That looks great! What did you do the back wall of the cab, pic with the seat leaned forward? Looks like carpet up to below the window.

That's a custom built storage shelf & trim that I painted black.
It's a storage shelf behind the seat and a piece that goes just below the rear window.
It was done in grey tweed with the previous interior. I liked the pieces so I painted it with SEM paint when I redid the interior.

Defiantly looks like you put a lot of effort into your truck, looks great.

That truck is awesome!!.. 8) 8) 8)
-
Curious about the bed. Did you build a new one out of re-pop parts or clean up the old one? Looks prefect. Nice truck.
-
very nice truck.
-
Man I am loving your truck, it's really clean and well built ...Great job !!

That is the original bed.
Since my Dad had it since new I can confirm that it is original. It was used over the years but well taken care of too.
-
When I got my truck the bed had 1/2 inch ply wood in it, so I took it off and was amazed that the bed floor had never been touched! There was not a single dent or scratch in the floor.
-
That was a stroke of luck, usually they're trashed or rusted away..
-
I took it out for awhile because it looked so good but used the bed a few times and let my friends put there bikes in there, now it has some scratches :-\. dang kids didnt get a license till the were 18, some still dont have a license or car :o. I was the only one with wheels lol
-
Should have put the wood back in, LOL...
-
Its in there now to stay until I dont need to use it as a truck anymore.
-
Smart move.. ;D
-
Thread got jacked there for awhile but heres some new pics...
-

Looks great, love the interior.. 8)

-
Looks awesome. I have a 76 Scottsdale with a 454 BB and am in the process of tear down still. You gave me some good ideas!
-
Thus truck had hot Written all over it! Clean ride!
What's under the hood??? If you have to ask maybe we shouldn't race...
-
That was your dads truck and the bed looks like that?
Cheater. LOL! Nice, and I hope to be close to that with old "rusty" someday.
-

That is a really nick looking truck. Was those photo's taken at a car show, or are all those cars in the background yours ?
What changes were done to the truck since the last time you were on here ?
-
Very nice looking truck. Thumbs up!

The photos with cars in the background where taking at an indoor show.
Since the last post I have changed:
- Wheels to Billet Specialties wheels
- I did an Endurashine intake & carb, with Lokar throttle cables, Edelbrock fuel pump, new valve covers, breathers, & air breather
- everything under the hood assembled using ARP stainless 12pt bolts
- EMS Billet hood hinges
- Optima battery (painted black with smooth top & installed backwards to hide cables & connections
- custom made billet trim pieces for the door panels
I think that's most of it... There's a few other things under the hood we did I'm sure.
-
Truck is gorgeous, really love the interior. Nice job. ;)
-
How was installing the Lokar throttle cable? I have considered that and wondered how hard it was to adjust?

It was a nice, easy, clean install. I did the throttle cable, kick down cable, & a nifty billet bracket that mounts to the back of the carb that they mount to.
-
Did you have to cut the cable to adjust the length?

Yes I did. The one I bought was way too long so it was cut to fit. Pretty easy set up.
