Did you buy that seat cover pre-made (form what source?) or was that done by an upholsterer? I really like the fabric, it looks so era-correct.

How about some details on how you built that speaker box, photos if you have them. I assume it's just sitting there? No need to bolt it down, or anything?
Hey Dan
The wires actually go up to my third brake light. Made the bracket out of an old aluminum STOP sign and then buffed, polished, and lacquered it.
Seat cover was pre-made from CARSINC.com, it's their Cameo cover. The Upholsterer showed me how to do it and left me to my own devices.
No pics of the speaker box being made. I built the whole thing out of flat cardboard sheet stock and then took the templates and cut all pieces from 3/4" MDF. The box is actually 3 boxes bolted internally together. Had to do it this way in order to get them to fit in the truck. And yes, it is through bolted through the sheet metal of the floor of the truck. That sucker is not going anywhere.
