I found a local guy that does boat interiors, he did not have access to the chrome plastic trim, so I told him to make it look like they belonged. I think he did well. He used a waterproof backing board, that he would use in boats, so they should hold up. He charged me $750 to do the seats, armrest and build both door panels from scratch. My Wife could have done it also, but we do not have a sewing machine that would sew the heavy materials...

How many different styles of Styleside fenders are there? Those are definitely the nicest ones I have seen.
It's amazing you did that work in that tent. I did not realize you had a dirt floor in there. Kudos to yous, sir.

That is nice, almost too nice. I don't know what it is, but a nice paint job on a J-truck looks kinda weird. Congratulations, you have built yourself a weirdly nice J-Truck. Or is it nicely weird?

I did not realize you had a dirt floor in there. Kudos to yous, sir. Brad, the old thrift side had the three sided fenders, and the 1980 to 1983 Sport side had the ones pictured. Those are all that I am aware of.

Weirdly nice, or nicely weird, coming from you two, has to relate to a complement!
Thanks, I think...

Everything bolted on, gas in the tank. It ran after two primes. The only thing I see that is not working is the Temp gauge. Tires next, then the shake down!

I do have to say, yesterday around 3 PM I got a bit scared! I looked around the shop and realized I had nothing left to bolt on the J10.
Three years, nine months, and nine days since I started pulling it apart, it is back together. Still have a bunch of stuff to do, temp gauge, fixed the hood latch safety this evening, the front blinkers will not work with the headlights on, and I am sure I will find more.
I was going to drive it yesterday, around the block, but realized I had no door in my paint tent. LOL.

What good is a 4WD truck if you can't bust out of a tent with it?

That looks great. I really like the plain jane steel wheels on it. Are you running those or are they just rollers until it's done?

I like it with the plain steelies, but I think it will look better with the factory wagon wheels and center caps.
