Been a while since November 2007 when I last updated this thread. Since then I have rebuilt and installed my drivetrain, done a lot of work, assembled the truck, drove it a while, disassembled it and I am in the process of fixing the bed floor so it can go to final paint. I will get some new PICS posted soon. It has been a long road that I hope is nearing the end.

Nice progress on your truck. I agree with the older bed, I have a 67 and I like the clean lines it has..

There has been a giant gap in this thread, and I noticed my early PICS have been lost. The truck is in the paint shop now for the final time. Reassembly will be very soon! I will keep you updated here at the end.

Thanks for the replies. I bought a new tag for it and drove it to work today. Feels good.
