Its funny you say that, but I was thinking a few weeks ago looking at your pics, that if it were mine, I repaint the lower white (maybe even with a satin finish paint to retain the patina look) and drive fool out of it. I can't wait so see it!

GRIMSS · 06-09-2008, 10:47 PM

Nice job, they look great.

Those are definitely going to "spruce" up the interior! Can't wait to see the truck done.

stllookn · 06-10-2008, 12:46 PM

HUSKER...installed ourselves but that was the easy part. Seat covers were made by Ricks Custom Upholstery in Columbia, TN. Great job at a great price ($265). I only had a couple of small issues that only I will probably notice.

tommyd241 · 06-10-2008, 12:59 PM

Very nice!

Jtrux · 06-10-2008, 06:17 PM
