest of the ones we have done. It has a Heidt's front IFS (because it will not be a work truck anytime soon) a flipped and notched rear with a FAST fuel injected roller motor 302 and a AOD with a widened 9" rear.



Thanks for all the kind words and compliments guys! I'm sure everyone has pros and cons but I have gotten a lot of ideas and such here and figured maybe someone would find an idea worth using from this one. The gas tank is a universal piece that we us all the the time. We make the brackets and use different gas fillers to fit each truck style. It could easily be a cookie cutter type system for mechanical pump or electric. He ran a roll pan on this one so I tucked the tank as high as possible so I can't really get a good install picture. I may have one somewhere before the bed went on. I will take a look.

Great job on the truck. You do some fine work sir. I just switched to that same booster/master cyl setup and love it.

Only downside I see to the build but understand it's an owners preference, it's too nice to drive.

Yes, all PPG products. The color is a Harley Davidson by the name of Aztec Orange.

If I remember correctly they are 225/50/17 front and 275/50/17 rear. Need to check if you plan to use though.

It is a 302 roller with Edelbrock aluminum heads, E303 cam, and FAST fuel injection.
