I try to find the warm white LEDs for the instruments and dome lights. Not as intense.

Man this is great timing I was just looking at getting bulbs
Makes a huge difference. Don't forget the HVAC
Nice. Whens it getting a soft top? And would you do grey or black?
For now just sticking with hard top. Need to finish new carpet and dash first which im working on now then maybe some attention on the seat bottoms. If I did soft top not sure which color but I'm leaning towards gray.
Carpet is N A S T Y ! Also faded pretty bad in some areas. I know you can remove the carpet and power wash it along with scrubbing but there's always a gamble it won't come clean enough plus dye would be needed to get it back to factory color in the lighter areas. Its time to replace it. Back end is pretty bad too and oil was spilled in the back at one time.
How bad it faded on the right.

Going with grey or black?
Gray carpet, already bought it through Rock Auto. Trying to go for that factory look but black is tempting since it doesn't show the dirt as bad.
I need new gray carpet for mine as well, curious to see how the color looks. Is it a light gray or dark gray? Is it made by ACC?
You need some oem reproduction floor mats to go with it!

Thought about it but the $130 plus shipping scared me off. Those are genuine black Walmart mats right there buddy.You need some oem reproduction floor mats to go with it!

$25 and they are wide so they fit the squares ok. But yeah the Holleys would look more orig. My favorites were these old Blazer mats I had in Bandito from the 80's! Theres a company that makes similar ones but they can't do the Blazer name due to trademark.
Just saying, since you said you were going for factory look
The holley ones are nice, but im in same boat, would be nice but little pricey. Feel like at $79 I’d probably bite but at $129, its a bit rich.

Finished the carpet. Turned out nice.
the rear carpet was nasty as well. Oil spilled in the left corner. Soaked through. Had to replace the padding.
The new carpet strip looks great but I was not impressed with where they put the holes. Required all sheet metal holes to be re-drilled. Also touched up the white area around tailgate jamb. Used a can of white Raptor liner on the tailgate which covers up most scratches.
Dash installed with new trim and vents.
My new corner moldings looking good!
Can't forget the emblems.
Had to go with 3500 with the 1 tons right?!
New door sills
Bent tie-rod replaced.
