You might not believe it but I never took any pictures before or during the build. I have a short bed 4X4 '69 (you can see it in the back ground of the first pic) that my son and I are going to do next. I plan start a build thread when we get rolling on it.

BarryB · 06-08-2009, 10:10 PM

Nice truck, I like the black with the red interior. .

CG · 06-08-2009, 11:23 PM

Love black trucks with red interiors. Who did you get your interior parts from and do all the reds match? Sure looks like it in the pics.

**yote1234** · 06-09-2009, 12:03 AM

very....kool...

Midlothian Electric · 06-09-2009, 12:18 AM

subtle71 · 06-09-2009, 01:14 AM

Congrats on that gorgeous looking truck! Well worth the time invested in it. I have a 71 Deluxe lwb fleetside that I am trying to wrap up. Waiting for original seat cloth material to arrive from SMS Auto Fabrics since February. I can only hope mine turns out as well as yours! Well done!! Not trying to hijack your thread.

Yes, the color of the interior pieces match pretty well. I got everything but the carpet from Athey's Classic Truck Parts in Front Royal, VA. His web site is http://s-c-t-p.com/ . His place is only about 45 minutes from where I live so it was very convenient for me to drive to and Bill is great to deal with. You may not be able to tell from the pics but the carpet is a little darker than I wanted. My mistake was I ordered the carpet from ACC long before I got the rest of the interior. The sun visors are original.
