They will be posted here first, then the store, then social media.

Curious about the seats in the first pic on page 3. Where did you get them and some more pics of them if you don't mind me asking.

The seats are out of a 2012 tahoe. i went this route cause found out seats out of newer crew cabs have these clips on the rear seat that click in back part of cab. didnt want to half to weld brackets and stuff to the rear cab. the pic on page 3 is part of the rear seat which is the 2nd row of tahoe. i will take pics of the front seats in the morning and post them. i bought them off ebay from seller oemseats. found out guy lived 1 1/2 hours from me so i picked them up in stephenville, texas. he has lots of chevy seats.

Thank you for the reply and information. I live in West Louisiana about 30 miles from Tx. so maybe I can make a trip there when I get ready. That's a good project you got going. Look forward to more updates.

Motor and tranny/ transfer case are mocked up time for paint. Truck goes to paint and body shop Monday. Nightfall gray metallic color I choose. Roof lights are getting covered and sidemarker lights on fenders are getting covered. And gas filler cut out in back part of bedside like were it is on suburban and blazer. Door handles will be black and outside mirrors will be painted color of truck. 3+3 emblems will be black. Front grill center part and emblem will be gray. Rest will be black. And headlight bezels will be gray. They are going to do smoke color for tailights. Also they will do the rhino lining for the bed. Not wanting any chrome on truck. Bumpers have been powder coated black.

Outstanding work and can't wait for more pics.  BTW- what are you going to do for a headliner, I need one as well and the options for a cc are slim and none ?
