Thanks guys. I've been spoiled with my Ford SYNC systems in my new pickups so I know I'll end up putting a bluetooth head unit in my 95, I just need to figure out which one I guess. I like Alpine, Kenwood, and Sony so I'm sure it'll be one of those.

 

Recovering the driver visor didn't give me enough alone time with my truck this morning so, this evening I pulled out the A/C vents, rebuilt them, and then reinstalled them. Now I can get that cold A/C breeze in my face instead of it just blowing in random directions.

 

The stitching on the visors is done. Now I just have to throw them in at lunch. I'll post a pic of the completed headliner area later, that is if the site will let me post a pic.

Sorry if y'all are getting tired of my "Today I" posts. I just really enjoy doing this stuff myself, and I like sharing what I've done.

Looks great...and keep on posting!

 

Thanks Ghost. Will do.

 

Got my headache rack today. Pretty happy with the build, and now I finally have good tie downs along the bed, and no worries of wood coming through the back window.







Unfortunately, you can see the moulding on the front fender just came off this morning.

 

$120 gets you a whole new set of those side moldings (precut) from LMC Truck. If pieces are starting to fall off it might be time for a freshening up anyway. Or you could go the less expensive route and just rip them all off (which is what I did).

 

Yeah, I was tempted at one time to take them off, but I like the look, plus, they afford a little bit of protection from the random tractor bumps and what not.
All the other ones seem fine, so I think I'll go the cheap route for now, and glue the orig back on. I have a new bed, doors, fenders, and hood, for when I do clean up the body...

 

Makes sense. I had just assumed that you had lost the original piece when it fell off.

 

Today I pulled off the cab lights, cleaned them up, replaced the bulbs, cut new seals for them out of Felpro gasket material, reinstalled everything, and then replaced the toggle switch for them.

 

That's good to know about the LMC moldings.

9 times out of 10 I find little rust bubbles under that moulding anyway. Tear it all off and clean up the rust before putting new back on.

 

I ordered the free LMC truck catalog for our body style pickups when I first bought mine and it is no doubt the most comprehensive restoration parts catalog I have found. The catalog is free so I encourage everyone to order it. Can't hurt to have it laying around.

 

I was going to rip mine off till I read there would be rust...

 

I pulled them all off of my 95 three weeks ago when I bought the truck and I had absolutely no rust whatsoever on mine. I guess it all depends on the previous owner and the truck's living conditions.
