I just wanted to show more pics of what all I got for $1800 and make this my slow build thread. Right now I am just collecting parts for a spring build. I have been driving her daily since I bought her at the end of October with no issues and 216K miles. Enjoy.

How she came home:


Installed E- fan and 3 core aluminum radiator:


Washed her at my buddy's house the other day and painted the grill and mirrors black. Chrome don't get ya home. Nice and straight, Love Cali cars.



Got a little muddy:


Heres the work in progress, someone started converting the original tan interior to grey. Now I get to piece it back together, did I mention its an SR5?:

Decent seats:

chopped door cards, still brown:

Missing stereo bezel and hacked wires:

Nice cracked dash pad:

No rear panels:

Picked these TG sliders up local for $80:

My kid is...

The nice thing is all the gauges, lights, blinkers, wipers (inc. rear), work. I'm happy about that.
Any interior parts you guys have laying around that might fit in here, PM me. Im happy to buy em from ya. Didn't take pics of my cracked sunroof either.
Sorry if your computer screens are too small.

 

Very nice,

Those seats look pretty comfortable but i know looks can be deceiving, what are they out of?

 

I have no idea where they came from, they were in there. They are pretty comfy and snug though.

 

my god it blows my mind how clean that thing is. those are some pretty nice locks you got on there
what color are you goin with the interior? i have an extra brown interior in that parts truck i dont think the door panels are any good though. looks real nice anyways i wish i had the inclinometer. i like the black grille and mirrors too

 

i just noticed the red steering components lol nice
my first truck was the black on white theme looked a lot like your runner i love it

 

Thanks Al. You see your door key hanging from the keys in the ignition? lol Red steering stuff was on there. I don't know if some tweaker painted it red or if its some sort of upgrade?
I don't know what I want to go with on interior. I just figured it would be easier to re-cover the door cards, and make back panels in grey then to change out the dash. But the door cards are in pretty good shape as long as I put speakers in those holes. Floor is rhino lined front to rear, black.

hmm You have a complete brown dash? Special scottie has that pristine tan seat set. I would need a brown inclinometer cover. What do you think I should do?

The truck used Bright Gold Metallic with brown interior like this:

I like white, but factory color is pulling at me.
