I dont plan on pulling the cab off. I will do the best I can on the frame from underneath the truck. It is a Texas truck, so there is a lot of caked on dirt, but absolutely no rust to deal with.

I bought the seats and door panels on ebay for a great price. The problem is that the seat has new, extra padding. The steering wheel is NOT a tilt wheel. Needless to say there is a severe shortage of room between the seat the the steering wheel. Hard to believe a truck this big can have so little room inside!

I am bringing the truck to the exhaust shop this week. Any exhaust suggestions would be appreciated. It is a 402 BTW.

I also need rear shocks. Apparently they are different between a leaf spring rear (which I have) and a coil spring rear. Advice on those would be great, too.

Anyone ever seen a rear bumper like the one I show above? I have seen similar ones, but not with the tow hooks. Probably a dealer installed item??
