My kind of build thread! Fast and to the point.

Very clean truck! I also vote for the fender emblems

jgreene0717 · 03-21-2013, 08:30 PM

Great job on the build Mike. Don't sell this one. I like the fender emblems as well.

Mr.Chevy4x4 · 03-21-2013, 08:48 PM

Thanks Jason. So, are you the proud owner of a new square?

harnalien · 03-21-2013, 10:21 PM

Awesome truck. I couldn't help but notice our trucks look very similar...we even have the same wheels. What size are your tires?

Not yet. I did not get a chance to go look at it. Try to go saturday.

Mr.Chevy4x4 · 04-01-2013, 05:55 PM

Almost done. Waiting on new steering wheel. Drives like a dream.

Low Elco · 04-01-2013, 06:06 PM

Did you put a new cover on the seat and dash? If so where did you get them. By the way, looks super sharp.

Mr.Chevy4x4 · 04-01-2013, 09:35 PM

The seat cover is from LMC, and they are easy to install. The dash pad is actually original to the truck. It was parked under a car port most of it's life which really helps the interior. The original seat cover still looked very nice but had a small split in it.

Thanks for the compliments!
Mike

Is the seat cover alot different that the factory color and fabric design? I have been looking for a cover replacement for mine but it seems like no one makes a cover that duplicate the factory. I do have an inquiry into SMS but have not heard anything back yet. Still looking for a good dash replacement. Seems like it is hard to match the color and also getting a decent quality replacement. Thanks.

Great looking truck.

jgreene0717 · 04-02-2013, 09:22 AM

Great job whitey!!

silvereagle07 · 04-03-2013, 12:16 PM

Looking good. What steering wheel did you go with ?

**rs74** · 04-03-2013, 08:30 PM

Where did you get your kick panels with speakers.

The fabric design is identical, and the color is dependent on what color interior you have. To me the gray they have is lighter than the factory color, but most of the others are very close.

I agree that the replacement dashes are iffy at best.

Mike

Does the parking brake clear those kick panels?

Mr.Chevy4x4 · 08-31-2013, 11:46 AM

Long time no update. Unfortunately time to sell. Here's a video of one of the dyno runs.
