once i get the seat back from the upholstery shop, hopefully next saturday, i can finish the shelf and line it with some sort of fabric to keep things from sliding around when driving.


also got around to installing my new radio in the glove box...

i still have to fabricate some speaker boxes for the cab corners beside the seat ends, but it is coming along..

any questions, feel free to ask.

Looks pretty darn good.

Also looks like we dodged another bullet (Ike).

Once again Leonard, Nice Job!
Storage in these cabs can be a problem,but with a little thought
and clever fabrication anything can be achieved!

I look forward to seeing the finished product.
It's been good fun watching your truck 'evolve' over the past few months.

Good news,you folks seem to have'missed' a visit from Ike!

That is really neat, I like that.

Good thinking.

thanks guys... when i finish i will post more pics.

alan, yea, we got lucky again huh ? ike was scaring me.

jockbolter50, your truck looks like it is coming along fine itself. looking good. do you have any pics of it setting on the air bags ?
i am envious, i want to visit scotland.

Hi Leonard, I took the 'Bags' out temporarily while the exhaust was being fabbed. These welding sparks 'take no prisoners!'
I am hoping to place the cab back on soon and I will post some more pics!
If you ever come to "Jockland" bring some of your Florida sunshine! http://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/morar/morar/index.html
This is a 'wee' place Mrs Jockbolter and I like to visit. Actually the Western Isles has had a reasonable summer this year.
Scotland wouldn't look like it does if we had 80/90 degree summers all the time. Guess we'll just have to put up with the "liquid sunshine"
Thanks for the encouragement!
Jock

jockbolter50,
thanks for the info on scotland. that is a beautiufl country for sure.

cant wait to see some pics of your truck with the air bags..

take care...

leonard

Looks great to me, keep up the excellent work!!

thanks coach-frank..

wont get my seat back until next weekend, so will have to wait and finish the shelf then..

but i will post pics of it when done..

leonard

Very nice work, Leonard, and great idea! Thanks for sharing. Hurricane Ike kicking up over this way. Saying prayers for the Texans right now. We'll get Ike's diluted tropical storm winds and rain here in north Louisiana tomorrow.
