Ok today in between doing a ton of outside the house stuff I....
Located a good set of black door panels w/chrome and cleaned them up, have to do just a touch of work on them. Also have a good set black arm pads and metal finger cups to go with them.
Got my seat belts redyed black with Rit, they were sun faded to a light grey. They were as grey as the retractor covers!
Painted my seat belt covers, after deciding to go with black.
Located a set of black w/chrome hinge visors and cleaned them up.
Located and cleaned up a chrome head liner strip.
Still working on my grab handle idea... and painted black and installed the visor end pin catch.

The contacts in the turn signal switch itself are bad for getting corroded in these trucks, Rich. Alice still has a flaky left turn signal. Sometimes it works, and sometimes it doesn't.

Well located a headliner with the black vinyl overlay and some other goodies, I am starting to put the interior back together tomorrow, hopefully.
