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.

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.

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..
