The seat and door inserts look really nice, it will set your truck apart from the average truck.

The interior upholstery is gonna look very nice! The saddle and houndstooth look very nice together! Did I just read correctly? You were out buying brake parts? Are you sticking with the front drums for now? I was bummed about not making the deadline so I can only image how you felt. I'm still in the game with you to get this thing up and running. Let me know when you are ready to drop the front clip on it so we can dump a battery in it and se what works and what doesn't.

Thanks! At first I was going all saddle with scroll but he talked me into the houndstooth....super glad he did and then I added the lower panels. With the solid saddle headliner, door panels, visors, and dash pad...it needed the houndstooth to break it up.

I decided not to put the money in drums....going disc for sure in the near future but that also means I need to go ahead and bite the bullet and go 5 lug....think I will go with rally wheels until I can afford 20's or find a killer deal...
I'm up to do the front clip any night next week....still want to get this on the road asap. Probably will use the brake parts off my other frame for now since those rubber lines look better and they have new wheel cylinders. So probably will swap complete from spindles over....

Yes, looks and fits original. My original seat foam was nice. My back foam was gone behind the driver....my upholstery guy put new foam and vinyl backing in...I'll take pictures of the back at some point.

I used a nice original bezel instead of new because I felt a new chrome and black would look out of place....especially compared to the glovebox door...

was surprized no to see any comments on yesterday's affair and evening out. I lived less than 1/4 mile from where you went last night that has been 1 hot spot for hot rods.
