    A few shots of my very dirty dusty project. The home made roll pan is done and will use the lighted license plate bolts from Speedway for the tag light. Dyed the seats from their original black to a deep red and carpeted the floor and console. Windows and the instruments are in and the whole truck is wired. Next up is a/c and a modern radio. The work seems to go slow and the money fast but that is the price of the old car disease.

    Didn't mean to be so tardy with a response to any questions. The roll pan is hand fabricated from 18 gauge cold roll and the brake pedal is from an 85 Caprice. The entire truck is on the Caprice frame and has been channeled 5 inches. The frame was not shortened or narrowed and the tires ended up fitting very nicely in the wheel openings. A big drawback is the bed floor is kicked up in the center to clear the rear coil springs used on the Caprice. Will require a bed cover but it sure rides great.
