Re: new member 1st post 59 apache

Hi Apache, yep lots of updates,some good some not so good,truck is running short trips only. I installed trim on truck,bed trim looks good,cab trim has a few dings but ok,Impala dash looks good need to get dash trim shortened later,seat is installed only no door panels,headliner or carpet.Vintage air not hooked up,no radio or wipers yet.I have 17s and 18s on truck,wheels look a little small for the wheelwells might put 18s and 20s on for next summer.overall really like the truck its takes more time for all the details then i had hoped. Summer will be over before i know it. Ill put some pictures on tomorrow after work.thanks Mike.

Super sweet truck, great job! What seat is that your using, looks really comfortable, and looks to fit the truck perfect. Do the seat backs fold forward?

Re: new member 1st post 59 apache

Your truck is beautiful and I know you are happy to be headed down the home stretch. Do you happen to have a pictured that captures the entire side of the truck like the shot you posted in Post #98? If you have it and don't mind, would you post such a picture (perpendicular to the side of the truck - not at an angle- capturing from front to back). Thanks.
