Now it's time to start putting the new toys in. My Jensen head/Kenwood speakers and my Load leveler shocks came in Wed. So naturally the tunes first! LOL My son and I made the sub box and crosspiece for the Amp and 6x9's. Had to take the seats out so it turned into an all day affair! SHEESH Shocks next week-end.

Front and rear shocks installed. Brought it up about two inches. I didn't want a lot of lift, just enought to put some 245/60/14's under it.

AND NOW STARTS THE FUN!!! THE SEATS ARE OUT, PAINTED THE BACK HALF OF THE CAB AND REWORKED THE PEDESTALS FOR THE NEW BUCKETS. PAINT WILL BE DRY TOMORROW MORNING TO PUT DOWN THE NEW CARPET AND INSTALL THE NEW SEATS!! YEEHAW....

SOMETHING YOU DON'T SEE IN '63 ECONOLINES--FULL SEAT BELTS. I WENT THROUGH A WINDSHIELD ONCE WHICH PROBABLY EXPLAINS A COUPLE OF THINGS! LOL
