Heres a shot of my interior, almost complete...

Sexy!

Any more pics? Looks like a nicely built truck.

Some of the body work included removing all the side marker lights, saddle gas tank fills removed, front turn signals removed and installed behind grill and vents below front grill were filled in. Door vent wings removed and one piece glass windows installed.

Really sharp truck, but then again my opinion might be biased. I have been looking at that same steering wheel. Do you mind me asking where you got it?

SoCalWaldo · 09-17-2015, 09:23 AM

The steering wheel is not shown in any of the pictures so I am a little confused?

blazer2007 · 09-17-2015, 10:04 AM

I think he means the truck with the red interior

Perfect, never, ever paint it.

This 79 steppy made it all the way to New Zealand at the bottom of the world. Sitting 15 x 8. 275 r60. Bog stock. Pulls the skin of the rice pudding and a bit.

How do you like those door panels? I've considered getting them.

Nice. I'm putting my skineys back on. Love the sign writing. The colour is just right. I'm a fan of this kind of solid statement.
