thomastractorsvc Posted January 30, 2016 Author Share Posted January 30, 2016 An upholstery guy in town I am trying to learn the custom stuff but f'up most of it. I buy the material and jack around with it till I am frustrated. Then take it to him,10 minute's later he is all done. He cut new card board for the headliner, I did the plastic console after fixing cracks and reinforcement, I used the black cloth headliner material it looks good except were it got to close to the heat gun but it is by a screw and you can't see it. He charged me $100 per door and $150 to do the headliner and $70 for the other pillars and over the door he made new cardboard pieces. I supplied all the fabric. I have learned enough I plan on doing the sleeper. Quote Robert"I reject your reality and substitute my own."

Kansas farmer Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 Why did you decide to paint the truck before you put the sleeper on?

thomastractorsvc Posted January 31, 2016 Author Share Posted January 31, 2016 That is the way the painter wanted it as he has no way to take it off so I mocked it up last summer and it been sitting on frame I made to move on a forks. I plan on putting the interior in when I get it back from paint than mounting it Quote Robert"I reject your reality and substitute my own."

Popular Post thomastractorsvc Posted September 9, 2016 Author Popular Post Share Posted September 9, 2016 UPDATE Still have not put the sleeper on cant bring myself to cut a hole in the cab. Back in July at a truck show got ran into so I was trying to get the guy who originally painted the truck to do the work since he owed me 3 fixes, on top of the hood and fix a couple spots he screwed up. So after two months of waiting I took it to a different shop and paying them to fix the cracked fender and the screw ups to. I ordered a new bumper from Fleet Truck Parts- http://www.fleettruckparts.com/Truck-Bumpers/Mack-Bumpers was perfect match and heavy as what is on there with good chrome I would recommend them. 6 Quote Robert"I reject your reality and substitute my own."

thomastractorsvc Posted September 9, 2016 Author Share Posted September 9, 2016 That one is to new and different setup only thing similar is the color of the paint. Mine is a Western and has 44K camelback with a Cummins 400 and 13 speed. There was a sister truck that was for sale but not sure where it went. Been looking at the Colorado CL once a week to see if it comes up for sale. Superdog end up with a cousin and a step brother to mine. Quote Robert"I reject your reality and substitute my own."
