Old steering wheel gone, replaced w a newer van wheel, you have to file the keyway out of the newer ones to fit, you still have a horn contact ring but loose the turn signal trip cam, I'll have to work something out on that one. One of you guys probably know how to do that.

The bench seat needs rebuilt and recovered but I just threw a cheap cover on for now, or maybe a seat out of something else. What years are interchangeable ?

I have got to say I am both impressed and disappointed with the end. I am impressed in how the truck came out and how quickly and cheaply you were able to do it all. However that being said I am disappointed that it is all over and doen with now. Couple of questions though: 1). Are you going to hang out around here for a while? 2). What ever happened with that contest you and your friend were doing, who won? are you going to show off his truck? is his truck even complete yet? 3). Can we get more pictures fo both of your trucks?

Anyways thanks for your time and dedication.

Looks great man! I wish mine came together that fast. Next we need a vid of it running around , maybe a vs with the other fella?
Where did you get your carpet from and did it fit well? It looks like it does. Some people have mentioned that some of the replacement carpet is a little small so I'd like to avoid that in the future.
