getting somewhere on my truck...
This was a good weekend for me truck wise.
First, I was able to finally pick up my freshly painted (jammed for now) doors, fenders, inner fenders, hood, and core support pieces from my painter. Once I get my engine back in, I will be able to hang these pieces on the front and get it looking like a truck again. ![]() ![]()

Second, I picked up a set of pickup truck bucket seats and console from Eric (too much stuff). These are complete with the exception of the two floor tabs...which Joe (Elgracho) is helping me on. I actually had to drive 150 miles each way to get these..did it today...got up at 5:30 AM, but the trip was fun, Eric is a cool guy, and I got what I wanted.
These seats will be replacing my 40/20/40 seat I currently have...which will be for sale very soon. ![]()

Ken, thanks!
The interior will be tan. I already have the dash pad dyed and installed...and the rest of the panels (minus the door panels) have already been dyed as well. I am thinking the seats will be recovered in a different shade of tan...but would be open to hearing any suggestions...hint hint. ![]() The rear cab panel will be upholstered in the same color as the carpet...and so will the headliner. But like I said, I like hearing other people opinions...because there are quite a few good ones out there. ![]()

Hey your trucks looking great. I really like that color. Are you going to keep the buckets saddle color with the yellow paint? I think that would be a sharp combination.

Lookin' good my friend. I love the attention to detail. We all know it's in the details. I can't wait to see it finished. I bet you can't either.
