Ever have a quiet Sunday morning where something unexpected flashes across the screen,
it piques your interest, so you go back to the first entry in the thread and then watch a multi-year
GMT400 project unfold? I just got done reading the entire thread in 1 sitting. Like a page-turner
of a book, you can't put it down. :0)

Your project went down a different path than the one I'm currently on, but I enjoyed the story,
appreciated the problem solving, the attention to detail, (especially in the interior) and was
inspired by your sheer perseverance. And that you are making the most of what you've got while
at the same time working within a budget. And it's an understatement to say that you are not
afraid of a little fabrication work. *Wow*

But your statement that got me was the following:



I laughed out loud when I read that, for I am on the exact opposite side of the hobby. I enjoy all things having to do with engines,
and I'll do the necessary electrical work in order to keep the machine on the road, but I hate the other stuff. (Only because I'm soooo
slow to achieve what I'm happy with. :0)

But that's the beauty of the old truck hobby. It takes all types, each coming from a different perspective in
order to keep these timeless classics on the roads and out of the treasure yards.

Back in '22 I had an old heavy duty '99 C2500 follow me home, and what was supposed to be a truck to support other projects has
turned into an ongoing project of it's own. Here's a beauty shot of it after it's initial clean up:
'Bang for the buck Functional Renewal of rust belt '99 C2500'

Of course, once I cleaned up the exterior, the interior looked pretty shabby by comparison. So I had to go there,
but at the time I pretty much had to do so on whatever money I could fish out of the living room couch cushions: #56

But I find it funny that the seat cover solution I ended up with is in the spirit (if not the execution level) of what
you chose: #57. (See last photo in that reply.) Man, if everything lines up right I may have to consider the current
seat cover a temporary 'proof of concept' and down the road invest in something a little nicer like what you've
shown is possible.

Thanks for sharing all those photos & informational narrative in your thread. Nice job!
