weve not decided yet, we want to wait til we get the truck home first to see what will suit,light or dark....
also i am not really sure what ready made kits the UK suppliers have in stock..

We wont rush it, we just want the truck home first to just get in and drive

F Y I, check out, Bed Wood Selector
Look locally for wood and have cut to fit, stain to lickling

The visualizer is a good tool to check out how the wood looks with paint colors

Many thanks Guys for taking the time to add the info...greatly appreciated..


I priced up my full wood kit yesterday from a UK supplier....for the wood stainless bolt kit and stainless strips it would cost me $1087.05 (approx) without shipping....

I am not sure yet on if this is a good price or not as i haven't checked out prices on the U.S websites....

My friend that is painting the truck is checking out to see if anyone near him can mebbe sort something out for me...ie making the strips up for me...


My other option is to find a supplier in the U.S and order with them and have it shipped to Cailfornia where the fella i bought the truck from has a unit and then have him bring it into the UK for me in his container.......if i do that i will wait until ive bought the power/disc upgrade kit and the power steering kit and do it all in one go.....

One way or the other we will get it sorted...

boltdepot.com you can buy boxes of 100 a lot cheaper than the correct number in the bed bolt kits

And todays money shot..........the newly re-trimmed and and worked seat done by Scott "donnyburger" @ AS Mitchell Upholstery, fitted into the truck for the first time....

I wont be carpeting until i get the truck home....but loved the way that seat looks.....and it is well comfy to sit on

[IMG][/IMG]


it shows how dirty the rear screen must have been cos i totally missed the "etchings"..........


i am not sure if i likey or not.....i will wait until i collect the truck in a couple of weeks and see it for real....

for now i will say it is all part of the trucks history...so i shall see....
