Wow, that's a lot of progress in a few days! That body is pretty gnarly man, are you doing the work yourself or paying for someone else to weld the panels in?

Also... why a 4" cowl hood on a 4.3? Seems pretty excessive, I'd have gone with a 2" one, unless there's a reason I don't see listed?

Haha progress is what im good at.....im a mechanic for Goodyear so i know what im doing. so yes im doing the work myself. my only worry is where im going to get the new panels. Ive searched all over the internet and i cant find them anywhere.

And the reason behind the 4" cowl hood....i had an 88 s15 pickup with a 350 bored over to a 383 and i had that hood on there....so i figured....waste not want not lol.

Ahhhh OK.

As far as the panels, check out lmctruck.com You should be able to get all of the body panels there.

Agreed, lmctruck.com will have panels for your truck.

i checked and they dont have them :icon_sad:

How hard did you look?

LMC Truck Parts - Page 47 rear 1/4 panel

LMC Truck Parts - Page 40 Fenders/doors/rockers

obviously not hard enough lol

apparently, haha.

Do yourself a favor and sign up for their catalogues. (or bookmark the site I suppose) very handy thing to have laying around when you've got a lot of work to do like you have.
