Looking good Walt. Depending on how far weathered you are planning, I could take some pics of my grandpa's '86 Chevy.

Only suggestion I have right now Walt is fill in the cab corners at the bottom with a piece of styrene.

Walt,
I have a couple of those under construction and they build up nice. Those blocks you added and have circled on the instructions are for the lifted version of that truck. If you omit those blocks, you will have a stock height truck but if you are using the kit tires, those blocks are necessary.
Keep posting, maybe I will get motivated to finish mine!

Ok well progress has been a little slow as I have been trying to learn how to use the rusting solution, but got the cab corners done and engine almost done
Had to pin the exhaust so they would mate up better
Tailgate is all fitted

Well here is a quick update I got the chassiss all done the pinstrip on with a little cleanup to do and the dash all done in leather and wood inlay painted along with the seats and console and still working on the bucket.
Almost forgot the master cylinder lines ran.
