What material is that for headliner? And is this one going to get any lift treatment?

 

[Ranger429]

That is black leather. It's a bit dirty from being around the shop and needs to be cleaned good. I've got a steamer as well so I'm going to try that on it to see if it will tighten it up a bit.

Lift? Good question, I really haven't decided yet. If anything I will add a spring up front to level it out and new wheels and tires are planned. Probably going to stay the height it is and run a set of 33's.

 

[73F100Shortbed]

Very impressive

A leather head liner, and big piece at that. NICE.
I installed one of those map lights in my SC, Besides adding needed light
it helped hold up the headliner.

Actually that leather was cheaper than I thought. At the fabric store I think the total with the padding was only around 75 bucks. My thought exactly for the dome light to, I knew it would need something in the middle to help support it.

looks great Scott....

Thanks Bob, now get to work on yours!

 

[Ranger429]

Just a little update.

I got the windshield trim on. I found a set of factory Ford bedside rails I put on. I still have to pull the front doors off and drill the holes needed for running the factory speaker wiring. Once that is done I can finish up the interior. I got the rear doors aligned finally. What a pain in the *** those were. Next on the agenda is to put down some Al's liner in the bed. I'm going to color tint it to match the truck. I also need to buy a new set of wheels and tires but with the way work has been they will probably wait till next year before I spend the coin on that.

 

[lostinfords]

lookin' great ..scott

where is the 'rare'....... option rear window defrost going in??

still working on mine, anticipating sand blasting and por15 the frame soon

 

[Ranger429]

It's in Bob.

Hey did you forget a relay or something with the wiring when you sent it to me? I ran all the wires to the dash and have one plug, looks like a normal relay plug, but don't have anything to plug into it.

I don't think my book shows me the wiring wchematics for teh rear windpw defrost option. I'm going to have to take a close look at it.

 

[lostinfords]

man that was like....years ago..best I can remember....in my senior moments... is that it was lost or could not find it w/ everything else it was packaged w/ when I took it out of the s/c...I remember talking to you about it being not there and it being a common relay ...as more room becomes available it may 'pop' up as I assemble the crew...

 

[Ranger429]

It isn't a common relay. I tried a standard light relay and it is the wrong plug connector. Hopefully my wiring schematics will have a breakdown on it.

 

[lostinfords]

i will keep my eyes open for one ....
