    Sweet build you have serious skills.

    I would do it the same, I reckon.

      It fits really well but color is off and I figure if I am this far in might us well do it right.

                        It's definitely a job.

                        When are you coming out again? Did the care package make it back with you?

                              take the bezel and have it water dipped in something cool.... I had a 3/4 77 model longbed... I took it over when it had 87k showing BUT speedo cable had been broke for several years probably had 200k on it! I'm sure you can find replacement carpets etc at JC whitneys or other sources.. good project. I missed one at a farm auction many years ago that had been on blocks in a barn that had less then 1000 miles on it... still wished dad would have bought it.
