any progress? looks pretty slick so far
Well other then doing alot of wet sanding, buffing and polishing, putting in the inner front fender wells and installing the tilt steering column. The weather has been pretty frickin cold here and the funds are being diverted to other projects I.E. Operation Christmas.. The project has been sittin. I did however order my new guages for the dash and I am waiting for those to come in... I will post some pics as soon as I get some....
Amazing work great thread!
I somehow lost track of your build up. You have progressed very far from the last place I saw. You are really good and THE TRUCK LOOKS AMAZING! I am envious of the red paint job. I am so far from chosing a final color for my truck. Again nice work!

Update
Alright sorry guys been a little helter scelter around here lately with the holidays and breaking up with the Fiance and all. My Holidays sucked, but that wiont keep me down. I got all my auto meter gages installed in the stock bezel all but the speedo I just have to trim it and install it. I will get pics as soon as I am done. On the other hand, I was doing work for this guy on a BBQ trailer of his and for payment he gave me a running 1982 3500 dually with a 454.
Here are pics of the donor truck.
the engine..
My Plans are to swap engines and radiators from one vehicle to the other. Any advice would be greatly appriciated. and that is where I am as of today. the weather has also been pretty darn cold here to, just makes me want to stay home...

Dash Pics
Well been busy studying for testing to make E-7 but all testing aside I have the day off from work and figured I would show you my new dash gauges.
Getting ready to install the last guage
Last one installed, not to bad wish I would have gone with the in dash guages, but oh well turned out nice
Had to do alot of triming with the dremel
Now for the fun part the wiring, Oh well it has to be done...

Love the resto job. Mine will get the same treatment when I return home and get my garage built. Everything looks great. Hope all goes well with your test. What is your job in the AF.
Topper installed w/pics
I am a Boom Operator in the AF. Refuel planes in the air. Fun job, kinda boring after doin it for over ten years..
Well I have been busy messing with the whole dash cluster and such. But I installed the topper this weekend and its lookin good.
Once I get the vent windows back from the pros it should start going pretty quick. We shall see..
