    Very well done. You should have no trouble getting this done.
    Does Pete export factory built Rh drives down to you folks anymore? My ‘67 351 unilite cab has all the provisions built in for a conversion. The most noticeable one is the two pre drilled plugged holes on the rh top of the dash for the two Trico air wiper control valves. Ours are in same place but on left.

    blew up your pic.
    I love that vintage authentic green colored etching primer Pete used during the early years. That stuff outlasts the paint. Wuen you find that stuff on a chassis you know its authentic Pete parts. Lol.
