Also, forgot here’s an interior picture from when I redid the seats a few years ago.
This was taken before I slammed the headrests in.

Depends where you are from. California, Nevada, I think even some of Texas don't get that rust. Maybe even New Mexico.
There is a couple loose ends I still need to finish up.
- Heated steering wheel install (still need to get a clock spring)
- Bolt those rear steps in
- Get an emblem and figure out what im going to do with it.
- Elf mod the new fenders that arrived and get them painted
Small list.

Finally got my grill badge sorted out.
Managed to find an old AMI billet emblem. (dog shit quality) Had unfinished chamfers, looks like they used a spot drill to machine the groves, burrs EVERYWHERE,
I had to anneal it and re bend it to match the shape of the grill shell on the truck as well. No wonder they're out of business if this is how parts left.
Cleaned it up, sanded and filed everything to get it right and in 180grit finish before glass beading it.
Glass beaded.
On the truck. I also matched the tow hooks to match the emblem and the wheels. (prismatic powders triple bronze with satin clear)
Still need to put those steps on...
edit: this was at 8:30pm... i was the only one in the lot.. I dont usually park like a dickhead.
