The overhead is missing the inside trim that surrounds the windshield. I have oversize washers holding it into place. “See photo”.
The seats are old and from an 86 Oldsmobile, they just have new seat covers over them.
No Air ride.
After building this truck, I took it to North Carolina Dept. of Motor Vehicles and I asked them to inspect the work and Issue a New Replica title, since the trucks frame is no longer original and is placed on an S10 frame. They issued me a new Replica title.
