Man, i cant wait to do the rockers in my 78.
Rocker burned in.
Floor brace didn't fit quite right so I took a bit out of it.
Floor mostly done.
Floor done, painted and seam sealed. Peel and seal down.
Insulation down.
MIP floor mat down. The fit is decent and it would have gone in easier if it were 20 degrees hotter outside. I laid it out on the living room floor for 3 days and told the girls to walk on it to try and flatten it out. Ran the heat in the truck and used a heat gun to get it to soften up, then I ran out of gas. Not totally satisfied with the way it lays and there is still some minor trimming to do but overall it isn't bad.
Done. Everything back in, replaces some lights in the dash while it was out. Found the tank selector switch stuck in between tanks and that's why it was reading wrong. But it seems now the float is stuck at full but the drivers tank is certainly empty. Hoping it will unstick itself the first time I take a drive down a bumpy road.

Still to do: reconnect E brake, maybe make some brackets out of channel since my rear cables are too short to reach. Figure out why the 208 shifter is binding slightly between 4hi and neutral. Find and plug another gas tank leak.

I had a Dodge W20 with an NP435 (granny gear manual similar to the 465) with a non-working parking brake. Once I pulled up in the edge of my yard to run inside real quick with the engine running and the trans in neutral. I thought I was on flat ground, but when I came back out, my truck was no where to be found. It had rolled across the street and was up against a fence about 50 yards away. No telling how far it would have rolled if not for that fence.
I really like your build so far man. I still just can't get over how good your bench seat looks. If mine had looked that good and hadn't been sprung and worn out, I probably wouldn't have swapped to buckets.

I would suspect that it's been recovered at some point. Although with only 16,000 original miles, it may have just rusted away by sitting outside and never been abused in the inside.
