mrbigtanker Posted October 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2012 How's your dash pad? Its all re rapped in leather.Thats just a dash cover i had made years ago.If you look close i got the red hazard knob locking glove box.All the inside is new except the headliner.And that is in perfect shape still thinking of bucket seats but will see.

mrbigtanker Posted October 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2012 will do Quote Link to comment
Phixius Posted October 19, 2012 Report Share Posted October 19, 2012 And the bed skirt drop....please..... Do you always rock the carpet over a recoverd dash? I think no cover would look much better... Whats the big deal about the red 520 hazard light? Ive got one... ill trade someone for a metal 520 parcel tray... Quote Link to comment
mrbigtanker Posted October 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2012 First off the dash cover is cloth not carpet and i agree but with not having it on but i leave it on because the truck parks outside so its there for protection.The red knob is not that big of deal but they are hard to come by and i will post pictures of the bed when its done,its just going to be metal work that im going to leave until time for body work and paint.And then the coil overs are going on,now im thinking of 4 linking it and running 10" wheels out back,call me crazy but im crazy.

wayno Posted October 20, 2012 Report Share Posted October 20, 2012 It looks good, I am happy to see the rear skirt was also ajusted to look proper, this is what the factory should have done in the first place. Until you get ready to paint it, just smooth it out, prime it, and go to the paint store and have them match the color in a rattle can and paint it the same color as the rest of the truck, you will be much happier till paint day comes, unless paint day is coming soon.
