I think I am going to have my seats and headliner done by a professional I want leather up front cloth in the back. (for now til kids get older)

 

They are Goodyear and came from Walmart. The center piece was meant to be rear floor mats and come in one piece. I trimmed the bottom edge and notched the top to make them fit. The drivers side seems a little small for the space but I won't really know till I put back the door sill moldings and other trim.

 

Yeah I would love to be working on mine right now but I'm beating the dents out of this old TA fender. These things are almost impossible to get in good shape here in the Midwest. But my 16 year old nephew will like what is being done to it.

 

Decided the faded and shedding plastic of my door panels were a good candidate for a little experimentation. Found some plastic spray paint at Wally world that wasn't too far off the original, pulled the panels off the truck and removed arm rest, lock button bezel and reflector, buffed off the loose oxidized plastic and let 'rip





Driver's side pre prep





painted vs unpainted







not too shabby for $8

I know matching paint is available but $12 a can? nuh-uh

 

Lookin good! Mine need done too but I've got a few cracks to repair first.

 

Mine has a crack on the drivers side and the door handle feels like there is a piece missing on the inside.

 

Made this custom shifter at work the other day just got around to putting it on. I added about a foot more then the stock one toped it off with a b&m t-handle grip my favorite ***. It's very comfortable i just think the stock ones are just to short

 

indeed.keep us posted on how it seems to hold up.......but even if ya had to hit 'em again in a year,why not for that price right?

 

Since money is tight right now, making big repairs difficult, I went ahead and did some cheap work. I pulled the gauge cluster apart and cleaned it up real good. Found that most of the plastic tabs we broken, so that is now on the list of things to purchase, but it went back on fine for now. Cleaned and detailed the interior as best I could.

Then cleaned up the rest of the truck. Cleaned up pretty nice. Paint still shines decently.

 

Bought a few more parts.

 

Fixed what I broke last weekend. New rotors, calipers, and pads. Took the hubs to works and solvent tanked them to remove the old grease and then repacked with new grease. All good for the next trip where I am sure I will break something else...

 

Exhaust is all done. Pretty much it for now

 

Nice! Is that stainless steel?

 

Stainless headders back, decided to just go Easy on the Ears With a Magnaflow Muffler.
Works well with the Magnaflow Y Pipe

 

Nothing on the F150, but the ranger gone some new shoes...
