I just got this truck in december, did a little to the motor, and a little with the interior. I was just wondering what everyone thought. http://www.cardomain.com/memberpage/793361

Yeah, Im gonna lower it with the DJM 3" spindles(maybe springs too) and the rear flip kit. But if anyone heard not so good things about DJM, please let me know. I heard there may be an issue with the caliper clearing a 15" rim- but didn't hear much detail about it.

Does it have black seat belts?

Welcome from your eastern neighbor. Great looking ride.

lofat · 02-22-2005, 01:10 PM

notmycity · 02-22-2005, 02:43 PM

I used some material that was on sale at joanne fabrics. I can't think of the name of the material, but it was 2.99 per yard. I basicly needed something that was a little stretchy to go around curves and things like that. The adhesive was headliner adhesive from Autozone (or you could get it at murrays or pep boys). Its the good stufff that costs like 7.99 for the can.

8t5Silverado · 02-23-2005, 09:24 AM

So did you glue the fabric right to the metal roof or to the fiberboard that was in their originally?

I pulled the old headliner of the fiberboard, brushed all the loose stuff off, sprayed both the fabric and board, then pressed it on. Went surprizingly smooth. For the door panels and dash, I lightly sanded the plasticy surface to give the glue something to hold on to, sprayed the glue, then just kind of stretched the fabric around the bends.

Thanks for the tips. I was actually thinking of "pimping-out" my ride and for now don't have the 1200-1500.00 to do it OE/repro. Heck, just the after-market split bench is 500.00 and up for a decent one
