    I've enjoyed watching this truck come together. My first was an '81 Chev Longbead. If I could find that truck today I'd buy it right back!

                  Looking at this makes me want to do one of those grunts that Tim Allen used to do on his show Home Improvement.

                              Honestly my wife chickened out too. She didn't trust it to be reliable. Britt got into a CNA program at school and she will have to travel between two schools everyday for the first semester than interning second. So we (the wife) thought we had better get her something more reliable.
                              I do want to get going on the truck again and I think the the first thing will be doing the dash pad with an OEM replacement. That PVC overlay I really didn't like how it turned out.

                                We did the replacement dash from LMC but we still had to do some trimming and it does not fit so good around the old stock bezel. I need to order a new bezel any way so going to see how it fits b4 I call them about sending a new one. We just added the new black carpet this weekend just need to get the seat redone in black leather and new seat belts in black.

                                Ill post some pics this week of the new paint job and new interior.
