I need to come check this thing out! I do recall trying to talk you into the very same truck at the firepunk drags...
I finally gave into the temptation. It should be a decent street/strip truck.

Where at in jeffersonville was this thing? It had been on Craigslist for a little while. Looks like a really neat project for you, look forward to seeing your progress.
I pulled the dash out this weekend. I didn't remember to get any before pictures, but it was destroyed. I'm not entirely sure what I'm going to do with the interior, but I know I want this truck to remain as light as possible. I may just make some brackets to hold what I want to keep and get rid of the rest. If I don't go that route, I'll probably build a dash for it.
Next step is to get some bucket seats ordered. Anyone recommend a specific brand/type? There's tons of options out there, but I'm somewhat concerned with how I'll fit around the shoulders. I'm 6'2" and 250 lbs with pretty wide shoulders and this truck will remain a driver, so I want the seats to be somewhat comfortable.
Other than that, parts are starting to trickle in, so hopefully I can put a pretty decent dent in the punch list next weekend.
I met the guy at the Flyin J so I can't really say. I got the impression that it changed hands between a couple of different people while it was up there. It kind of sounded like a group of buddies was working on it at the same time and each of them had it for a while? I don't know, the title/carfax doesn't confirm that theory.
I bought a set of LT1 corbeau seats for mine.
The brackets will bolt up to your frame.
