Have you got them installed yet? Dying to know how they look with the seat and interior.

Not yet. I’m waiting until my 12-yo daughter and I both have some time to install them together. She says it’s “her truck” haha so I told her she better help me work on it.

Sounds good to me. But at least unpack one and check the color, “just in case”. Don’t want to wait too long, and then find out later they clash. Then we have time to get them fixed if need be. :chevy:

I did open on up. I’ll lay them out on the seat tonight to verify. Thanks.

These are perfect.

My daughter loves them. She is ready to drive it.

My wife came in the garage too and said “you realize you’re never selling this truck”… lol

I love the red! It's so bright.
My son has put dibs on my 68. My daughter wants the 93.

I do enjoy looking at pictures of that red interior. Never gets old.

That truck looks like a beast. When I started wanting to do a truck project, this is exactly what I visioned. I’ll trade ya!

It should be a beast if I can ever cross the finish line and make it a driver... Something about the wide rears with raised white letters... haha

Here's a random pic, for tailgate tuesday

I've been following along, and as others noted that red interior looks amazing!
Definitely like the 2nd iteration of the seat upholstery, and the 'subtle' detail of the dash area painted black against all the red, ...man that thing pops!
Awsome work , this truck is perfect :)

I finally buckled down and got the front end wrapped up.

Body-frame grounding strap
Headlight bezels
Grille hoops
Bumper
License plate
Core support fillers
Tidied up a few wires

Man, you’re close!!

I know I need to keep pushing it’s almost there.

Here’s my punch list, which I should be able to do in a few days haha

Reinstall seat belts
Reinstall hood
Buy/install antenna
Oil change (post cam break-in)
Alignment
Adjust carb/timing (need help with this)
Wire up front marker lights
Align headlights
Find and fix oil leak (I suspect the oil pan)
Remove from non-op

There are of course some random little things after that but at least it will be a driver after those things.

Can’t wait to see it all come together. And I bet you guys can’t wait to be able to take her for a spin!
