thanks all. Sicklajoie, if I close my eyes and imagine, my ol green truck looks as good as yours... BEFORE you started the restoration, ha. Not even. Yours started off med olive, didn't it? Yours takes the cake.

Thanks for the kind words all - they are works in progress. Collecting parts for the interior(s) and need to decide on old greenie. if I'm gonna keep it, I will probably stick my buckets/console in it - if I sell it, I will likely put the olive cust cloth seat cover on it and replace the carpet/dash pad with appropriate olive trim. The highlander needs some black carpet, a dash pad, and the seat cover. Tim's workin the cover for me, looking fwd to it! Greenie needs a new trans - the one that got swapped in by the po when it wouldn't go into gear to get back up on the trailer was a junkyard hack job trans - has a shift kit with a very high stall converter in it and drives like a drag car. Really dumb. Anyway, tbd if will stab a TH350 in it or, if I keep it, put in a 2004R or TH350+GV o/u. Many moons, and many $ away yet....
