Mitch--the tk has some waves in the bodywork and i should of spent more time on stuff. I can live with it though. trust me on this, get a 3' sanding board and take your time. as Jim say's (Hugger) it's called bodywork for a reason.

I shot my new air cleaner with bed liner. looks much better. will see my seat guy Friday!!! if you don't here from me I might got a little carried away lol!

you guy's just get up to early---nothing special about the seat. It's hard to tell in the pic's but it''s darker than the interior gray paint, just enough to offset the colors.

question for you guy's--should i paint the inset in the doors (where the handles and arm rest are) the same as the dark paint on the dash?

will need to slide seat forward to in stall my seat belts. as far as s/belts go can you install the 3-point ones with the gas tank filler installed?

1963c-10--my back of the cab was pretty bad after blasting. with the bed liner it should out last me lol.

the long awaited seat pic's (he gave $40 off for taking so long)

Re: 61K10 build
 
Seat looks great. I'm no help on the 3 point belts...but there are a couple of good threads on them if you do a forum search. I think the door inserts done the same as the glovebox would look great!!!!

The back of my cab was nice condition wise....just can't ever get in there to wash it. Figured this would eliminate all maintenance on the back of the cab and forward bed panel.

Nice! I like it. Did you put the old burlap feed bag back under the foam?

61K10 10-01-2014 12:15 PM

Re: 61K10 build
 
Mitch--lol--I got a new chicken feed bag for the seat.

Did a little more--put the p/s fender on (the one that doesn't fit well) yes they are after-market. the driver's side fit like a glove, p/s i had to cut the rear attachment and weld it back together, and it still doesn't fit great. there are two different brands. I have 4 org to fix if i want (patch panels) I think I'm done for awhile lol! have to round up some guy's to put hood on OR?

argonaut 10-03-2014 09:15 PM

Re: 61K10 build
 
I've put a hood back on by myself more than once before. I wouldn't recommend it, especially if you dont want to scratch the shiny new paint!

Re: 61K10 build
 
Jason--I have done a few over the years but this one is heavy and awkward. you can't get a hold of it.

took my rear bumper off to finish welding and clean up. I added a receiver tube for a drop down. if i ever decide to tow something heavy it's long enough to tie it to the frame x member.

and of course my BULL horn. you need a horn it's the law lol! train horns are to $$$

won't let me up-load pics

Your truck is looking real nice and I really like the color combination. Where did you get the carpet?

Re: 61K10 build
 
Truck is looking real nice. Least the seat won't be to hot after the sun bakes on it for awhile. lol

thanks guy's--62 Barnfind(John) the carpet is from Brothers but was dropped shipped from the makers (don't remember the name) probably only a few makers that the venders buy from.

TJ--probably better than black--

pic's from yesterday--mounted my horn but can't get it to MOO!!--not grounding i guess.
