Guess I should share something I am EXTREMELY proud to have finally half started, half finished in my 1997 F150. Just for a back note, I have owned this truck for near 5 years and recently payed it out. I have/had some wild ideas for it and have begun to finally do and finalize some of these schemes.

Last summer I found a second row set of black leather buckets and matched center console, out of a 2003 Lincoln Navigator, which I recently also come across a cloth set of buckets and center console that had MANUAL sliding tracks for a respectable price given the rarity in this area (almost a full year of searching!). So needless to say I called my always willing and able welder and customizing buddy, and we belted out the following.







And one in the daylight.



What do you guys think? I'll get another shot of it all cleaned up and with the side guards installed once I have time.

 

Luv the seats I'm a big fan of Gator parts from engine to interior

 

that is sweet. nice job.

 

nice!!

 

looks sweet

 

I love that center console in the last picture






it looks good so far, now time to detail the rest of the interior

 

You know it, lol crappy tire bag full of rags

I scrubbed the floor the other day with a tire brush for nearly two hours and it looks 100 times better haha. Just did the tint on it the weekend after we did these seats, so now it definitely time for the interior to get a good cleaning. Just to clear any misconceptions I did the arm rests a year or so ago just to break up the monotonous grey on grey on grey on grey sh*t. I'll be detailing the truck after the weekend, everything is on hold until I back from the lake

Navigator Leather + Console: 300.00 delivered
Factory Ford Sliders: 150.00
Total cost: 450.00 (not bad considering the seats and console are MINT)

 

Updated, cleaner pictures...

Ya my bumper is bent and the hood grill need to be fixed...just showing my 20% tint.

What made all the fabrication worth while. The ability to lay out LOL

Be handy once the console is in, a guy can stop and have a nap :P

Seats are all mink oiled, so they shine real crazy.

The 200dollar tonneau cover :P

One more for the glamour 8D

Enjoy, more to come.

Cheers Beers and Popcorn!

 

Nice.

 

Man, that's sweet! Awesome job there. That stereo system is sweet but it looks like you can't recline the seats all that much with them back there?

 

How are things in the year 2235? How did this whole Obama thing work out?

 

Hahahaha

JayPheonix, what brand tonneau cover is that? That is exactly what I'm looking for!

 

I see they fold forward, but do they recline?

 

Doesn't look like they do due to the "boom" in the back. I would think they would if you scoot them all the way fwd. I couldn't sit w/my body that "straight up." Usually run my seat one or two notches past straight up.

 

Looks good
