I can't decide... I like the looks of the race-track trim down the side, but it holds so much dirt and crud behind it, it usually ends up causing dirt streaks down the sides. I forgot to get a couple shots under the hood, the guy painted everything, insides of the fenders, etc... that red is everywhere.

I might tone down the interior with black carpet too, but he managed to get the seat and headliner to match the red carpet nearly perfect... not sure how he did that!

i have no idea Rob, Looks really good.

thanks to you, i just ordered an LMC catolog. they have headliners in there with built in speakers, anti rattle kits for the doors, everything.. There isnt much rust on the truck, so the body work shouldnt be to much of a problem

the oldest has been giving me crap about wanting to keep it as stock as possible, but i do have a few mods in mind. Looking to see what i can find in way of converting the tail lights over to the LED truck/trailer lights. i know it can be done, and if its done right should look pretty sharp

That'd be a cool upgrade Jerry. I kindof like a close to stock look too, but some modern touches really look great on these old trucks.

there are a ton of aftermarket upgrades you can do. i am tempted to swap steering column so that i can have tilt. I still have the factory radio im going to reinstall in the dash and keep my center console. id love to find a set of bucket seats to throw in there and get rid of the bench, but i dont know where to even begin looking. i know many of the mid 90's SC had them, but i dont know if they would fit for a reg cab
