You have transformed your truck in to an amazing looking CC that I would love to own. The color combo is killer, and the round eye front end along with the rounded line trim sets this build apart.

Thanks for sharing your build and thinking "outside" the box. (bad pun intended)
Wow, that means alot coming from you. I love your truck one of the nicest on here.....or anywhere for that matter.

Thanks!!

Re: crew cab short bed build " clifford"

Its my pleasure to pass along compliments where they are truly deserved. I really thought you had me hooked with the light color interior swap. The change to black popped my lust bubble, but it still looks great.

Please post more pics for us to enjoy...

Re: crew cab short bed build " clifford"

I was cruising through the swap meet at Good Guys at Fort Worth a couple of weekends ago and found a really nice grille for a 73.....cheap.

That will be my next project after i find a hood latch support to go with it.

I really love that style grille.

Thanks

I have just started driving it as my daily again.
I finally got around to installing my electric cooling fan setup and wired through the ecm. What a difference that made. I hooked one side of the fans up to the a/c, so it runs when the compressor is on. It really helps the a/c get cold at lower speeds.
I am searching for some different seats right now to, I'm not happy with whats in it or the way they look.

Are they not comfortable now, or do you want something with a lower back?

Not really that comfortable and I want something that has a lower back and isn't so square looking.

Re: crew cab short bed build " clifford"

New front seats in. I still need to find a matching rear seat. I am going to build a custom center console also.

Re: crew cab short bed build " clifford"

They would probably be 90-94. The 88-89 had the low back seats, and the seats got a redesign when the interior did in '95.

They were from a 93 truck. I need a rear to match now.

If you can find an 89-91 Suburban with a bench seat, the seat cover would be a match. That's the only thing that comes to mind.

I was thinking of a rear crew cab seat from 92-95 is what I need. I guess a suburban front bench would work though.
