After 3 long months and the painter having to reshoot my entire truck over again, it's finally starting to come home. I really like the new color. Been working on it for a couple weeks. Hoping to have the truck together the beginning of the new year. I'm installing the glass this weekend and also started on the wiring

What mat are you using inside your cab?

Thanks Zig. That is pipe insulation from Lowes, it has a sticky back so it sticks to metal pretty easy. The only problem I had is I undercoated the inside of the cab with the rubberized stuff so I had to use 3m glue to make it stick. I didn't use any undercoating where the headliner go's so I didn't need any glue for that, stuck really good without anything.

Thank you Steve, can't tell you how many times I told myself how sick of sanding I was. Never seemed like it would ever end, but now I'm glad I stuck with it.
Installed my glass today the back glass went fine, but when we got to the front it did not want to go in, it was like the glass was to big. I think it needs to be trimmed, my friend is going to have another guy come over and look at it. So I should know in another week on that.

It's a Dark Metallic Grey which has lots of metallic's and pearl's in it to give it a translucent look so it will change color's.

Thanks for the pictures! Very nice.
All the wiring is almost done and AC, wipers hook up inside. I ran weather packs and a bulkhead for the wiring. Installed jute and Bentley carpet.
I installed a lock up for my 700r4 and the setup was so long I had to fab a bracket so the setup with my gauge setup for the mechanical drive would be on the side away from the proportional valve on my brakes
