Got the cab and bed back from the sand blaster, now the fun begins. Should have some more pictures tonight.

Got the cab and bed in the shop and started to work on it and test fit the 99 dash, doesn't fit too bad, but will have to do a little trimming and fine tuning but shouldn't be a problem.

Also started shaving the drip rails, after seeing it done to a crew cab I thought it looked good and also gets rid of a catch all and common rust area.

Looks like quite a project. The side window defrost capability will be quite nice.

Figured I would throw a couple of pictures up of the bed.

What Roy said,

If you come across a Bump crew you should let me know....

It's looking pretty good though, gonna be a good looking pickup...

 

[DNFXDLI]

Been busy, had to remove the sheet metal of the top of the cab do to rust but am in the process of replacing it with a better one.

I hate when work gets in the way of personal projects, any ways I removed the firewall and front half of the floor pan and am now in the process of figuring out how best to install the 1999 stuff, I did test fit the floor pan and it fits pretty nicely but there will have to be a little sheet metal work done for it too look right so I am probably going to by a sheet of 1/16th steel for pieces that will need fabricated and filled in. I will try and get up some pictures soon, I did moc-up the dash and seat with the 99 floor pan and sat in it and just for a rough set up it felt bad @$$.
