Been cranking away on the interior. Tach dash, radio delete, pretty much all of the rest of the interior parts are out of the 70’ parts truck.

YBNORML · 04-12-2020, 09:27 PM

I ordered parchment replacement covers for my Buddy Buckets. But It’s been 7 weeks and still no idea when they’ll be in.

So I bought some spray dye for vinyl/fabrics. And I am pleasantly surprised with the results, it’s only temporary but it’ll do.

Couldn’t put purple seats in a yellow truck! It’s not the 90’s

Dye looks good though!

Just FYI I ordered my buddy covers from the same supplier in Aug and got them in late Dec. I’m not sure what the hold up was but he did tell me 6-8 weeks when I ordered.

I remember.
Last I talked to him, he had already expected them to be here. So he had no idea when they’d show.

Doors refurbished with a combination of good originals and a few aftermarket parts.

Also vacuumed about 5lbs of crap out of each door.

**72 tigger** · 04-16-2020, 06:08 AM

Nice work! Will be a dandy when you’re done

Karsen, my #1 helper, checking out drivers seat. Think she’s hinting?

YBNORML · 04-18-2020, 02:14 AM

Moved the truck over to the other side of the shop, had to snap a few pics while she was out in the sun.

I can’t wait to blend the rockers, add the rest of the trim and polish it, I think she’s really gonna pop.

Warrens69GMC · 04-19-2020, 09:45 PM

Nice work!!

I do think that is a (Huge) Hint.

I would suggest that you hide the keys

And have you thought about a Removable steering Wheel?

I am really diggin this build. Your cab turned out great!

cornerstone · 04-20-2020, 09:15 PM

I think Karsen is staking her claim on this truck by the grin shes wearing. I mean, who can blame her?!

STOCKISH · 04-21-2020, 09:38 AM

Great work man. Those bedsides look amazing!
