I did finally have a chance to get the door panels assembled and installed with the new carpet lower pieces. I replaced the upper long brushed trim, door pull & chrome covers, velour inserts (went from light blue to a darker blue) and the armrests. My wife is putting new elastic in the door pockets, hence why they’re missing. But I do think it looks much better. Before & after... |

I’ve got to find a sport rear bumper. I just don’t like the big step on a lowered truck.

I did drive it a little bit today just to get a feel for it. Man, it rides & handles really well! Still need the seat cover and the replacement headlights (hence why the headlight bezels aren’t in it) and then just drive it some.
Check out how well the paint shined up... |

Nice work, cool to see the before and after!

I did get the new Phillips Crystal Vision sealed beam headlights in and the cleaned up grille and the “new” bowtie back in. Looks better than the old sealed beams that had water leaks in them.

It’s been 4+ weeks and I still don’t have my seat cover! I’m not really impressed with USA1. There punctuality sucks! I now have 7 weeks tied up in waiting on a good seat cover since the first one was boogered up. They probably won’t get my business again.

And I’m sure they have a lot of orders to fill, dash pads & Door Panels. They are somewhat, just a small company. |

While I impatiently wait on my seat cover, I finally finished the door panels with the ‘rebuilt’ map pockets and the velour inserts installed. Looks great! I also had to replace one of the NEW high beam headlights because one of the new ones was not working. Rockauto sent out the new one pretty quickly.

Well, I got the sport rear bumper installed. Glad I did it, because whoever put the receiver hitch on this truck didn’t use any kind of washers at all to ‘support’ the frame holes. They were all buggered up, but they’re all good now with appropriate washers and new grade 8 hardware. I also had to cut off about 6” of the tailpipes as the step bumper stuck out quite a bit further. I’m really pleased with the look of the exterior now.
I also got the tracking number for the seat cover!!! Supposedly, it’ll be here Monday!!! :metal: |
