the foam for later years is taller and sits you up higher.
Seat frames were likely shorter. Be careful installing it. It is a little awkward getting it through the doorway if working alone.

Copy that! I have had my fill of rework and I can’t stands no more! *Popeye tweaked quote*

last chance, I am teetering between bedliner on the floorboards (black) or putting Corinthian white back on as it came... I would love input from everyone (including quiet observers) please??

Hmm.

Bedliner is tougher, better for a driver. Especially if you’re getting in and out with boots everyday. Also might be easier to touch up in the future. Shows less scratches. It should wear much better/longer than paint.

But the white looks so nice, original and matches everything. But will scratch much easier, and show the scratches.


I had a ‘58 Apache, the floor boards were painted black while everything else was same as exterior, teal. It worked on that truck. Looked good too, imho.


I think you could flip a coin and not go wrong.

That’s my 2c.

You really screwed up. The seat looks so nice you have to make the floor beautiful as well. As long as we are spending your money, how about white with a black floor mat?

What about white and using bed liner like a painted on floor mat as well as on the step?

I originally bought 2 gallons of bedliner to cover both the bed and floorboards. The white would be nice but this truck is to be used as a truck and is NOT a trailer queen! This means the bedliner is a better choice. Thank you to all of you who helped me talk this through.



Masking didn’t make clean lines like I wanted.

Two coats on the floor and done!

👍 Looks great. That would’ve been my choice too.

I'm going to do the bedliner as well. They do have colored bedliner, that would be my only comment. So with mine, I already have blue bedliner on the utility bed so will use the same color bedliner on the floorboards and underneath the cab.

My cousin painted his whole hunting vehicle with that stuff. Tough as nails!

Seat is done & installed

The seat is super comfortable! Its firm and supportive but soft on the top layer. My beautiful wife did fantastic getting the lines straight and lined up!

I have new pedal covers left to install at some point.

The 4x4 visor decals are a neat touch that make me happy...

Holy cow, that looks amazing. What a transformation. I can’t believe how fast your making progress! Those decals make a really nice finishing touch.



Cheers,

The truck looks great. Really great. You do this little forum section proud! If you can get your wife to fashion pedal covers out of the seat fabric it would be more comfortable to drive bare footed! lol
