The dash is now one piece leather. iI have some new dash vents coming and i'll try painting them to match the tan leather to se if it looks better.
The door panels are done in leather and suede with a flame pattern embossed over the tuck and roll pattern. door handles and window cranks are from Billet speciaties as well as the 1/2 wrap torque thrust steering wheel.

Seat started out as a 89 ford BENCH seat. Jeff cut the center section out but kept the arm rest funtional. We added metal to the side bolsters and added stiff foam. He also added stiff foam just in front where your legs rest then made the foam where your butt sits softer. The lumbar is hard foam and then gets softer as it comes up.When you sit in it it is VERY comfortable.

The speakers are kenwood 10" with other smaller speakers added. It is a sony 444 amp. The suede follows up the b piller and headliner is insulated and has the same pattern as the door panels.
Shifter is a 4 speed lokar unit with a skull pattern to match the door locks. Pedals and e- brake are also lokar units. Streo is a sony mp3, disc,am-fm unit. I also have the drink tray that pulls out of the ashtray holder. Dash is Covan classics with autometer Gauges.

The Closenuff Car club logo is the club i belong to. If you look closely you will see the imperfections in the spelling and lettering. CLOS E NUFF!!!!

Eng is a 496 bbc with p/s, air. duel eletric fans.

Your truck is a class act Radman.. The pics do not do it justice, you have to see your truck in the flesh ( as I have ) to appreciate all the work you have done.

Radman, both trucks? My 59 GMC was in Saskatoon and my 70/72 is just parts , for now!

SuperRun in Red Deer is being considered, but probably just for Saturday. I am also considering one of the two GoodGuys events in Washington. How serious are you about going to Goodguys in Washington? Not sure which one, I think I would prefer the drive to Spokane, but the Puyallup dates work much better for me.

Any other summer show plans?


Rockin Red Deer (Alberta SuperRun) is August long weekend.

Check out http://www.rocknreddeer.com/ it has been updated with the 2006 information.
