nice progress Gene!

Re: Gene's shorty 4x4 conversion
 

Well, I finally delivered my truck to my paint guy. He's going to sandblast the cab, install new rockers and cab supports and paint it Red and white and also spray a red bedliner in, i'll get pics as soon as he makes some progress.

Re: Gene's shorty 4x4 conversion
 

Well, camera crapped out on me, but my body man is just now wrapping up my cab getting ready for paint. Had to also replace both cab corners and he remove rust on kick panels. It sure has seemed like a long time since I delivered it to him, but I want it right when it's done, he's rhino lining the whole bottom of cab and bed and inner fenders so I cant wait to get her back!

Just got my seat back from my upholstery guy, seat turned out much better than I thought it would.

Re: Gene's shorty 4x4 conversion
 

Looking good Gene, what combo you going with again? You going red/white? Trevor

Re: Gene's shorty 4x4 conversion
 

Yep, i've been back and forth on what color combo to go with and finally decided with the red/white, definitely going to stay with the 2 tone if I ever get my truck back from the shop that is!

My body guy is almost finished with my cab now, he just has to undercoat under cab and I can pick it up. Torch Red and GM white turned out very nice, he even installed a cargo light for me. Will post pics if I can get em off my phone!

Re: Gene's shorty 4x4 conversion
 

Sweet build!!

Re: Gene's shorty 4x4 conversion
 

Looks great!

Re: Gene's shorty 4x4 conversion
 

Nice! Did the factory wrap the white around the back of the cab on that body style?

Re: Gene's shorty 4x4 conversion
 

I don't believe so, my truck had originall paint before and it stopped right past the bed. But it looks cool?

Re: Gene's shorty 4x4 conversion
 

I didn't think so, but I really like the way that looks. You've got me thinking about doing it that way on my truck now.

Re: Gene's shorty 4x4 conversion
 

Yeah, he wasnt sure how far it wrapped, and he said he already had it all taped off so he went ahead and sprayed it all white, he said he'd tape off and spray the middle red if I wanted, but I said no, kinda like it!

Looking good Gene. You're making some killer progress. Keep up the good work.

Re: Gene's shorty 4x4 conversion
 

http://i1109.photobucket.com/albums/.../Photo0225.jpgThanks, just took a peek at yours and it looks like your cab might have been in as good of shape as mine was! ;) I had to replace both cab corners, inner and outer rockers, and all 4 cab supports! I'm excited to get my interior in, I started mounting a few small items, and I took another look at my interior wiring harness. Needless to say, I think i'm gonna have to shell out the 300 bucks to go with a new setup. The old one has too many splices and pigtails for me to be comfortable to run again. Oh, and it would seem that one of my rear frame rails is bent slightly and it didnt show up until my cab was mounted, so i'll be taking her to my frame guy to get un-bent.

I was so relieved when I got her home to see that she fit(barely) in my 2 car garage :) You can see my bed in the background, hopefully my guy will be able to get started on it pretty soon. I pick up my doors tomorrow.

Re: Gene's shorty 4x4 conversion
 

Man, that looks so good. I bet you're real stoked. Keep it up

Re: Gene's shorty 4x4 conversion
 

Look'n great. You'll love those tires i got a set of 33" on my 94 daily driver and I really like'm.

Re: Gene's shorty 4x4 conversion
 

hi, that seat looks great, very similar to mine. i was wondering who your upholstery guy was, i'd like to have him do my seat.

Re: Gene's shorty 4x4 conversion
 

I'll PM him your name, note: he installed a pre made cover that I bought from Kenny's Trucks in Mounds, OK. But he did one hell of a job on th eold salvage yard seat I gave him. He rebuilt the padding and even painted and put the stock appearing burlap rear cover on.

Re: Gene's shorty 4x4 conversion
 

Looks good Gene ... Can't wait to see it done!

Re: Gene's shorty 4x4 conversion
 

BTW ... You're gonna love those tires. I've had 'em on 4 4wds and wouldn't have anything else. If they look a just little low on air pressure, they probably have 2-3 lbs in them

Re: Gene's shorty 4x4 conversion
 

Looking great Gene. It has come a long way. Trevor
