This is the same color mine was OEM, can you take a picture of the inside of the door that shows where you broke the interior color from the exterior color?

Thanks, It does. So the part of the door that would be inside the door jamb area is all the Fawn interior color, correct?

Dave...Really looking nice. Your ahead of me with that cab back on. You wouldn't remember how much you shortened the original steering shaft to hook that new ps rag joint? Thanks, Mark

yes, I followed "theastronaut" build thread and he shortened his 3 1/2" I went with 3 1/4" that gave a little gap between the dash and steering column collar. not so tight. but its not only the steering shaft you shorten but the sleeve and tube as well. well worth the 2-3 hours it takes!

Took a trip down south yesterday and met up with yote1234 (aka Coyote Dave) and checked out ole Blue. Wow! what a sweet truck this is going to be when finished. Shot the breeze with Dave for over an hour inside his Man Cave as we talked about the build of ole Blue. What a great guy Dave is! He shared his experience with the build so far and I got a lot of good advise on the do's and don'ts of the up and coming build of my 66 Crew Cab. He also showed me a couple cool classic Chevy muscle cars that also take up residency in the Man Cave. Dave also gave me some extra upholstery material that he had left over from the seat for ole Blue. I had a great time visiting with Dave and hope to see him at some truck shows in the near future.

No pics of the finished product?
