Thanks Gembone It's a handle cup, I figured it needed a cup there as much ware as it will get behind the handle. I debated over whose switches for a while.

I hate to ask this, because I bet you've said, are those mustang bucket seats Randle?
Interior pieces look great, no surprise since so does the rest of the truck. Clean and simple always gets my attention. Funny how the "simple" part is never simple to achieve.

Simple seems to take a lot more thought and planning and sometimes a redo when it don't come out right the first time.
The seats are from a 86 Bronco 2 and the console is from a big body 80's Bronco.

Thanks Guys for all your comments, they mean a lot coming from people that know these old trucks.
I got a little more done today, got the headliner in. It fought back but with the wifes help we won out and got it in. It's hard to tell in pictures but it is covered the same as the seats and door panels and has 1/4" foam padding. I put 3 buttons in the headliner one to hide the support screw in the center and another on each side. Time the buttons pulled down in the padding it put the heads buttons about flush with the surface of the headliner.

Yes it came from a mid 80's full size Bronco, I'm planning on painting it black to match the seats and adding a panel inside to mount the controls for the amp. and probably a power point.

WOW! 2X Gavin. Had to clean my keyboard also. Those switches do look perfect and "factory". I even started a thread prolly a year ago calling for ideas on P/W switches. What did you get them out of?

I guess we'll have to start supplying wipes. LOL
I got the switches from A1 Electric. They are Electric Life switches, what they call there Joker style illuminated switch.

Reminds me of that Ol' TV commercial where the one guy said "BRILLIANT". 2nd or 3rd time real recent this hit me. You and quite a few other guys are doing some awesome stuff to their trucks.
