Yea I want to atleast concrete the 2 end bays, but can't justify the spending the cash just so my floor jack rolls around easier.....
Pulling the steering wheel was all I really needed to do, but great idea all the same.

Got the doors old window seals and anti rattle bars pulled, then sanded, primed and painted the door and jam to match the exterior.
The blue bottom line will be bed liner along with the complete interior and rocker panels.

looking good rich.. replacing all the door, window seals and anti rattle strips is alot of work.
.but sure makes for a nice older truck when done.. with all the work going into this truck it is gonna be a real eye catcher soon..

Thanks, I intended to make it look a little better than it was, then some guy went off the deep end on the body work and paint job. Thanks again Alan....
So I am trying to make the interior look as nice as the outside. I am surfing my catalogs for the best quality versus $ on a complete antirattle/door/cab seal kit.
JBG (Jeffs bronco Graveyard) is looking pretty good.

sounds good rich.. just stay away from those universal kits..sometimes they are more work than the money saved.. i speak from experience.. a truck i did a few years back i bought a universal weather stripping kit that was so hard to make fit, that the extra hours of work involved would of more than paid for the extra money to get the good correct set..especially those dang vent window seals

You nailed it on the head and it is awesome in my book! When is wet sand and buff day? I am trying to have the interior done by then.
And that other thing ready to buff, by at least having the mud pressure washed off it.
RC great advice on the kit, now I am looking into Dennis Carpenter stuff.

That paint took forever to flash, so I'm thinking it would be good to let it cure for while. Just let me know when the interior is done. That way whatever the body work and paint will do, they'll already have done it. Then I can go back and take out the uglies in one shot.
I'll do the other thing at that time unless you want to do it earlier. That will only take a couple hours to knock out.

Ok at this work rate I am on, it will be awhile. lol But I am working on it and should get other door and jam done tomorrow. Maybe the rest on sun?
My Oreilly's up here matched that exterior paint to a T and put it in a aerosol can, but its a little $$.
We will get to it and the other thing, when ever we can. I know you are job and shop busy.

Got the passenger side door and jam painted today. There sure is a difference in the new paint on the doors/jams and the old faded dash, but not for long.
I think I am going with the JBG cab and door seal kit, price wise DC is steep to say the least.
I am putting bed liner up to the bottom of the black door panels, cab floor and rocker panels.
Also replaced the bent passenger head light bucket mount bracket and put some more bolts in the grill shell and fenders.
