I'm usually in the 67-72 side of the forum, so pretty new to the square body world. As I'm seemingly in a never ending restoration of my 70 (and then 72), and I have a bunch of projects around the house for which I need a truck (including the restoration of a truck - catch-22), I'm hopefully checking out a 73 stepside in a few days, so I have a few questions.
As an AZ truck, as you can imagine, the interior is shot. So:
- aside from getting material from SMS, does anyone make a Custom or Custom Deluxe seat cover?
- Anyone make a reproduction steering wheel?
- How are the reproduction door panels? Are they as crappy as the 71-72 panels when it comes to fit?
- I read the thread on dash pads, which was a coupe years old. Looks like the best way to go is get the vinyl covered pad, which is more like the OEM pad. Is there a difference between AC and non-AC pads?
- I think the 73 still had 80/20 loop carpet. SMS the best to get?
I'm guessing if I get the truck, I'll have many more questions, but this is good for a start. I repeat to myself, this is NOT a project truck....this is not a project truck...this is.....
