thanks for the feedback. i appreciate it. still not 100% locked on my design yet. but i've decided that the seats won't have sour green inserts. i want to avoid "random green areas" and try to pull off subtle green accents. I'll have to do some drawing (since i can't use CAD) and post a pic or two of my ideas. I definitely want double-stitched french seams on the upholstery work.

i hate not having a traditional garage. I do have a carport though. it's that time of year to put up the chrome/aluminum since i don't like cleaning/polishing in cold temperatures. time to rock the steelies.




but she floats like a Caddy on 70 series tires LOL

Gangster! I love the 70/60 series combo on mine! Aside from the occasional bump stop meeting she floats!

i had bought these tires a couple years ago when she was my "work truck". Since the TH400 trans. doesn't have over-drive, i stayed with larger tires.

but a 700r4 is on my to-do-list.

ummm AIR RIDE!! lol ... finish the interior (i guess i should start on it first..), i kinda want to put a mild stereo system in it.

no body drops for this truck.. or insane engine. i just want a cruiser not a racer.
