Carpet done - seats ready to be bolted down
I got the carpet finished last night and am very pleased with it. Bolting down the shifter retainers helped get rid of a couple wrinkles. I still need to cut the kick panel vent holes and secure the panel that I made for the rear of the cab where the gas tank was.
It was late when I got done but I had to set the seats in before I called it quits. They can be bolted down next time I am out. ![]() ![]() ![]() You can hardly tell I have brackets under the carpet and insulation to assist with mounting these seats. ![]() ![]() Truck is getting awfully dusty - need to get it done! ![]()

Carpet is from Tim Christian - I haven't seen the bill yet but I believe it is around $120 but don't quote me on that.
I will have to pull the 4 speed shifter and put a slight bend in it. When in reverse it hits the middle seat. Can get in reverse but if there was a passenger you would have problems.

I think you will like the seats TP from Cntl PA but they do make the interior a bit more cramped.
Thanks for all the compliments - getting so close to being driveable and getting the interior about finished is a nice step forward. Never thought I would bother with carpet but it sure gives the cab a finished look. Now if I can just keep my muddy boots out of it.

Definitely a tighter fit. Here are a couple pics I took a while ago with me in the seat. I'm right at 6' - some one taller than that or with long legs will want to really give some thought to whether to change to this style of seat.

I hear voices in my head all the time asking "Why aren't you done yet?"
I laughed at myself when I was in the cab the night I got the seats in cause I was making vroom vroom noises when I was going through the gears. ![]()

Lookin' sharp. I caught my boy doin' the vroom, vroom thing last Saturday, but before the day was out, he was doing it for real, toolin' around the pasture!
![]() That color scheme looks better to me with each new pic, and the carpet and seat really work well. SSOW ![]()
