yes sir I did. I went to install them today,and found out my dad has the socket set in his truck,so I'll have to do it tomorrow,lol.
The only thing that will give away it used to be burgundy is the door locks....don't count the steering wheel because I'm getting a half wrap billet. w00t

Change out the whole door lock rod with grey ones.

I'm still unsure if I want to shave my door handles. We'll see when spring comes.

As for today,I attempted changing the seatbelts. Wow...Well,the bolt in the side pillar and the bolt for the reel mechanism I could undo with the ratched no problem,but getting the floor mount bolt with the lockwasher out was a total SOB. I had to use a 2.5 ft breaker bar and still put all my weight into it to get it to crack,and then I still had to use it to undo the bolt until like the last 10 turns. I'm not kidding,it took me a little over half an hour to change 1 seatbelt.

Then I moved to the driver's side and it was even worse. I could barely get it to move,so I figured screw it and just leave it till the spring when I can get access to air tools and use an impact gun to get the floor mount bolt out,and while I'm at it,take off my bumper so I can put my chrome one on.

I think now I'm pretty much done work on the truck for the year. Weather is starting to get cold and crappy,I got everything for the interior now,and over the winter I have to start saving up for all the rest of the crap I need. I have a wish list of about $860 worth of parts from FBI,and the most expensive item is a billet wheel at $289,so figure out the rest!! lol

Looking good! What are those Buckets out of? Adds a really clean look!

Keep it coming!

spray penetrating lube on that stubborn bolt now...and do it once a week...when spring comes it should be a lot easier.

Dev,those buckets are just the stock buckets from a B series.

My buckets,door panels,arm rests,window cranks,door latches,sideview mirrors,steering column cover,door sills,kick panels,A pillers and door seals are from a B2600 4x4. My carpet & seatbelts are from a 2200 ext cab and I don't know what the centre console is from,probably another ext cab. I don't know what the dash is out of either,it was just laying in the guy's shed and saw it when I was pulling all the stuff from the 2600,so that saved me pulling the dash out of that truck.

The buckets and the console make the interior feel a little more open and roomier,and the seats are soooo comfortable. Road trips won't be a problem for me,lol.

Wait till you see the interior next year,it's going to be super nice...stock looking,but a few little touches here and there that'll make people raise an eyebrow at shows.

It's not that the bolt is hard to undo because it's old,it's because it's the floor mount bolt with a lock washer and it's torqued in really tight from the factory,because that's the main support holding the seatbelt system to the frame of the vehicle. It's 5 hours later and I'm just starting to feel some pain in my arms from reefing on those buggers this afternoon.
