Re: Project "Popeye"
Thats awesome, can't wait to see the final outcome. it will be great I bet. I luv getting a seat done just really sets the mood. just like the tires. I like stock seat look, but yeah they too bulky. I also like being able to move the seat on a glider and also folding it up. So for me I try and get 88' and up bench seats. but not always able to find them when you need one. I like your approach.

Re: Project "Popeye"
I don't know if the world is moving faster or I am slowing down, anyway the seat took awhile but it was worth the wait. I'm expecting door panels next week, then off to the shop for carpet and headliner. I'm going to change the seat belts to brown as well.

Re: Project "Popeye"
Hey ya'll, hard to believe it's been 8 years since I started this build. Still checking off a small list and removing the little "bugs" one at a time. He doesn't get driven enough but I'm working on that. I "finished" the interior more or less with matching door panels, white wolf speed shop headliner and a '66 C10 steering wheel that fits the column much better. It's not the color scheme I originally planned, but it has really grown on me. I also mini-tubbed and raised the bed floor for wheel and pumpkin clearance.
Popeye got plenty of attention this weekend at the Hotrod Holiday in Springfield, MO. Mostly people are surprised at the engine and interior, they seem to expect like many rusty trucks that it's just thrown together. I'm happy when they realize it's not just a pile of junk parts. I wish they could see the chassis too.

Re: Project "Popeye"
thats awesome, I was just thinking of this truck the other day. From about 8 or so years ago when I joined the thread. Not too many of that crowd seem to be on the thread too much. Always loved this truck. Interior looks great. I totally agree with wishing people can really take in the hours and money that go into these. They about poop their pants when you tell them the parts alone are 15-20k as opposed to the 5-8k they think is. The 60's wheels do look good in these trucks also! congrats.

Re: Project "Popeye"
Can you post some pics of the white wolf headliner? How was the install? Did you use his door cards too underneath your upholstery?
Truck is looking great. Want some whitewalls for mine too |

Re: Project "Popeye"
Truck looks awesome! I'm hoping to get my bed done along with a bunch of other things.
I hate to do the bad than the chassis wont been seen either. You did a great job on the truck, get out and drive it.

Re: Project "Popeye"
Thanks ya'll!
e015475 the white wolf headliner is leaps and bounds better than the reproduction cardboard. Final fit is very good, I did trim a tiny hair off one end of the "front" piece for ease of installation. By the nature of the abs material it takes a little persuading, especially in the front corners. I had a helper, that's going to be necessary. I didn't use his door panels, my interior guy made some off the cardboard pieces as templates. I will get some pics when I can, tried 3x but the light was never good enough. If you happen to need a 47 to late 49 headliner set I have an extra, there was a mix-up.
