Well a few more pics from today's work. I was going to leave the center of the dash alone and put my air controls and a few other things in there, but then decided nah, I'll fill it in and make is smooth. So that's what I did. Welded new metal in, body filler, and etch primed, then filler primed and now doesn't look half bad for a rookie fabricator. I fixed all the remaining dents in the back of the truck and primered the rest of the truck so that it is now once again all one color. I re-installed my column and this time had the parts to connect it to the gear box so now my truck can be turned with the steering wheel instead of kicking the tires. well I had pics to show, but it won't let me load them. I'll try again later sorry guys.
Stay on it! That looks GREAT! Nice and smoooooooth! Now your truck can go up-down, and left-right. All you have left is back'ard and forward!
