That looks really good!! I considered that Kugel setup on my 'ol Ford but decided not towhen eyeballing the A/C case fit. I just kept it under the floor where Henry Ford hid it. Your truck is REALLY coming out NICE!

Looks great. I have a sneaky feeling that truck might end up in some magazines when it's all done (assuming you wanted it to). Great work!

Its not a bolt in deal but it will work in most vehicles if you have room under the dash. I dont know if you are a member of s10forum.com but I think I saw a few guys that had done this also.

Yea im 21 now, been working on this truck for 3 years now and ive done most everything myself, from the designing, fabbing, welding and bodywork. I have to give my dad credit for doing the final painting on the firewall though. Hes been a bodyman for like 30 years and I wanted that firewall to look perfect!
