Herewith a few pics (not my best) showing the truck with OEM steel wheels (16" x 5J, 5 lug), with 235/85/16 tyres.

Two poorly pics of the new dash with VDO instruments. I'll try again in daylight.

Next is seat belts. Never thought I would feel so unsafe driving without them....

I really hope the shoulder bracket mounts will be found behind the roof lining (which extends down the pillers).

Thanks for the pics. Looking good!

Next on the list:
1) Install adjustable brake balancer (too much braking to the rear wheels)
2) Fit stepside bin. Current condition of the bin below.
