The owner just wants to run the Raptor liner and rubber floor mats on each side. Pop a drain plug and rinse out the floor occasionally and vacuum the mat. Since it is intended to be a hunting truck he didn't want carpet.

Nothing major gets accomplished but just a lot of little things.

Doors finally hung and one fender installed. Door panels ready to go on and the lower coated kick panel turned out good.
@WoodsTruck I may have to get a petition started to keep this beautiful little truck from being used as a hunting truck 
But really... wow. That looks great.

I'll pass that along.
Doors are picky and slow. One is done, the other should go faster.

Ok, another summer is fast approaching.
Question on upgrading the anemic alternator to a GM higher output from a Camaro. Any suggestions on how this gets wired up the best?
Power Steering: Current set up is stock height with manual box. Owner is interested in PS but may lift/gear/tire the truck sometime. Any options other than factory PS for that age truck, or lift 3-4" and go with a cross over system using a newer IFS box?
Thanks for looking

If you're going to lift it anyway, go with Hysteer. But you don't have to. I ran a 3" lift for years with the stock steering. I also had am 82 4x4 for a while with 33s, 3" lift, and manual steering.
