LMAO,,,,AX beat me to it again, but your interior brought me back to my youth when I visited my great gamma's house, everything covered in wild patterns, plastic seat covers and doilies (spelling)...

Not my taste but still unique.

You do great work but I'm just not sure its right to be encouraging you

 

well i practiced enough ,on my new machine (well 50 year old Singer thats new to me).... took a day off work and put in about 4 hours sewing and got the bottom finished (99%).

the bottom looks much better than the top, quality of stitches etc....

i've still got a few details inside cab to finish up, paint the plastic seat pieces, paint transmission tunnel cover...

thanks for all the comments, the stitching looks less professional than i'd like in person, but ok for me.

 

You didn't center the paisley patterns. D'oh!

Just kidding. It looks great!

 

Hey Gregg,
I've been looking at you doing those paisley seats. It's like one of those home decorating shows - that'll never work, it looks strange, how odd, ... It comes time for the reveal & it looks great. Nice job!

Was the truck always a 4x4 or did I miss that conversion part?

Looking good over there!

Really nice, like a flashback to the 60's. I always did like paisleys. Great looking work!

 

No it's wasn't 4 wheel drive, I always like the "marmon herrington" conversion done when these truck were new so i kind of tried to make it look similiar using 80's/90's parts.

here's old thread from when i started the build 5 year ago...

52' F-3 buildup........ - Pirate4x4.Com : 4x4 and Off-Road Forum

and a link to the front axle build dana60front

 

i've gotten pretty far off the thread title, but here's the finished tunnel cover.

it's sprayed with this do-it-yourself UPOL (tintable)bed liner, i sprayed the running boards with the same color. i've never used before, but am very inpressed with it, the fact that you can tint to any color is pretty cool.

i'm about ready to put the MPV seat in next day off...........

 

Great looking carpet job too!
