Marv, like your shifter. Who's model is it, and do you like it? I'll be running an AOD also, and am looking for recommendations.
Thanks, Ralph

Check out my build thread. Marv's looks similar to mine.
Yes It’s a Lokar LOK-ATS6AODBN 16 inch.

Dash cut and mounted with gauge cluster. Need to run a/c ducts, defroster and figure out where I want the controls, ignition switch and H/L switch.

Hmm, Does it help much to have the truck upside down?
Working on doors, hood running boards and fenders, need the running board brackets.
Don’t know why they load upside down, I’m not in Australia LOL

Hey, can you send me a picture of the hinges on the inside of the body? I'm struggling with mine. I really appreciate it.
Hope these help

I also found I had to trim the area shown on page 328-9 in the manual to the forward edge of the stepped area. You will be able to tell if you need to trim more by looking at how the hinge is laying against the body bracket it should be flat. Also on page 320 watch how much you trim as one of my lower hinge areas was not flat (90 degree) to the outer door skin and the female part of the hinge got to deep and I had to shim and fill the area some. Hope this makes since. Don’t forget the threaded holes take a 3/8 inch bolt.

Perfect. Thank you. I'll take a look tonight and I have some time over the next weekend to make progress. Thank you again
Finished mounting running boards and fenders. Next hood hinges and modify trans tunnel for a little more foot room.
By the way the ride height for a truck with fenders is 5 1/2 frt and 6 in the rear

So now I’m being told the fuel filler hose and gas cap are not part of the kit, really? WTF is up with this company?

What? I am hoping you are mistaken. Some have them. I am not getting that comfortable feeling. Does that apply to all the other parts we have not gotten?

Update, E mailed Tony and they are included of course. Seems like I should only communicate with Tony.
