Parts ordered so far include all new sheet metal except for the top and back of the cab, new front end components, 2.5″ drop spindles, lower springs, shocks, four row radiator and radiator support, tilt steering column, dash panel, bed floor components, and more.

Flexible split loom wire wraps keep things much tidier.
