Thanks.
Paint code is "8T7" its a toyota blue.

For the seats- i actually took the sliders off my factory bench seat and mounted them to the floor, then took 1 1/4" square tubing and made a full frame in that fit the bottom of the dodge seats without any mounts or frames attached to them. After that i welded the square tubing frame to the factory sliders. It took awhile but i got it done.

Really big fan of this build, it's been an amazing transformation so far.  I have to admit though - every time I see "Farm Field Revival" I immediately think of "Farm Film Report" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uHkvD7-u7y8 LOL   ;D

Keep up the fine work!

thanks bake! I can honestly say that was the first time ive seen that clip. As usual John Candy made laugh. anything with him is fantastic. maybe he thinks about my truck build everytime he sees his film title. doubtful but a guy can dream.

Feel free to. I'm always happy to help others. I actually got a job as a body tech at a local shop here where I live. My hobby turned into a job. And now I have a good reason to buy more tools!

I haven't given up, just been doing small detail stuff lately and haven't had many pictures to post. I have most my wiring done and am in the middle of getting the bed prepped for painting.
I had some favors from a machinist and got sill plates and door trim made up. threw in some stainless hoses under the hood and now am making a new wiring harness.

Finally got speaker setup all together. Made 2 corner speaker mounts out of thin paneling. Carpeted it then covered the speaker grilles in a off grey fabric. Made for a clean look.
