Well, I have been working on this truck here and there since last fall, the guy hasn't been in a big hurry and is kinda a budget job. So here is a few pics of it.

New brakes, ball joints, front susp bushings, new brake lines, sandblasted/painted frame, Fixed rust on the rocker, Cut out roof rust/repaired, new interior, guages, 4" turbo back with Aero turbine Muffler, new tires, pump tuned, O.D kit, Cold air kit, kdp tabbed and I think thats it, all I can remember at the moment. Original paint.

 

awesome!!!!! the interior, where did you get everything redone? im very interested. im converting my interior to that color, i already got the duplicolor paint code from you. i got grey door panels, grey seat, seat belts and "visor thingies". my main question is where did you get the fabric to recover the seat, the door panels, and the carpet?

i know its a lot to ask but thanks for all info!

 

Looks great!

Sure as heck beats going out and spending 40 Grand on a new one.

 

well, the door pannels were cleaned really good and painted with the trim paint. The carpet on the side is original. The flooring I bought from Summit. It is made by nifty. It fit real nice too. It is grey, I ordered charcoal first and didn't like it in there, and It was for a 4wd But I might put that in my personal truck. I took the seat to a guy locally that does that stuff, he used new seat foam and everything. So maybe check with ur local upholstry shop. The stock looking fabric was still available he said.

 

DNR that looks awesome. Wish i could bring mine up to get some body work done but thats a drive.

How much did the carpet run you??

Are those little sill plate thingies new, and if so, where the heck did you get them?

 

What type and brand of paint was used on the exhaust manifold and turbo housing?

 

What brand/color paint did you use on the gauge pod/door panels? How well did it match?

 

lthe part # is hvp111 Charcoal Grey

i asked him that a while back, figured id save him from having to look it up again

 

I just cleaned/degreased the motor really good and painted it with a high temp semi flat paint, I'm not sure how long it will last. Like I stated, it was kinda a budget job. Im sure it will bur off the manifold, but I think all the rest on the turbo and stuff will hold up good.

 

POR on the frame? I used those poly coated brake lines with brass fittings.

 

Looks great.

 

nice engine compartment!!!

 

dnr why can't you live closer to me

 

Wow,
That is almost what my truck looked like when I bought it back in 1999 except mine is a 1991.
My paint was taken down to the metal and repainted with Dark Metallic Quartz.

You did a great job.
