it set me back a pretty penny but i kinda wanted to keep an old school look and the bucket seats just weren't what i was looking for in this truck. you sure did pull it off in your truck tho. you kept an old school look with the buckets and it really turned out great.

Yeah I like the old school look too. If you notice I removed the headrest that really makes the seats look older.

The good part is the fox body seats bolt on to stock seat tracks and the upholstery for these seats are fairly easy to install.

I need to work on the dash now. Ugly fake wood trim.

yeah i know what you mean about the trim. i wasn't gonna have any wood in mine until i found that steering wheel and after i decided to get that i built the console. i am also going to keep going with the wood by making wood arm rests/ door handles and making a wood floor in the bed.

if you go look on Ebay... they have aluminum panels that cover up the wood grain on the dash trim panel .... when i had my 87 i thought about gettin one.... but decided against it since that aluminum panel would be the BEST looking thing on the whole truck......lmao ... just a thought .....
