Just read this thread with a big grin on my face.

Great build, and thanks for the progress photos.

Looking forward to your first "completed" drive and photos.

The truck is at the upholster, which he's doing a great job should have it back in the next few weeks. I'm working on the wood bought maple, a frieind he's a great wood worker and teaches a nite class at the local high school. So I decided to join the class to use the equipment and his skills (alot of fun). Got the boards roughed out and started making sample peices using walnut and purple heart as inlay's. I have a few more ideas to try out .

1enick72 · 02-24-2013, 10:02 PM

Your interior cam out great, it is similar to what I have drawn up for my own. Are the seats old buckets or something newer?

flashed · 02-24-2013, 10:04 PM

This is an impressive truck ,great build ,love the BuddyBuckets and door panels and everything else about this build .

greg65 · 02-24-2013, 10:08 PM

Amazing work and love the color choice.

66farmer · 02-25-2013, 12:37 AM

A friend of my did the work for me. He does excellent work and is a great creative thinker to come up with the great designs.

The seats are out of a '68, and are "buddy buckets".

All the panels are made out of ABS sheets and are secured by spring tabs so they are easy to remove.

Thanks for all your great compliments. Next will be to choose the wheels and tires.

**Captainfab** · 02-25-2013, 02:33 AM

Very nice interior work

Definitely show quality.......

Jmorales3181 · 02-25-2013, 07:29 AM

Wow that interior looks excellent will go with the rest of this top notch truck perfectly!

That whole interior is beautiful, very professional looking and some new ideas i've never seen before. I've been watching your build closely, that is going to be one sweet ride. Say...shouldn't a farm truck have a fuel tank in the box, some fenceposts, some bailer twine, and half a roll of barbed wire?

Did he make the armrest or is it out of something else recovered?
