Good job man. That's a lot of work. Basically a whole front end rebuild.

are your seats actually light grey? or blue?

I want that style front split bench seat but thought ford only had them in red, blue & tan. if they actually made them in light grey then i'm gonna have to pay closer attention to BII's in junkyards from now on.

Blue but only Ines worth anything are the rear lll front passenger doesn't stay up right, and driver is ripped up, they do make fabric dye that works pretty well my uncle tried some on a piece of carpet, lasted over a year with out fading while being outside in the weather the whole time.

Thanks man. Shocks in the near future to rap it up nicely. It took about 10 hours, but this was my first time doing anything with suspension and that lower BJ was a pain until we froze them.

damn that was too good to be true. if I end up going that route for a seat i'll have it upholstered, my co worker has a mint 1st gen split bench like that but it's tan. he said I can have it if I pull it from the truck, so that leaves a pretty good budget for having it recovered.

Might be decent that's 800w max though, personally I wouldn't buy any low end Kenwood, pioneer etc. Spend the extra $60 get a soundqubed HDS212

I would upgrade the actual speakers first, the factory ones really suck.
