Re: My 1974 K5
I used a pressure washer on mine. It took several hours going stem to stern to get it all clean but it turned out nice.

Re: My 1974 K5
I am very interested in your take on the Raptor lining. Please take several pictures of the process and explain your experience. Also could you share how much of the truck you are going to apply the Raptor Lining to as well as how many bottles it will take? Truck is looking good so far.

Re: My 1974 K5
Nice work! The seats look great. Seems like tan will match most any outside color.

Re: My 1974 K5
Just to clarify are you going to have the truck Rhino lined or Raptor lined? Rhino being the professionally done job and Raptor being the more Do It Yourself job.
