    Hey Sid I just wanted to show you some pics of the truck now that I'm driving it and its basically finished. I still have to do door and kick panels.
    I've been driving it for about two months now and working the kinks and its been a blast.
    I had it dyno tune to dial in the LS motor and it made 325 hp and 327 lbs of torque at the rear.


    Here are some shots yeah I changed it to a Fleetside when the panels became available.







    The bed is completely welded together so that no bolts show. I made that inside panels to give it a smooth look.
    The tubs are trailer fenders I bought on ebay and I made the angle strips that flow back into the bed.
    I also cut and milled and the wood for the bed myself because I did not care for how busy the stock wood is.


    Here is a video of the wife and I taking my first cruise in the truck together.
    Here it is at a couple of local meet and greets I went to.




    I hate when people leave build threads and never show the finished product. So here is that update.

          The Electric Windows are installed and working properly. I had the glass custom cut to a template I made. The store bought glass just did not fit to my liking. The fits great now.
