I have to say they look way better in person than any of the photo I've seen. Good Just Man!
Yes, tool box cover. Didn't realize at the time that this is where they were going. Thanks for the feedback.

Getting ever so close to finishing this project. Got to take my first est drive today and only had to pull the carb off once to clean and adjust the float. Also gave her just a bit more advance and she runs way better.

Took me two days to complete this Data plate. I hand etched with a razor everything. Not as 100% perfect as my OCD wants but my wrists can only do so much.... We had repros but wanted to keep this one atleast OE.

Well, your OCD certainly paid off. A very nice looking truck.

Call me Silly, but few years short of ten and I realized I never posted final photos of said project. Or atleast I don't think I did.

Nice, Right down to the flat top air cleaner with screen inlet and the breadbox voltage regulator and single horn hood latches. I just happen to have the correct Holley carb for it if you are looking. Looks like you will also need the old style parking brake handle. But looks excellent as is. I have always liked the NDT tires instead of the NDCC. The only downside is they are a bit smaller.
