You are getting close on the interior

As always its three steps forward and two steps back. I held the original lower panels up to the door last night and decided they had to go. I will be order a set that actually matches the carpet kit.


Since I finally had the majority of the interior back together with the new Precision Replacement Parts seals and vents I wanted to test out the quietness of the cab to see how much of an improvement the Silent Coat deadner had provided. I rolled up the windows and shut the doors tight. They had a nice solid thud when slammed shut with no rattles. I started the motor and let it settle to an idle. I revved it a few times and could definitely notice a big reduction in the exhaust sound.

Pleased with the results I decided to call it a night. I reached for the shiny new door handle and gave it a pull. The smooth as silk action resulted in nothing. Apparently I knocked the rod off of the door handle mechanism and now I get to take the door panel off once more. Despite that, I still love the results of our interior rebuild.
