Got some parts in today. Parchment door panel skins and armrests with new handles and upper chrome trim. Also the sill plates, headliner trim, and wiper refills. When my seat cover gets here this should pretty much finish the interior. Then just bumpers, grill, and tires. The back wheels should be here pretty quick from Coys...lol. We'll see how long that actually takes. I ordered the billet door for the fuel fill a day or two ago. Can't decide on a black liner or color matched. Im thinking color matched since the truck is low and easy to see over in to. We'll see when the time comes.

LOL I'm going to be doing that once, I have to drive it across town to my welder so he can do several welding jobs one of which is in the lower pinch weld between the dash and windshield support so I won't have a windshield in it for that trip, but by law you don't have to have a windshield, so other than being really windy it's perfectly fine as long as it's warm outside haha!

It's always like Christmas when the parts show up.

Where did you get the door panels?

Looks like you have a few things to do over the weekend. Do you have your glass in yet?

I was going to do a color matched bed liner on Tom, but because of time constraints I had to do black, and it turned out so good I'm glad it went that way. It offers a good contrast to the red and it covers dings pretty good.

Wow that white parchment looks really really good. I'd go color match as well because you aren't so solid with your color on the exterior so it won't be overbearing to do a blue bed liner but that's just my opinion

Got one of the door panels done... Im no upholstery expert but it was pretty simple. One thing though, I cant remember what goes behind the door handle and window crank. Seems like there was a washer or a plastic disc or something

Xeen · 04-14-2013, 09:09 PM

It would make sense that there would be an anti abrasion plastic shield disk behind the cranks to keep it from rubbing the vinyl but I don't know if there was one or not.

Tx Firefighter · 04-14-2013, 09:14 PM

You need escutcheons under the handle to protect the panel.

Here's a link to what you need: Link

You'll want to spray them with SEM first, of course.

hfd410 · 04-14-2013, 11:50 PM

Thanks TxFF and Zoomin, been 7 years since I took her apart. The eschtueons are long gone I guess. I bagged and labeled everything then. I guess they didnt make it....

I never would have gone parchment but it came out great. I dig it.

1967wannabe · 04-15-2013, 10:42 AM

FWIW, the eschtueons are still available through GM. I just got a set from Lonestar Chevrolet.

**67cheby** · 04-15-2013, 10:48 AM

interior is looking sharp !

builtbyKane · 04-15-2013, 09:59 PM

very nice work.

hfd410 · 04-16-2013, 04:57 PM

Thanks for everyones comments. Its really coming together. Im working on the billet fuel door in the bed floor now. Waiting on several things still like rear wheels, seat cover, and passenger glass. Those things are ordered and coming. Im gonna go with a 255/45/20 and a 295/40/20 on the Coys. I got the radiator back today and put it and the new fan shroud in. That 72 that I parted had a nice 3 core HD radiator in it so I took it and had it cleaned and rodded. Came out like new...

Still need to find some front and rear sport bumpers and an outer grill shell around here somewhere to avoid crazy shipping charges. Thanks again for everyones nice comments. I can see the end of the road from here...

calvin78612 · 04-16-2013, 08:37 PM

Have you tried Southwestern Classics in Arlington ?

hfd410 · 04-16-2013, 08:42 PM

I got the billet fuel door roughed in. At least I didnt cut the hole to big because the flange that it sits on is about 1/4" all the way around. Still need to mount it permanant and fill in the low spot but it shouldnt be bad. I have a plasma cutter and mig welder so I can cut some pieces to fill the spots and slope up to it. Then I will have the color matched liner sprayed in.

Thats a good looking fuel door, I am still contemplating whether I'm going to get the square, rectangle, or round one myself.

hfd410 · 04-18-2013, 10:26 PM

I considered the oval one but thought that the rectangle would be easier to fill in the low spots...Screamin did a very nice job on his in that black truck.

Tx Firefighter · 04-16-2013, 08:46 PM

I wish I'd have known you needed parts. Valerie and I went by Kenny's Trucks on our way to Tulsa last Friday. I could have brought back whatever you need to save shipping.

hfd410 · 04-16-2013, 08:50 PM

those guys in Arlington are pretty reasonable on stuff. I just need front and rear sport bumpers and an outer grill shell. Mine is okay, I may just have it professionally polished. I already removed the anodize and sanded out the gouges. Anybody know a good metal polisher in DFW? Or should I just get a new one...?

**screaminchevypickup** · 04-16-2013, 10:22 PM

Gas door looks good

hfd410 · 04-17-2013, 09:10 AM

I looked at several different doors but not alot to choose from that fit the bed grooves like this one, at least that I could find. I took your advice and went ahead and got this one...
Posted via Mobile Device

NewType72 · 04-18-2013, 01:44 AM

it really looks great and I agree it fits the bed lines very well

Xeen · 04-20-2013, 05:47 PM

LMC sells a Blue 3-point retractable seatbelt that might be alot closer to the color of blue you are looking for, page 111 of their online catalog, part #38-2249-LL, or you could always go gray or black.

hfd410 · 04-21-2013, 06:13 PM

Thanks Xeen. I contacted the place where I got em and they are willing to make up a new set for only the cost of shipping. They are gonna send me some color samples to pick from first. They are really nice belts. The blue that I got looks right until it gets against the blue in the truck and it kind of makes em look purple.
