Thanks for all the comments guys. I have a lot of time into this truck. The writeup doesn't really cover the amount of work that went into it. I have a ton more pictures and I should probably post all the modifications/upgrades that were done.

The vintage air unit recirculates air from inside the cab. My fresh air vents on the kickpanels are useless now but I had modified them prior to paint so they will hold speakers someday.

The seat came out of a late 80s Ford. I had to build risers for it so it would sit the way I wanted it. I raised the front 1.75" and the back was lifted .25". I built brackets so I could use the stock seat mounts. Why hack up the floor anymore than it needs to right?

The truck was actually purchased in Longview. It had been sitting in a storage unit for many years. The truck was originally used in a peach orchard in eastern Washington.

I have taken it to a few shows now and won a best in show at one of them. I live out in Vail but I do occasionaly drive it into the downtown area.
