I put the seat and door panels back in the truck. I kept the original vinyl on the seat and sewed in new plaid from SMS. While it was apart we added a little new foam to the sagging ends. It sits like a new seat. Also re dyed the door panels.

Had new door panels made for it along with the vent window delete which is a very rare opition on these trucks! It's almost as rare as the corvette engine mod. I bought a clear shower curtain and put it on the door behind the new panel to keep the moisture out. I hope it works. :chevy:

I cracked open the rear end to drop in some ECE 5 lug axles in my 67. Her shoes are finally going to match. I also confirmed that I had 3.73 gears with posi. Yeah buddy.

Patched the speaker holes from the PO behind the seat. Still have holes in the doors to do. Must have been an awesome system, Kraco cassette player and 4 Kraco speakers!

I completed a little dash upgrade project, painted the plastic hugger orange to match the dash and converted the gauges to white face. I paneled the gauge pod with a 1/8" thick piece of zebra wood. I am happy with the result, will eventually make a zebra wood panel for the glove box door.

Got frustrated putting in my signal switch and after all the hard work brake lights still not working. Discovered po jacked up wiring under the dash. What the heck do they be thinking? Leave the original stuff alone. Hopefully I don't have to spend too much time tracing the problems. Sometimes things like this make you want to throw in the towel. Lol

Installing the electric cruise control! Got most of it done but have to pull the PCM out for the last wire. VSS signal wire is all that is left and the turn signal lever.:chevy:

Beautiful piece of white oak you have there, and a nice stain choice to. I'd like to make a varnish suggestion. I restore mahogany boats for a living. Petit Captains varnish is a traditional phenolic varnish that provides a nice Amber hue and UV protection. About 10-12 coats would have wood looking fantastic. We have experimented with automotive clear on wood and has worked pretty well so far (it's only been on the boat for a year) but it's clear and doesn't give that deep rich luster. I'd love to see your floor when it's done.
