Very pleased with the upholstery complete.

A few minor wrinkles, but I still need to take a heat gun to them.

Waiting for my Coco mats, so I don't stain the blue carpeting! Kind of wish I would have went with black carpeting now.

Looks good. Funny, this weekend I was cursing my black carpet as it shows a lot of debris.

Yea, I guess that would be the case too.

Unfortunately, the blue will show dirt and grease very quickly.

Man....I missed out on those beautiful steps that Mike sells. So I thought, what the heck, I'll just build me up some.

Definitely time consuming! The steps from Mike are a bargain price!

That interior looks great!

jimbosprint · 04-18-2020, 12:29 AM

Nice fabrication work

I saw that you said you had those rally wheels that are on it, did you ever say where you got them from? Or did they come on it?

I found these for sale locally in my area. I paid $400.00 for the complete set with original rings and caps.

I do like them, but I'm really leaning towards the white steelies with the dog dish hubcaps.

I do have a set of white steel wheels (made in the USA), that are 15" x 10". I'm not sure I want to go 10" wide, and may prefer to stay with 8" wide.

Still making decisions!

Pat

Ptjsk · 04-19-2020, 08:27 PM

The finished product!

**DeadheadNM** · 04-21-2020, 10:37 PM

Nice work Pat

Thanks Pete!

I'm now pulling the top off, rear bumper and doors. I'm going to finish the paint on it.

Do you have any suggestions as to purchasing the window rubber that runs parallel to the length of the door?

Thanks again,

Pat

**DeadheadNM** · 04-22-2020, 08:21 AM

If I’m not mistaken Precision is not offering a push-on style weatherstrip for the doors. I’ll see if I can locate a relevant post. This might be a good option. Are you planning to replace the vent window rubber as well?

I think I should probably replace the vent window rubber too. Especially since I'll have it off the truck.

They’re awesome. Just put a pair on my Blazer.

Ptjsk · 05-02-2020, 12:29 AM

Doors painted. Tail gate painted.

Now to remove the windshield and paint the remaining "tub" of the truck.

Pat

jimbosprint · 05-02-2020, 10:55 AM

Nice progress!

**Ol Blue K20** · 05-02-2020, 11:17 AM

It's definitely looking good. I can't wait to see it done

Ptjsk · 05-06-2020, 11:50 PM

Top off preparing for paint!

The windshield frame looks fantastic, as well as the rear of the Jimmy. This includes the back of the tub and inside both fender-wells behind the rear wheel.

Pat

**DeadheadNM** · 05-07-2020, 07:54 AM

Good luck w the spray. Do your bed rails also have holes to accommodate a double wall top?

**Ol Blue K20** · 05-07-2020, 08:33 AM

windshield frame is in great shape. This is going to look awesome

Not really sure where these would be, but the only holes on top are the ones that hold the current single wall top down.

Thanks Bud! I'm hoping to have it painted by the end of next week.

Pat

**DeadheadNM** · 05-07-2020, 10:37 AM

The holes would be atop the bedrails near those for the 1x wall top - like a duplicate row of holes but without the associated captured washers. It seems like later 72 Flint K5s had bedsides with only provisions for 1x wall tops unlike earlier and St Louis examples.

Here's a few pics Pete!

**DeadheadNM** · 05-08-2020, 07:18 AM

Thanks! That’s great. No holes for a double wall top. Helps to fill in a small puzzle piece.

Ptjsk · 05-08-2020, 11:02 PM

Top of windshield frame shows it's in great shape.

Bottom is equally clean too!
