This is where I spent most of my time! (note to self: do NOT buy anothers project!) I spent quite a while putting this truck back to stock. Many hours in the junk yard to find the pieces; replaced the bucket seats (that I never did find out what they came out of) with the stock bench, took of every piece that could be removed and painted it black to cover the awful silver and numerous other things. It took me many beer filled nights to get it back to stock but I was very happy when it was done!
