    Well... it's been awhile since I've posted.

    Lots of changes since the last time I posted. Dakota Digital RTX guages, Willwood big brake kit, wheels & tires, exhaust (again), sway bars front & rear, a new seat from Wise Guys (fantastic!) plus plenty of stuff I've forgotten haha!
    Currently working on new bedwood, and it's getting dropped spindles, tubular A-arms & coilovers in a month or so.. I've got a long way to go, but she's lookin better all the time!

    Crappy pic, but these are the Dakota RTX guages. They look a lot like the factory, but have all of today's tech. Pretty sweet.

    Replacing the OE seat gave me a TON more room in the cab. Exactly what I hoped for.

    FYI; I now have a complete seat with frame, sliders, even the side trim pieces.. all in excellent condition. Black HD vinyl. I figure 500. plus shipping would be more than fair if anyone is interested.

    In about a month, I'm also going to have this wood kit for sale. I was going to sand it down & stain/clear it... but my better half, daughter & son in law had other ideas. They got an all new bed wood kit for me for Christmas. The wood, the SS strips, all the SS bolts as well as the mounting bolts will be available. It's 1300-1400 for everything new.. I figure 400 plus shipping is fair.

    Looks like you're making good progress and peaking & tweaking it to what you like .
