Thanks guys.

The liner we're using is a simple rattle can product from NAPA. As a matter of fact, almost all of the chassis finishes are purchased at NAPA. I wanted a truck that I could refreshen easily.

I'm not sure what Duromat is. I was going to go with lizardskin and ran out of budget. That's easily done in the future though if deemed needed.

As far as vendors go. I tried a small one down in texas for the first 2700.00 on interior parts and woodgrain restoration. 5 months later and I still don't have all of my parts order that I prepaid him for. He won't return e mails etc. so I'm going to have to order the next 3000.00 through someone else. I'm going to order from someone in the northwest and see if I can save on shipping somehow. Things like grille shells and inserts add up fast!

Should see some blackness splattered on 'er soon!
