The last few days I managed to get a few more things done to the truck. I installed the windshield, side windows, vents, side trim, tail light wiring harness. I got rid of the floor shifter and installed the other manual steering column and adjusted the shift linkage. I painted (4) stock rims and installed the tires using a manual tire changer. All this after I get off work and the wife still just doesn't understand why this is taking so long..... Next up I'll install the carpet and gas tank curtain and then on to recovering the bucket seats. Here's some more progress pictures

The carpet and gas tank curtain are now in. I went ahead and bolted in the console. I was going to get started on recovering the bucket seats tonight but ran out of motivation. I'll try to get them done tomorrow after I get off work. I think the interior is starting to look better than the moldy and faded mess I started with when I got the truck.

Here are a few pictures from earlier this week. The truck should have another home soon.... I hope. I will take a break and start on another 65 truck soon. I plan to drop a motor and spare Dana 60 posi in the new truck and hunt and play with it this fall.
