Me to,they take 5 days to make it and it should take around 7-10 days to get here ,so next week and I will put up some photos
It's a race between the carpet and the mirrors I bought from flash back's who will win?

Good point Alan, or remove it altogether? I hate the bl00dy things.....
Which mirrors di you buy Darren? The ford towing type ones or something else?

I agree Leeroy!, those darn things seem to be harder to clean than the carpet!

No I should have asked for that,
I just bought mats to cover the heel pad,

Alan,the carpet and the mirrors are going into the pool room!
along with the rest of my collection of parts
I have to finish a mates 1946 dodge truck and I have weekends only to work on mine.
I'm finishing of my alternator and vacumn pump brackets at the moment on my engine.

Alan you are right again.
Leeroy. I'm sorry I missed you question about the mirrors. I'm going for stocko mirrors ,but a nice big set of towing mirrors might fit on there for a weekend .when it's built

No carpet yet,on it's way,
But my mirrors are here.
Leeroy how did you go with the sunvisors.
the tow trucks look like international and a dodge

Had a bit of a poke around, looks like mine has had visors in the past cause that 'plug' is missing on both sides. Mine has some awful aftermarket hoodlining which covers up the holes, but looks like everything is there to fit them.
Just gotta get me some visors now!
Even the mrs said I need them as she was blinded by the sun the other morning!

one of mine only had one sun visor!, didn`t have anything covering the hole up either, screw holes had never been used.

Mines is the same only had the drivers side ,passenger side hole is still filled,I bought a cab of a big slick and it has both sunvisors in there.

I remember our second truck when we started out it was a J1 Bedford!, it was an old PMG truck with high timber side boards, that thing had only the things it needed to roll down the road and pass RWC, very similar to this one!,
