All you need now is a bit of shag carpet and a moon roof.

[Sublime27]

lol yea still looking for someone to redo the bench seat for me i want black so the blanket is what i got right now.  then im gonna do the carpet soon that will be black as well.

[Sublime27]

also wondering what your guys opinions are on cutting the bump stops? im riding on them currently an its not to bad to be honest but ill be getting new tires eventually an will go a bit smaller in the front tires as well. has fairly new shocks all the way around as well.

[Stoffregen Motorsports]

I'd rather have cut bumpstops than no bump stops or riding on the bumpstops. I think most guys cut them in half.

 

There are generic bumpstops that are softer. Daystar brand. Get them at Summit, Jegs, Speedway...

Bumpstops are there to prevent axle contact directly to the frame. Cut down or get shorter ones, don't roll without.

Just my thought, the seat needs to be done in black vinyl with red inserts and piping with the rising sun in the center of the back rest. The picture of the truck near the railroad tracks make the graffiti artists look short. A rising sun headliner on a formed board much easier than one with bows, just another thought.

Yea ill be doing more of the interior over the winter. gonna be doing black carpet, then the seat was gonna be black with red piping an ill probly take some of your ideas too!  i have a new black headliner but im gonna be doing something different. so im probly willing to sell my headliner stuff. also gonna black out other stuff like visors an rearview mirror also looking for a bed cover.

Treat the rusty spots with a rust converter before the kil mat....

Or if they get really clean from the wire wheel at least primer the clean metal so it doesn't come back....

Where did you get your door cards? I'm torn between those and the double red diagonal stripe...

[Sublime27]

I got bored so I made a license plate spoiler I'll be bending it up a lil bit more later. still waiting for my Carbon Fiber parts from Portugal but it's in the mail!

Here's a Lil update. I recently got my dream wheels an installed them. they are 16x8 Weld Racing Typhoons from the 90s. they should have fit flush but found out my truck has spacers an when I tried to take them off I found out i need extended studs but that's alot of work that I don't have time for at the moment so I might put some flares on it. I just gotta find some that will work.

 

 

 

[iceman510]

So if you take the spacers off the original wheel studs are too short to fit through those wheels ? 

 

Seems to me wheel studs are are easier or a more desirable outcome than drilling a bunch of holes in the body.

[Sublime27]

yea original studs are too short. an I heard that rear drums are alot of work to change studs. I could be wrong only ever changed studs on disc brake setups. also I probably was gonna put flares on at some point anyways.
