BTW the truck turned out really nice.

THanks Alan, If you can't rotate your compressor for some reason, You can buy the metal hose fittings that will bring them over down the side of the compressor. If you look at my compressor I have the fittings that bring the hose connections down, They have two types, One for the top of the comp, one for the side fittings like mine. the drier, I used a muffler clamp, the nuts are under the carpet & padding, You can't see or even feel them. hope this helps...

Thanks CRGRS, the dash extention & the console turned out just how I wanted them too. I'm happy with the whole outcome of the truck, even though it went way overboard from what it was going to be...

The plan was to cover the whole door with upholstery some day. I thought until then I could make a little panel to brake up all the orange. and now that I did, I sorta like it this way, I may just keep it this way.

I made up some side kick panels and covered them with vinyl. I wanted to try the vents for now, most of the year we have nice weather.. If I end up not useing them I'll take them out and make new panels.

Can see finished panel. cleans it up a bit...

So we decided to go to plan "b". My brother had a tail gate skin he did'nt use on his trk, so I snagged it and made my own out of the two I had, plus the latches from the 73 doner trk.

I love your build thread, full of ideas. What was the tailgate skin for originally? I too am building a custom tailgate and I was wondering about a skin

looks killer

Boy, I need to look at the projects and builds more often, this truck is magnificent!!! This has my vote! Twice!

[CRGRS 66]

I think I commented on your interior before, so forgive me for repeating how truly spectacular your interior looks, work truck my a$$

[notsolo]

This Truck is Awesome, Dad's and Brothers trucks are in the same class. Hard to say this is just a work truck since we don't know where you work. My guess is at the museum of Bad-a$$ vintage show trucks...... Sport trucks had this article about painting chrome, I hope to try it ....http://www.sporttruck.com/techarticl...0_chrome_paint

I used the fiber board visors and had them and the headliner done by a pro. I knew not to even try to do them..

oh this is funny s--t, sure if you like the oven feel, you will be using A/C those vents won't be open.

I made up some side kick panels and covered them with vinyl. I wanted to try the vents for now, most of the year we have nice weather.. If I end up not useing them I'll take them out and make new panels.

It's "JUST A WORK TRUCK"?!?!?!?!!? That is the Sweeetest work truck I have ever seen. Just got started on my truck and I hope it is half the truck you have there.

Love all the interior details. Do you know what they used for the backer on the headliner? And do you know how they attached it to the roof? The whole truck is just exquisite!

[63MOUSE]

hot rod interiors did the headliner, he used a thin backer board with 3m vinyl car top adhesive
