Jeff's Bronco Graveyard, JC Whitney to name a few. They all have tons of interior replacement and upgrade parts, they all have websites check em out! Welcome to FTE!

thanks again for all the help. i am going to need more help though i have another question. i don't want to make a huge "monster" truck i want to make a "street truck" out of it kinda something like this, http://www.truckworld.com/Street-Sce...-67chevy.html, except with my ford instead of a "****ty" oh i mean chevy. any help is appreciated. if you can tell me about magazines or websites to assist me in the purchasing of aftermarket products to spice my ford up. thanks again and sorry for asking so many dumb questions.

Might want to try searching through past posts, these things have been discussed lots in the past. Like seat swaps, a seat from a newer (up to '96) ford will bolt into your pickup... Also look through the user galleries at other people's pickups, there's a lot of good ideas in there...
