Atleast a foot..I felt like 4th (3rd) gear had me reaching for the passenger floorboard.

I think I'm going to work on the interior first.

My plans are to put bucket seats w/center console/jump seat.  I also want to put carpet in... maybe I'm crazy, but I just like the carpet look.  Stereo will probably be the first step - gotta have my tunes.  I've just got to figure out how to get the head unit swapped.  It already has an after market (JVC) unit that doesn't work, so it shouldn't be too hard.

You did a good job on that.  It'll look real good when you get it done.  Good luck man.

Nice truck. Kinda looks like mine. I put bucket seats out of (I think) a '78 Chevy turck that has the low back. I love it and looks great too. Good luck.

Well, I've redone the front grille/headlights/bumper, and I've installed carpet, redone the dash, and installed a Grant steering wheel.

I'll get some pics up soon.

Nice starting point, and nice paint scheme to end up with. It reminds me of something else 'Chevy' that I've see with the black, orange stripe and silver. Can't put my finger on it though. Should look great.

I've too waited along time to end up with my truck, an 81 GMC short-wide 2wd that's been restored to look like an 85 Silverado. It's a mild 'street truck' you could say. What I originally had in my head though was a stepside but couldn't find one in nice enough shape for my budget. I remember one from my hometown when i was about 12 and a high school guy had a white new 86 at the time, and  mildly customized. I was in love! No complaints about my wideside though. And I'd do carpet. My truck had a new one when I bought it and it feels so much cleaner and neater to have a fresh carpet in it.
