Front with bug shield and bumper guards gone. I will be putting an 85 chevy grill in it with new chrome bezels soon, along with 4 more bumper bolts to fill the holes.That's it so far. I tried to take off running boards, but all the bolts are rusted and will have to be cut off. But I have a gas tank leaking, so I'm not gonna go throwing any sparks. Tank is on the way and I will have it put in and those stupid boards off this week. Still waiting on my lowering kit, dash pad, my rocker panels, cab corners and some interior trim I ordered. Parts should be coming in soon. Man is it adding up quick......

Bagged dually, I am making progress. I have it lowered and now I'm working on the rusty rockers and cab corners. I've got the the bed, front clip and all the doors off. I have the interior completely gutted and the dash tore apart as well. So since its completely apart ive decided to paint it. I'm doing a hotrod black, kind of a matt black but with just a tiny bit of shine to it. Also doing a red pinstripe on the top body line. I'm doing something different with the stock 16's, we will see how it turns out. But right now it's the rockers that are holding me up. I've never even touched a welder. But I went and bought me a Lincoln 140 and I'm learning. I'm hoping to have the drivers side rocker welded in tomorrow. I'll post pics soon!
Jcampbell, don't have the grill. It was so brittle, it snapped right in half when I took it off, I may still have the gmc grill emblem if that would help you out.
Cummins swap I am still doing, but it's gonna be next year. I want to get this thing on the road and enjoy it a little, before I tear back into it. But I'm definately watching your build and if you need some help with that cummins swap, give me a shout. I'm only an hour and a half from you, I might just make the trip.

I think I'm going to do my truck either Satin black or Satin blue also. I love the satin colors with a real heavy metallic pin stripe or design on it.
I've got a guy coming to the house tomorrow wanting to buy the donor dodge for the parts after I get my engine and other parts off of it. If he buys it I'll be putting the cummins in the dually within the next week or 2 after I get it out. Help putting it in would be great and even if ya just want to come and check out how ever I figure out to put it in our welcome to.
Looking forward to seeing some build pix.
Be sure when ya weld your panels in not to get that thin metal to hot and warp it up. I made that mistake when I first started welding and trashed a brand new patch panel.
