[Old No.7]..... Interior work.

[TheBeast_88K5]

Nice build! Looking good so far.

So have you done any of the fueling upgrades yet? I work for an online diesel parts company. I don't have vendor status so i don't want to put the address.

You could PM it to me...


I think I buy enough stuff from site-sponsor's, that no one will mind.

...and, thank you for the compliment.

Gave up on PayPal too. Anti-gun and the fees. Only use it for paying folks on here and usually send it as a gift.

Amazon mostly now.

Those cab lights look cool.

Yea, they were peesin' me off for a while, but they finally got their ducks in a row.

I looove shopping w/ amazon!

I got my 18v DeWalt 1/2" cordless impact kit, for $150 on Amazon.
They retail for $400.

I kinda like it. I really like the cab lights!

Gonna install the cab lights tonight, or tomoro.
Not sure yet.

Started stripping the interior.....

I figured I needed to take the headliner out to install the cab lights.
Since I had to remove half the trim, I figured I'd just take it all out and paint it.

And,
If I was gonna go that far, I figured...
Why not pull the seats/carpet, since I have the replacement carpet already?


...

Upper trim out...

Headliner out...

Pile of stuff....

Seats/carpet are next to go...

Lookin' good...

Gotta find the woodgrain dash trim from a Lariat now to spice up the interior.

What transmission is in that thing?

Ive never seen a 7.3 truck that age with an auto before.

It's an E40D.... The 700R4 of the Ferd world.

It's also an HD upgraded unit.

Yer Dodge is comin' along perdy good too.....

 

[TheBeast_88K5]

I sent a message to the seller, we'll see what happens.

The guy refunded my $, and told me to "keep the grille."
He said things like, "This never happens...", etc.


Suuure it doesn't....

...

On the flip side.... I just got a free grille.

I guess that's pretty cool.

Yea.... That's why I love eBay.

 

[TheBeast_88K5]

Gettin' the interior done....

 

[TheBeast_88K5]

Black carpet is in....

Before:

After:

Yea.... I did get it dirty.

I still have to:
- Paint the trim.
- Re-line the headliner.
- Get new seats.
- Put everything back in.

Buckets and console out of a newer truck or bronco should be easy to find, and be a damn near bolt in deal.

I LOVE the bench in my 89 with the fold down center armrest. Most comfortable truck seat design on the planet

 

[TheBeast_88K5]

I'm gonna start calling around to auto dismantlers....
We have quite a few of those around here.

Who knows... Maybe I'll find an '04 intercooler.
