I just spent a day and a half claybaring, and applying 2 coats of wax. It did wonders for the paint. The paint is definantly showing some ware and sun after 200,000 miles but no rust woohoo!







Next is restore all lights, and plastics, presure wash wheel wells, coat the wheel wells in some new protective black coating, and in the near future I might order all new trim and badges.

Quick note on the interior
Being your truck has factory buckets you can use all factory front benches and bucket seats 88-98

The 95+ interior swap is difficult to get perfect but easy to get close. dash is a direct swap, 95 gauge cluster is a direct swap, steering wheel is 1" deeper so it requires the 95+ steering column or it'll look real goofy, the 95+ steering column requires a different lower cab support for the column.

Door panels are a direct swap but the wiring in the dash and doors are all different. Only the gauge cluster will plug in.

I vote 12 bolt and spool it!
