It's been a REALLY long time since I've posted up some new pics of my progress. Been busy at work, finishing up stuff on the stepside, spending time with the wife, and working on my stepdads 31 Ford coupe. I'll post more when I have a chance, but for now, ENJOY!!!!

Wow, very nice.

Nice. I like the "super" glovebox door with the 67 emblem.

BB72CHEVKT · 11-19-2009, 10:02 PM

Nice. I just picked up a pair about a month or so ago. I hope they look that good when done.

At the bottom of your back window is that a hidden antena? If it is how well does it work?

john02fxdl · 11-19-2009, 11:17 PM

Thanks guys for the kind words. It's not exactly "original", but it is exactly how I wanted the interior to look. The hidden antenna works pretty well if you have strong FM stations in the area( I live outside Philadelphia) but I did notice it fade in and out a couple of times. Small price to pay imo if you want the clean look outside the truck.

Found a couple more pics of the stepper. Enjoy these too!!

Looks good, I like the GM heater hoses with the squeeze clamps, nice touch.

Nice! I've wanted a set in my '70 since the first time I saw some done in houndstooth.

Love the buckets. Mine are at the upholstery shop now, can't wait to get them back.
