I knew someone was gonna say that. I have a bigger air filter. Got it yesterday from a friend. I just threw that one on there to keep the crap out.

Thanks for the nice comments, all. I'll keep you guys posted as I progress.

Looking good. Is that the original interior color? If so man is that straight out of the 70's or what! I like it tho you don't see colors like that anymore.

That is the original color you see on the dash and firewall. The sticker says 'Lime Green'. I'm going to try to find a color close to that when I get it painted, whenever that may be. It's definitely a 70's truck!

Sweet! I was wondering how you were doing... the front looks great.
