Got my fatmat installed, 50 ft. barely covered what I needed, i'm really wanting to install my carpet but i'm going to wait until i'm finished with the wiring.

Re: Gene's shorty 4x4 conversion
 

Couldnt wait, set the carpet and seat in so I could cut my holes in carpet. http://i1109.photobucket.com/albums/.../Photo0238.jpg

Re: Gene's shorty 4x4 conversion
 

It's starting to all come together now. It looks great bud. What are you plans for the kick panel area, carpet as well?

Re: Gene's shorty 4x4 conversion
 

Yeah, I talked to my guy that I got the carpet from and he said that the same company makes kick panels and door bottom panels that match exactly.

Gene, how's the progress coming? Trevor

Re: Gene's shorty 4x4 conversion
 

I love it! Excellent choice with the colors! Where did you buy the brake lines from? That is a good FYI about the '71/'72 difference in length. I didn't know that.

Re: Gene's shorty 4x4 conversion
 

Slowly but surely, getting my truck back from paint. Gotta get a buddy to help me put my doors on, i'm scared i'll scratch them up. Gonna have my paint guy install the roof drip moulding I scored at my local salvage yard.

Re: Gene's shorty 4x4 conversion
 

Thanks! I ordered mine from Inline Tube. They fit very vell, but have NO instructions whatsoever...

Re: Gene's shorty 4x4 conversion
 

Thanks for the brake line info. The truck just keeps looking better and better. :chevy:

Re: Gene's shorty 4x4 conversion
 

Found out the hard way that I should have installed the doors before putting the front clip on :rolleyes:

Re: Gene's shorty 4x4 conversion
 

Hey at least some good does come out of it, we learned what not to do when its are turn.. At least its correctable!

Re: Gene's shorty 4x4 conversion
 

Lookin really good Gene! You want to come work on mine? :lol:

Re: Gene's shorty 4x4 conversion
 

I'd love to, but you're a wee bit of a drive away!

Re: Gene's shorty 4x4 conversion
 

Yep, the front clip aint that bad to pull, just irritates me that I didnt think before I started wrenching! :)

Re: Gene's shorty 4x4 conversion
 

Your truck looks grate. Makes me think about making mine into a shorty.

Re: Gene's shorty 4x4 conversion
 

Well, I have ran into the usual problems after installing new door weatherstripping, I have to slam them to get them to shut. They shut just fine before I changed the door rubber? Is there any way you guys know of to wear them faster?

Re: Gene's shorty 4x4 conversion
 

Your shifter retainer ring looks new. Where did you get it at? I've been looking a little bit today with not much luck. I can find the boot, and I got my chrome shifter ordered, but no ring yet.

Thanks.

Sweet rig btw!!!

Re: Gene's shorty 4x4 conversion
 

I ordered it from member mekdad, I think it was 35.00? Machined aluminum to match the radio plate he made for me. Give him a shout.

Re: Gene's shorty 4x4 conversion
 

Pushed her out of the garage to do some cleaning and snapped a few shots, I get the rest of the truck back tomorrow!

Re: Gene's shorty 4x4 conversion
 

Gene,

Where did you get your carpet from?

Re: Gene's shorty 4x4 conversion
 

I picked it up from my local(well 60 miles away) guy. Here's his website www.kennystrucks.com It fit pretty well, I did use some spray adhesive to help with the wrinkles. I bought all my interior from his place, door panels, carpet, arm rests, dash pad seat cover, etc..

Re: Gene's shorty 4x4 conversion
 

Went and picked up my bed today and installed it at the body shop. Man the pics dont do this torch red justice, I am so very happy I went with my Paint Guy. Other than the little mistake of the cab and door lines not matching up I think he did an awesome job. I'm thinking that the trim will hide it though.

Re: Gene's shorty 4x4 conversion
 

I'm officially jealous.:lol: Sweet looking ride you have there sir.
