definitely not going to disagree on the dash being fugly, but how can you miss that horrible chevy steering wheel? the emblem/chevy doesn't bother me, it's just a hideous wheel.

that said, any better pics on the cargo area? that looks sweet

I really don't like the interior. If it was black and closer to stock, that would be nice. Exterior is great, except for those bumpers.

and the grill....... not sure i like the "billet" styling on the pig, but in all pretty sweet, bar the price tag.....ouch!

i don't like the grill either, but it's still not as annoying as the steering wheel

well , to be honest, the Pig looks nice but by the finish and the features, and finish, well, too much money, the dash looks like plate wood and the, overall look, may to expensive, but not to pay 30k

yep; the chevy steering wheel + wood dash just doesn't do it for me either..no matter how much cash he spent on it; somethings just look better the way they were made.........personally if I would have had that kinda cash would have gone with a 5 speed + PTO/winch + long range tank.....maybe even a diesel...... not "frilled" it up with dash stuff, purty leather and a dvd player....... hell, I'm too busy trying to keep mine on the road to watch a dvd just my 0.02...... ; I do like the roof rack..any idea where it came from?

I think it's a Confer Rack, the company's been closed for a while but the Defender Rack is similar.

I'm all for the slider windows, I want to do the same to my '72. Since I'm putting in a 3rd row of seats, that will be a great addition. I was actually thinking about using 80 series windows instead since they're easier to come by. It will lose a bit of the retro look but f**k it. Also, aren't these windows seals made out of unobtanium?

PV Cruisers stock is currently at Cabe Toyota in the LA area. I'd get it ASAP if you need it as I doubt there will be more coming once it's all gone.

the window seals for the sliders? if so, i had the glass company come and glue in the sliders on my 60. worked better than the crappy oem stuff.

If you look at the photo taken from the side, of the back seat you can see the edge of the cargo window. it appears to be the frame and not weather strip, so maybe it's glued in.

Thanks for the heads up on where to get the seals, I may buy them just in case I decide not to do some kind of slider windows. I like the thought of sliders more and more. I might need to find me a rusty old '60 body that I can cut the panels out of.....

The more I look at this the more I think it lost alot of its classic look due to color choice and wheel choice. A two tone paint job and an older style chrome or matt colored wheels would do alot.
