Hey yeah life got in the way there for a bit. Yes and no on the body lines. Still got a few to adjust. I hope to have the exhaust installed the this weekend; after I figure out why my brakes are so soft. Gonna try and vacuum bleed my brakes and see if that helps.

Can't wait to drive it and feel that sway Bar in action.

10-4... I'm in a holding pattern too. Busy as all heck!

Your build is looking good. Sure doesn't look like your budget is "lo-buck" the whole front end is looking great. Doing it right hio.

[Craigerf100]

Welp my truck is finally out of the garage after a year and 6 months! I drove her up and down the block a few times... With no exhaust.... it was loud also with no brake lights and no signals.

Looks like somebody has been steady at it with their build . Could not watch video. Said it was private.

[HIO Silver]

Right on! Congratulations!

Ya know, if Darth Vader drove a Bump your rig would fit him like a flesh tuxedo.

Btw, I think your wheels are swapped around. The teeth should "bite" in the same direction.

Well probably they were the original rear wheels when I bought it. If look closely at the wheels they are different from front to back. Similar but different. I've got 2 other wheels like the rear; 1 with a bad tire they go on the front. The driver side tire on it now is dang near Balled and the passenger side will become my spare. I'll go loo at it. Thanks hio

And yeah it could pass as Darth Vaders truck. Which is cool for me cause I'm a Star Wars dork

Ah.. I was on a lil tablet when I posted that and couldnt make out the rear wheels in detail. Thanks for clarifying. Btw, I'm really jonesing on your interior. I've got low back buckets and brackets lined up but still a long road to hoe. I can imagine the vintage smells ...the good smells of yesteryears.

Ha ha! I too am of the Star Wars era. Yes, we share the Dork Side... it is our destiny.

[Craigerf100]

Yep hio when I took her for a spin the bucket seats just felt right.

Hey random, which wires do I cross under the dash to get the park lights to stay on when the headlights are on? I can't find where I read that on here.

Truck is looking good. Hoping I can have that high feeling when I drive mine down the driveway for the first time in 6 years.

Exhaust time! True dual h-pipe 40 series flowmasters. He took his time but he did nice work.
