This is the interior of an early Ford Truck that was on Ebay last fall. I loved the retro look of the Black with White Pleats. The interior is being done at a shop in the middle of nowhere! The Gentleman doing it has been in a wheelchair since he was about 8 after he fell out of a tree, he must be at least in his late 40's. I got to spend about 4 hours with him on Thursday watching him work. It was great and I should have paid him for the honor of watching. The other half of the shop was a gun smith that played an acoustic guitar the entire time I was there. Adding that and the warmth of the wood stove, I could have moved in. This is the pattern that I have asked him to follow. I know it is not in anyway correct, but my truck is so plain it needed a little bling to give it some eye appeal. I should have the real pictures next week. The door panels will have black with white pleats. Wayne spent about six hours just getting the seat springs corrected. The seat had been recovered and they tried the old add carpet to build it up. He takes a seat down to the bare frame, repairs it, paints it and then covers it. I really think it is going to turn out great with all his effort!!!!!!
In the end the original picture of the Ford Truck disappeared, so here is the end result. He looked at trying to build the seat bottoms up with carpet, but in the end he said that is not the way it should be done. He tweaked the springs, added some, tied them together and it sits better than my Z71 Crew Cab and my old SD250 (which was much better than the GMC). The door panel pleats have worked out any wrinkels once the interior warmed up. My dash is now complete. It is pretty much done other than a few electrical issues (03-24-09) update.
