thanks!

I picked out the material at a local upholstery place. I explained to mark what I wanted layout and pattern wise and he made it happen.

Can you tell me the tire sizes, I looked and it didnt look like it posted when you were asked earlier.

Also can you tell me what they charged to polish your rims. I really like that look and Im going to look in to it up here. Having a baseline price would be good ... Thanks!

Super happy with the seat!! Looks stock just way COOLER!! I also modified the seat brackets to lower the seat.

Also installed a factory radio. This truck has no antenna or speaker holes! The radio is not wired in it is just for looks! So nice to fill the void in the dash!

Nothing wrong with a stamped rocker!
The guy that came up with the idea of the stamped rocker arm was a Pontiac engineer. I think someone told him,it couldn’t be done, so he made the first few in the basement of his house.

CG · 10-24-2021, 11:08 PM

Still curious what size tires you are running front and rear ... thanks.
