Webbing detoriates in time and it isnt recomended to re-use it. Go to Seatbeltplanet.com Super high quality and excellent pricing.
I wouldnt want you to get hurt.
Sorry I took so long to relpy.

UPNADM · 04-25-2013, 08:24 PM

Got some misc. parts blackened up.

Hope to get a seat in this rig over the weekend and retire the cooler.

UPNADM · 04-27-2013, 04:17 PM

Got my Dad to come over and give me a hand.

Got the exhaust in place.

And mirrors hung.

Drove it to the fuel station and filled it up... ha. $145.00 later.

Here are some photos...

UPNADM · 04-27-2013, 04:18 PM

A couple more...

68Timber · 04-27-2013, 06:14 PM

Sure is looking good.

UPNADM · 04-27-2013, 06:42 PM

Thannks. I am wanting to take it for a decent ride. The truck is licensed, insured but the cooler I am sitting on for a seat will not likely satisfy the police in my town. I am sure I will be pulled over. Ha. The seat mounts I have are for a 73-80 and the seat and seat covers I got are for an 81-87.

I did not want a rigid seat. I wanted a folding seat.

68Timber · 04-27-2013, 06:56 PM

Did you go with black or brown seat cover? I'm guessing black since the door panels are black?

UPNADM · 04-27-2013, 07:09 PM

I went with black. I took the easy route. I really did not want to dye everything. I have to modify the seat to put in the truck.

Unfortunatley my cousin who has done some of my weldind is romancing his wife today. So I have to wait until tomorrow to get it done. Ha.

UPNADM · 05-01-2013, 08:47 PM

Nothing too exciting today, but did get the seat belt bolts out. I am happy with that.

I ordered some Kenwood 4x10 speakers. With a little altering I got them installed. Throughout my travels I picked up a 4 channel amp. Thought I would throw it into the mix.

UPNADM · 05-01-2013, 08:48 PM

Thanks to everyone for the kind comments this past week and throughout my build.

matchstick321 · 05-01-2013, 10:47 PM

I bought it at my local CARQUEST Store.

JRANGER · 05-02-2013, 08:32 AM

Looks awesome!!

68Timber · 05-02-2013, 08:35 AM

Did you try PAM?

Honestly, no... It turned out only one bolt was a PITA.

I give it a bit of heat around the base and used a better pipe wrench and it turned out pretty effortlessly.

I am taking my truck out for the first time this weekend to a local flea market and car show. It is not finished to the way I would like it, but I got to get it out on the road... ha.

Boost2Bags · 05-04-2013, 12:51 PM

This truck turned out soo nice, I dig it!

UPNADM · 05-06-2013, 09:41 AM

Good morning All,

Just thought I would share a photo from the weekend. I took my truck and bus and some parts to the first automotive flea market at the Lindsay Fairgrounds. It was a great turn out.

Even though the truck was not done, it got several looks and several pictures of it where taken. That really makes it all worth while.

I really enjoyed the comments of when I took it through town and allegedly "rattled the windows of downtown Lindsay". I guess I got what I was looking for... ha.

Anyway I appreciate all the following throughout the build and the great comments so far.

I still have some work to do to make it finished, but I am almost there.

matchstick321 · 05-09-2013, 07:45 PM

Hey I've got a quick question I figure this is the best place to ask without making a new thread not trying to jack this thread or anything, but can you upload pictures straight to a thread like from an iPod or any other moble device or do you have to use something like photobucket and link the picture?

You can do either. You can attach pictures from your mobile device by using the manage attachments button or you can use tags from a hosting site like photobucket.

I always use tags and photobucket because I like to be able to insert pictures into my text where I want them and in the order I want them. The attachments feature just sticks them on the end of your post regardless.
