Looking good. You might think about putting the rubber shifter boots metal lip UNDER the carpet and that way the cab is sealed from splash up water. And then get the chrome trim rings for the shifters to cover the carpet edge. Yea...now I tell ya. Still looking good especially the chrome trim overlay on the pedals.

do you happen to know where to get the transfer case trim ring? I can’t seem to find them at my usual sources (LMC, Bronco Graveyard, etc)

I was not trying to be nit picky I just hate to see all your hard work get wet from a possible leak. I am sure someone on here has one (I am all out of stock of spares at the moment) or maybe ebay or Dennis Carpenter? Put a little RTV before you set the boot down to the cab floor, to be sure NO water gets thru. A idea of how it will look. OUCH https://www.ebay.com/i/154358635777?...DefaultOrganic

I was able to find the trans shifter bezel but not the transfer case one at the junkyard today. I couldn’t remember which one you needed so I got it. Looks like I guessed wrong haha.

The interior is coming along (included a few pictures). Pulled the carpet backup, put the shifter boots down on the metal, then replaced the carpet. Put the trim bezel on the gear shift, but the 4WD bezel hasn’t come in yet - I sent some guy on the GPULSE website $50 on pay pal - hope it shows up. If not, no big deal.

Truck is now super quiet - put the LMC truck insulation and sound mat down, then carpet, then carpet floor mats. Have a little more to do on the gas tank (in cab) but I can hear the radio crystal clear now.

that was a great idea to use those trim bezels - thanks for the tip. Shifter bezel looks great and now it should be weather tight.

installed new rubber on doors and man do the doors shut great!

I have a NEW question - I have new seat belts, and striped the old bolt (see attached photo) and now I’m in a pickle. I bought an extractor, however, I can’t get a good bite because I haven’t been able to drill a good pilot hole - these bolts are hard. Any suggestions?



Striped shoulder harness seat belt bolt

New rear window and windsheild - can see right through the truck now

Carpet down, insulation down (super quiet), trim down

New windshield

Trim bezel on gear shifter

Interior
