Then on to the interior. The seats and carpet will be removed. Sound proofing everything.

Just snagged some KR 08-10 door panels so we will install those.

You can say that again. It's looking pretty good though! My buddy is just now getting to a point where we can start his 12v swap, but he still needs his PCS and I need to go help him build some IC pipes. We just finished the electronics. So its fixing to be on!!

I love those tailgates with a step!! I'm not an old man, but it sure is handy!

Are you gonna repaint the whole truck or just the tailgate to match?
