Gene,

Where did you get your carpet from?

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..

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.

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

Why thank you! Looks like yours is coming right along, i'm oficially out of money on mine as of now. I have blown my budget, and now have to pay for the rest as time and money allows. What once seemed important on this resto now has been put on the backburner. Like my cab trim, was gonna buy all of it new to match the bed trim I bought for this truck last time I had it painted, turns out I can buy a whole new set for what it would cost to just replace the cab trim???

Budget, what's that? I'm slowly pecking away on mine 1-2 hours a night when I can. I've changed directions on mine numerous times either due to money or just simply seeing it done differently in another build.

It looks great.

I hear you with the budget thing, Im not even close to being done with mine and ive spent way more money than I ever intended to (even though it might not look like much).
