That actually looks great and wonderful project these decals are going on -- well doneGot the high quality transfer decals from @63FST today. Should have practiced more with ones I wasn't going to use but ended up getting the fan one on how I like! These look great once you get them on.
The switch is a manual override for the radiator fan. The one next to it is the grid heater switch.... was debating on the snowflake (9) or the square defog (6) decal. Any thoughts? Here is the thread they are in: Transfer Decals

and I could only read the reviews on these so long before I had to finally splurge. I will hook the seat heaters up to factory defog switches with custom stickers from @FJ6T

Im also going back to the fold flat bench for this build. That means I will be selling my newly recovered hj61 seats with the split rear bench... PM if interested!

I put MLV in my 60....really wasn't that bad or time consuming for me except for the rear wheel wells. Only thing that took time was custom fitting the carpet....two months later Jason came out with his carpet....I was ready to kill. lolHeading on an almost 3 week road trip to Joshua tree and back in a few weeks. Skiing on the way down, flying jets out of el Centro for a couple weeks with the navy, climbing Joshua tree on the way back and hopefully by then the rain is over and done in Washington.
Next steps:
-Intercooler install. Probably will get that done up over the next week but no pipe bending/plumbing until after my road trip. If anything my radiator could use some reduced airflow!
-Rear seat recover. I have the matching materials from scheel Mann but I'm praying this doesn't cost a fortune. I have all the rear seat hardware getting powder coat as we speak. My appointment with the guy is mid feb.
-Carpet install. I have the @TRAIL TAILOR carpet from like 4-5 years ago. have mass loaded vinyl to go under it. Im anxious to put this in but it seems tedious so I keep putting it off.
Thanks a ton! I love this truck and have poured a lot of time and money into it, but I definitely do it for a purpose! I love camping out of it and driving everywhere, just trying to make it as useful as possible.I just read your leaky rad build thread and have followed this thread closely. Im curious how the lineX on your floor has held up over the years? You seem to use your truck often and am looking at replacing my carpet set that is 30 years old and pretty nasty. I live in Northern BC and am in a fairly wet climate as well. Nice job on everything by the way, you should be proud.
The seats are scheel Mann and are ridiculously nice, and comfy. Now with the seat heaters hooked up I'm just spoiled. The rims are the fifteen52 analogs. I waited all 2020 for them as they were backordered, but they fit our rigs perfectly aesthetically... they have about 1/16" to much backspacing though. You will need to take a grinder to the TREs to fix that. Easy enough and worth it.how do you like the corbeau seats....and what brand are those rims....love them!
Older i get the more effort and difficulty i have getting up into my rig...these Rock Sliders a good step up? ThanksAlso, I'd like to give you reason for some TT rock sliders. I step from the sliders to the top of the tire with one hand in the roof rack. Great access. Drop the tailgate, close the lift gate, boom! Need to climb up there? The tire carrier and or jerry can/ cooler carrier is good enough. Just trying to help.
Yep and handy for cleaning the windshield and as a handle to pull my fat arse out from underneath. Sometimes when a sketchy downhill section needs a closer look, I just open the door and stand on the slider. I'm not used to getting old, it sucks.Older i get the more effort and difficulty i have getting up into my rig...these Rock Sliders a good step up? Thanks
