1962

Just about done with the project. I will order the oak wood and polished Stainless for the bed and the truck is done. The interior turned out very well and the engine compartment is nice and clean. The final stage being the bed side walls needed a lot of work to get straight. I have put the rear tailights in and am wiring up the lights.

Beautiful. Love the colour and particularly that you didn't paint the interior body colour. Very nice in every respect. Thanks for sharing.

Re: 1962

I found an old seat from a 1965 and stripped it to the frame and spring. I had it sandblasted and powder coated black and then recovered with new foam and a european leather.

Re: 1962

Everything is ready in the bed area and will be deciding just which gas cap and filler to use for the new rear gas tank. I changed all the airbag fittings to new brass fittings and they do not leak at all.
