I thought missing headliner and a dirty floor was the way the factory made them. Nice truck, I see the hard work is paying off. ........g | | | | | Joined: Apr 2005 Posts: 38 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Apr 2005 Posts: 38 | That's really nice.

Is the front floor rubber or carpet?

Looking really good. I like the color. I noticed that you have a set of dual horns in the back ground. Do you know what they are for, as i have a set and am not knowing. They sound awsome
Stuart | | | | | Joined: Aug 2000 Posts: 800 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Aug 2000 Posts: 800 | Excellent. I bet it's killing you not to drive it yet. What's left to do? Is that vinyl, naugahyde or what? Headliner looks like velour in the pix.

That came out so awesome!!! Nice work. What a fantastic job. Thanks for sharing. | | | | | Joined: Jan 2004 Posts: 210 Member | | Member Joined: Jan 2004 Posts: 210 | thanks for the compliments! the horns came out of this burb and will go back in. the headliner material is a cloth that the upholstery guy helped us pick out. the front floor is rubber. we will be driving this burb and i HATE cleaning carpet. i have no reason th believe the seats are anything but original. everything looks like it's supposed to be the way it is, no "cobs" anywhere. someone from here had emailed me for picts of how the seats mounted and i lost the address. have some now if still interested. what's left is to put the pistons back in. had to do them over when it just got too smoky. will then put the nose on. everything is ready though and should be done in a month or so. will definately do some more picts then.
thanks again
