New Pics... new stuff to work on (seats!)

Here's some pics of the truck after getting a set of chrome smoothies from a fellow member (thx Soba!!), and trading the buckets out of my truck for the bench out from a local guy's '60.

First the new kicks, and a peek at new the exhaust dumping under the step (yes... the oil pan leaks, it's on my to-do list):


One with my rocket sled reflected...


When I get my basement finished, I'll finally install the 3/5 drop suspension that I have in boxes. I figure the truck will look about right. I'm also ISO decent chrome bumpers.

Something's missing here!


Old Busted... really not in bad shape, just due for a rebuild:


Hint of what's to come - new custom cover from www.automotiveinteriors.com


I plan on stripping the seat frame down, repainting it, re-doing the foam and all so that the seat feels brand new. I need to get three seatbelts, if I can find a matching red. Black is my second choice. The truck currently has FORD seatbelts, what the heck?

I'm also going to finish what I started when I began applying sound deadening sheets to the inside of the cab. Plus, the dash needs attention, but that'll be a later project.

I'm digging the red with white cap and the chrome reverse and baby moons. I also like the stock stance. I can't wait to see the finished product...keep up the good work.

Thx for the reply. It'll be an occasional driver, but never perfect.

I feel the same about my truck. I also got my seat cover from automotiveinteriors.com . You picked a nice color combo Props!

You should get a drip pan covered with kitty litter under that engine 'til you get that leak fixed.

DANG!!!!!!! that looks great. I agree with you, Chrome bumpers, get rid of that THING on the rear and replace it with a nice chrome bumper, maybe a grille... Looks great... I too dig the barbed wire stripe....

I personally like the stock stance... But it's your truck.... Keep us posted on the progress...

Re: New Pics... new stuff to work on (seats!)

Thank you for the comments guys. It's coming along, slowly.

Here's more after I got the seat 'installed.' I need to bolt the seat down, but Mrs. J and I went for a ride in it last night, her first time EVER in the truck. It was very cool, to say the least.
