The parking lights only work on the first position out.

Out of curiosity, why did you mount the tail lights to the frame instead of to the bed?

She did not want to drill into the new painted box and the light brackets are for a different year truck . The one she likes has three holes.

How did you and your dad do on the to do list? Glass in? Interior in? I made your tail light blocks. They turned out very nice. I will drop them off Tuesday

We got quite a bit accomplished; door windows are both in and wind lacing and back panels of headliner kit are in. Also hooked up the choke cable. I have a pinched nerve in my neck so I haven't been able to work on it recently. I will post pics of the windows soon. Thanks for making the blocks, looking forward to seeing them.

Hope you get the kink out of your neck. I will leave the blocks by your door of the shop tomorrow. I got rained out Tuesday

Finally a week when I didn't have to cut the grass twice. I was able to work on the truck for several hours this weekend. Here are some pics of the progress. The door windows, cranks and handles are in. The headliner is in (finally) and the heater is bolted in (I won't put the cover on until I'm done working in there). Also took off the old seat upholstery and got the springs ready for painting.

In the famously rainy Seattle area/Pacific Northwest, I haven't had to mow for six weeks. The grandkids were 'sledding' down the dry , brown mountain grass on flattened cardboard boxes last week. And I gotta say I have seen my share of seat springs, but I have never, ever seen a set as nice as in that last photo. You are doing an amazing job on that truck. Keep it up.

So that's what the interior kit looks like. Mine is still in the box, waiting for the wiring to be finished. I finally obtained some cab mounts just to add to the fun.
Nice work on your part though!

Nice work! The interior looks great. I bet installing the door glass/regulators was REALLY fun. My father-in-law and I spent a whole day just installing the center piece in the windshield of my truck. The holes in the rubber window gasket didn't line up with the corresponding holes in the center piece. After a few modifications and many "choice" words, we finally got it installed.

I made some more progress this weekend. I tackled the seat upholstery, installed the seats and got the outside door handles on. As per usual, nothing was easy installing the aftermarket stuff. Here are a couple of pics.
