ksbeatty · 03-05-2010, 11:29 PM

Just a couple of pictures on a nice day.

**88JRFAN** · 03-06-2010, 01:45 AM

Looking real good!!!

**Dieselwrencher** · 07-19-2010, 11:16 PM

Very nice truck! Have you been out enjoying it lately? How about those pics of the seat? It looks very nice in that last pic.

ksbeatty · 07-20-2010, 12:17 PM

Here is a picture of the seat. I found the original fabric and vinyl and a shop in Wichita did the work for me. I guess he found the fabric...

I have had a ton of compliments on it and I love it too. It makes the truck. I have had it out here and there but I need to get the A/C charged and a few other bugs worked out before I start using it all the time.

Golevi · 07-20-2010, 01:04 PM

Great write-up! I have enjoyed seeing your progress through the build and am dreaming of doing the same...

So, how much did the sound proofing help? Did you put it up the back and headliner as well? How about the doors?

Thanks...

Kraig

ksbeatty · 07-20-2010, 01:39 PM

Due to the cost I have not done behind the seat or on the doors yet. I plan to in the future. Just the floor cost around $180 I think. As far as sound proofing and getting rid of the rattles it is great. Like I said I want to finish the rest later.

**Dieselwrencher** · 07-20-2010, 02:44 PM

Do you have any plans of bringing this truck to the All trucks Nationals in KC in September?

ksbeatty · 07-20-2010, 04:29 PM

I hadn't. But, I am always up for a trip.

**Dieselwrencher** · 07-20-2010, 07:16 PM

Here is a good thread on it.

ksbeatty · 07-21-2010, 11:14 PM

Tail light issue check
Headlight issue check
New U-joint no bueno
almost everything
I need to make a list of the little things.
Are you ever really done?

**Dieselwrencher** · 07-22-2010, 12:14 AM

Last one, no!

ksbeatty · 04-24-2012, 09:57 PM

So, I have not done anything on my truck in a while and I have just drove it. I know, I know that sucks right. Well I have a few bugs to work out and I had a regulator shoot craps on me. So I have always wanted to do power windows and remote entry. I ordered the power window kit and remote entry from A1electric. It will be here by the end of the week. I have an oil leak I can't track down which pisses me off to no ends and I am going to track it down soon before I blow a "gasket". I will post an update on the power stuff soon I hope

**Dieselwrencher** · 04-25-2012, 07:45 PM

Where are some updated pictures?

ksbeatty · 04-26-2012, 10:25 AM

I will see about updating pictures this weekend. I should have the window kit in by the end of the weekend and if so I will include those too.

ksbeatty · 03-05-2013, 11:51 AM

So I thought I would take a look at this old page and figured out that it has been a year since I really have done anything. I still have to put in my electric windows. I stopped sionce I was having some trouble and life caught up or snuck in. Windows, A/C charged, relocated gas tank and then I need a road trip. Somewhere the wife and I can go to get away...

**Dieselwrencher** · 03-05-2013, 06:32 PM

Sounds like you're getting really close on it.
