WOW thats one very nice nice nice truck i only wished mine look half as good as that keep it up and keep on comeing with the pics

Re: New Project truck!!
 

The seat supports came from Corbeau for $79 a pair. They also do slide as well. I plan to make some kind of wrap or something to go around the base of the seats to hide the ugly brackets.

I have been working on the truck a little more often lately. Got most of the interior back together. The gauge cluster turned out VERY nice. I put my new OEM carpet in which looks very nice also. I just wired up a keyless entry system with a starter kill. I learned a lttle bit about 5 wire reverse polarity door locks and dome light triggers to. Pretty easy overall. Gotta love the internet.

Re: New Project truck!!
 

Love to read about your work. Keep the updates coming!

Re: New Project truck!!
 

wow that interior is coming along nicely you must be getting pretty stoked to get her out this summer!

Re: New Project truck!!
 

Ok here is a very visually small update. I have the door panels getting some embroidery wor done. I installed a Belt harness bar which you can see in red behind the seats. I welded the bar into the cab corners as well as bolted it to the floor behind each seat. All I have left on the interior is the O **** handle on the PS and to get the dash bezel and door switchs painted. Thinking of a red for those as well. I also am going to have interior guy make some skirts for the bucket seats. I got the electric fans mounted up. I do have to take them back out though. It seems that the manufacturer Perma Cool put a oversized retainer clip on the fan blade. They had a recall on these. Anyhow here are a few pics for you guys. Sorry for the delay in updates.

So how is it going? How much trouble have you run into with switching the HVAC stuff? I have yet to start my 88 to 97 dash conversion.

Looks sweet, can't wait to see more. :metal:

Not a whole lot has been going on. My wife and I are getting a divorce so things have slowed way down. I have done very little to the truck but do plan on keeping it.

Re: New Project truck!!
 

Wow, sucks to hear about your wife and you... Hope you'll be happier at least afterwards... If you gotta go... Take the lift with you... hehe. Good luck with it and keep us updated on anything.

E...... Bummer man. Been there & it's a rough road. Hopefully things are civil & the 'damage' is minimal.

PM anytime if you need to vent.

Re: New Project truck!!
 

Thanks guys! I can replace material things for sure. The truck I will keep even if I have to pay her half of book which isnt much Im sure. So far she isnt being to civil at all. The lawyer has got into her head already! In the end I will be better off and happier without her.

Re: New Project truck!!
 

Sorry to hear the news. Been there, and hope it goes smoothly for you. We'll be here when you need us!

Re: New Project truck!!

It happens anytime a damn lawyer gets involved. Been there done that. She had the better lawyer. She had hers and mine. Hopefully everything will work out good for you. Mine got alimony and support. All I had left from a 40 hour work week was $40.00 take home. :whine: Glad to see your getting back on the truck!!! It does the mind good to occuppy it on something other than a divorce.
