I'm in the process of getting mine done. They will look about the same as yours. I like it.

Steering wheel looks good too. That must have taken a while to do.

Re: Buddy Buckets installed

It takes about an hour and a half to stitch a wheel by hand the way I do it.
What color is your interior?

You stole my steering wheel sir!

Dang it man I've been wanting to do my 67 wheel but haven't started on it yet. I never have finished putting the final touches on it so I could wrap it in leather!
It sure looks good to man great job!

Where did you buy your wrap at?

It sucks not being able to hear!

LWB trucks rule, if you don't think so measure your SWB!
After talking to tech support at Air Lift I have found out that the kit I need is 60811. Per the measurements I gave them. Ride height of truck inside spring and inside diameter of springs.

Re: Buddy Buckets installed

I made the steering wheel cover from leather I had left over from doing Cessna 182 seats.
