Thank's Rick, if I wasn't paranoid about busting the windshield or tipping the cab over I'd probably do more!

I love the seats.
Thank's Scott, really happy with how our seats turned out and I can hardly wait to put my butt in them and use the truck!

Your cab looks damn sweet.
Thank's Mike, I'd agree that it could have been staged because they got it on camera. You know the bed was not tied down very well, it did get dumped on the highway (permits and stuff?) and you know "stupid is as stupid does"!

Thank's ak47paul and welcome to the forum! They are a stock 72 K20 3-leaf style replacement from General Spring. http://www.generalspringkc.com/Leaf_...972_s/1828.htm




Undercoating on the cab and inner fenders is done, didn’t get what I was hoping for from a rattle can and in hind sight wish we’d done this using a Shultz gun (next time), but hey live and learn. The great spray off started with a real old can of Keystone 970 that’s no longer available, back when this stuff was new it would give a nice chunky texture and the fumes would knock you into next week (probably why it’s no longer). That one’s been on my shelf for over 10 years and what came out was like clumpy buuuggggers, ended up that was the only chunky texture we got. Everything else pretty much laid down like thick paint, first 2 cans of Evercoat that put a thin coat on everything. Ran out to the local AutoZone and grabbed more, 2 cans of the 3M stuff and 2 cans of the Rust-oleum, all that they had. Mainly just to build up the thickness a little bit more and still hoping to find one that would give some texture (not).

Before starting this my friend Tony from Hot Rod Body & Paint (he recommended the Trim Black stuff for the top of the dash) tried to warn me that if I was after texture in a rattle can this Dupicolor truck bed liner would do a better job.
