very nice wished I could find something for that price in that shape around here.

Thanks, Yea she was a beater before we did work to her. Put over $6000 and she turned out great. Will get more pictures of the interior and engine tomorrow.

     You have done a very nice job on getting her fixed up.  Looks great and hopefully runs as great as she looks...

Love those diamond plate kick panels, I want to do something very similar what did you attach it with? Screws? Adhesive? etc.?

[Herleybob]

I put about 4 rivets around it to connect it to the plastic and drilled about two holes for screws to screw it to the body panel. I used a cardboard cut out and transferes it to the metal and cut it out and sanded the edges.

looks great good work!

[Herleybob]

Thanks, Im trying to find seats out of a newer truck to put in, but im not sure what seats will bolt right in, or that will fit in general. I know ones out of a 2002 silverado fit with modifications, but im looking for a kinda easy install...

Is your grey truck painted single stage or clear coat?

[Herleybob]

Single stage. Why do you ask?
