put on some goggles with a helmet. windsheilds are over rated.  you may need to take a road trip to the glass shop. think how kool it will be with goggles and a helmet. tell them winsheilds are over rated but you prefer to keep the truck stock looking. MIA paint & body men sux and does nothing but slow the progress down. I was lucky to have a buddy that 'wanted it' as much as i did when we made the deal to build mine. glad you got the tuning bugs worked out. bumper looks good.

stick them to the left side of the helmet. do not use the label off a beer bottle telling them you have not been drinking cause you are on the patch. that wont fly.  dont tell them to 'calm down Barnie,Andy will be here in a minute' either. here in FL we can get a 4 day paper tag to move cars/truck on the road to shops/home..ect I have drove a few time. with no glass or seats. I would think 72-80 for sure on the glass,not sure if it changed from 81-93. could be from 72-93 have you gave any thought to glass etching/art work on the back glass?

---update---Woo hoo...  finally got ahold of the "right" company...installers will be here by 2pm  and about the back glass, since the truck has no a/c it will soon (before next summer) have a sliding back glass installed for "flow through ventilation"

Burned a tank and a half of gas through the truck this weekend, hit a cruise night in the Albertson's parking lot, fielded some youngsters questions...is that a GMC?, you got NAZ on it? What happened to the wheel wells? Anyway, headers are now on order...by the way...it runs exceptionally well through the 318 manifolds funny thing was that probably the most intelligent comment I got at the cruise night was "why does it have exhaust manifolds still on it?" Bad news is that the painter has apparently taken his money and run (I know, shame on me). Drivers side is sanded with 2000 grit and that's the last time I saw him...never done any buffing and don't want to start now...anybody know someone in this area that will do mobile buffing?

Just a few...got the headers on last weekend and put new 2 1/2 inch exhaust on it...I really think it makes it run better...  The 318 manifolds and stock headpipes may have been creating a bit of a restriction  just sayin...

You are absolutely correct...I'll add that to my list of final touch items, inside of the bed is still not done, need to engineer some cold air ducting, find a straighter grill...it's never REALLY done is it? LOL
