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.

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.

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.

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.
