Looks good, Matthew. Nice and clean.

 

Thanks. I looked at the bumper today in the sunlight, wow it looks way better now than it did last night! I can't believe it hid every single imperfection on that bumper lol. I'll be doing the rear next weekend most likely the same way.

 

I painted the rear bumper today and painted the very bottom part of the tailgate the bed liner shop didn't do. Pictures don't do it justice, it looks much nicer in person.













I also have a carpet kit on the way. After I put the carpet in I'll tackle the sagging head liner.

 

The truck is looking beautiful.

Apologies about not really getting back to you about that Motorcraft carb. Not only did it slip my mind but I also got busy fixing my Bug. I do still have it I think.

 

Thanks man.

I actually forgot all about the carb lol.

 

Yeah, it started getting crazy around here. We were organizing the garage and I ended up replacing my pickup truck.

 

I got my carpet kit today. Laid it out in the bed for a few hours and will do that tomorrow and before I install it while I remove the seat. Looks like it should fit well. It sure looks to be of good quality. It's an ACC carpet kit. Even came with the hi/low beam switch grommet. It's even got insulation held to the carpet up to the seat area.

 

I like the ACC stuff, and I'm sure that's the way I'm going as well.

 

I got mine from Rock Auto of all places. $122 shipped to the door. Best deal I could find! only downside is it came FedEx. The sticker on the box says it was made the same day it shipped.

 

I got the carpet installed today. That was the easiest carpet job I've done. It required no trimming except the top right corner to clear the floor vent and cut the bolt holes out and the dimmer switch. Fit perfectly.

I also re did the floor kick panels, flaked all that vinyl and fabric dye off it and resprayed them with the spray bed liner. It looks the same ironically, should be much more durable this time. I also sanded my grungy looking door sill plates and sprayed them as well. I'll post more pics once the small stuff is put in.

 

Looks very nice!

 

I like it, but want to see the "finished product".

 

Here's the finished product. It's also about 10-15% quieter than it used to be.












The carpet is ACC cutpile from Rock Auto. The cheap stuff, VERY nice quality kit!

 

Looks good!

 

It sure does. The vinyl mat I took out ripped in several places without even trying, it was rotten. I used it as a ground over spray protector for the kick panels before I rolled it up and threw it in the trash. Maximum usage!

What truly impressed me was the width was spot on perfect. I was expecting to trim it quite a bit.
