Standing back and looking at this made me excited for the final push on this thing. The seats are the speedway buckets and I trimmed the back panel to get as much room as possible. The truck is more comfortable than my tub is and I can drive that thing all day long and not get too uncomfortable. I found a k20 yellow primered bed that is way nicer than my older one. Wish they still made that k20 primer, and if anyone has any I might be interested in buying a gallon off you if you do! Strange how quickly this thing got away from the green theme I had going once I found a nicer condition parts truck. lol Now it has black fenders.
Another question, Anyone have any close up pics of the stock model a pickup top? I bought all the model a stuff for it (rain gutters, wire on and hide em welting, and the long grain top material. I started with a section of cheap vinyl i stretched and stapled to the inboard sides of the perimeter of the top wood. Next is either chicken wire (or not?), cotton batting and then long grain stock vinyl. I'm trying to avoid the roof billowing going on the highway at 75+mph, would chicken wire help with this? Thanks in advance to anyone that knows. Gordy
