Progress at 11 months
Just some pictures to show my progress . I need tires and wheels, headliner,kick panels and some minor trim . This was built to be driven and used . By no means a show truck .

Wow, that's quite a transformation! I like the stock look for a working vehicle.

I have to disagree! It's a show truck in my mind. I sure would be running over to it and checking everything out closely at a show. She looks great!

Beautiful!
Looks like an oil tornado went through the old engine bay picture

Nice job!
It takes mental toughness to push through these projects, especially once the "fun" parts are done and the tedious work begins.

Very good, Dave!
Did you recover the seat or is it a "new" one?

That looks great Dave. The engine bay looks like an entirely different truck.

I think so too!
It looks just fine. I like what you have done with it in a very short amount of time.
It's ready for work again after being in retirement.

That truck looks fantastic! I really like to see them when they've retained the original look. Five stars to you on a workhorse being completely freshened up in only 11 months!
