Well they came in yesterday, and to my surprised my friend installed them for me today. It's sitting in his garage, he likes this truck so much, he couldn't wait, and did the work.

I changed the oil, coolant, and tuned it, including valve adjustment. The engine sounds sweet. You can't hardly hear it idling now.

I'm in your friend's driveway right now. Please have him open the door so I can push my truck in.

That is a very nice looking truck. Especially like the color and it did shine up real nice.

I'm replacing my seat covers with a Vinyl/Tweed style . If anyone is interested in these that are in excellent condition, send me a PM. They are listed in the classified forum.

If you can, post a pic of your install for the Dynamat and let us know what you think. I will be at that stage with my 48 hopefully soon. There is nothing in my cab right now.

I know I'm a little late to the game here but you have one good looking truck!

Thanks. I'm sure your truck will come together. Before you know it, you'll be driving her.

I'll take some pics as soon as I get back to my friends shop. That's where I'm storing and working on it. I can only go there once or twice each week.

Thanks! I'm really pretty close to that project myself. As I've said everything is out of my cab right now. Are you going to refurb the seat yourself? My seat has the original covering I believe and I need to do something with it as well.
