The seats/console are stock from a 72 pick-up per the seller. Found them on EBAY for $ 295. Shipping cost from California was more than the seats.

Gabriel & Sons out of San Marcos Texas did the interior for me. Red leather on the seats, console and dash pad. Red Vinyl on the headliner and other areas.We moved the gas tank to the rear of the truck so we were able to shift the seats back a couple of inches for more room.

I bought the tilt column and gauges from Kenny's Truck in Oklahoma.

Steering wheel is a Billet's. Gabriel's wrapped it in leather.

Truck is very quick. It will get loose in hurry. After we tuned the LS2 it runs out as good as I would expect. My only comment is " It's still at 72 pick-up frame and suspension " It rides just like the run I had in high school.

Great looking build!

Any more pics of the before? Looks like it was a solid original paint truck at one time.

That's the only picture I have of the the truck before we started the build. I sold my other 72 ( I long bed - cheyenne - original with 78000 miles ) on a Friday and bought this truck on Saturday. We pulled it out of the weeds 3 miles from my house. 4 days later we had the frame sand blasted and primed.

The truck was in pretty bad shape as the the floor had to be completely replaced after we had the truck acid dipped. I had Kenny's in Oklahoma send the parts and all in all the new sheet metal fit pretty good.

I've already got another project planned. This time we are doing a 4x4.
