I'm amazed at what people can build under a tree. LOL
I'll bet you have to wear sunglasses at night with all that yellow paint.

Anyone have pictures of how the he did the suicide doors hinges? Looked back in the thread and he really didn't show any closeup shots of the setup. I imagine it wouldn't be too complicated, but always nice to see a successful setup up close.

Hey guys, in case you didn't notice, ApopkaFl is banned. He won't be answering any questions. Hasson, what did you want to know about the upholstery? I do it a little.

Yeah, I noted that, but was hoping maybe someone else on here might have seen it up close and had pics of the door setup.
you can see in this picture that he just spun the doors around backwards (swapped sides)

yeah, I noticed that, but was looking for a few better shots of the hinge work. The pics in Post 222 and 230 show some better detail, but nothing specific just to the hinges and latch. Guess I'll figure it out should I attempt this on my project.

Does anybody know what the material is that he used for the interior panels and head linner? Also what did he use to glue it to the plywood?

MD, looks to me like what is called trunk liner, or maybe speaker box fabric. And I use a spray grade contact adhesive to put it on with. I think you can find a 3M product in spray cans at Home Depot or Lowes. If you are in Central Florida, I usually have some in stock. LOL

Sorry this took so long caliber, I was curious how to go from the sheet metal inside the cab to go to insulation, sound deadening and then that nice interior cloth that semis have. That is what Im hoping to accomplish for my truck a warm quiet nice interior.

you want a nice quiet warm interior, go buy a Lexus,,its a military truck, completely the opposite of nice,,,quiet,,, or warm.
I lined the inside of mine with sleeping pad mats glued to the interior walls and ceiling, then peg board put over that, still has the military look, insulates and sound deadens and takes away most of the tin canny-ness to it. still loud as he11 at 70 mph!

Don't be so dismissive. Everything's relative. Nice(re), quiet(er), warm(er), etc. There are a few of us that have gone to great lengths to civilize these trucks and make them a little (or a lot) more drivable.

Hasson, no problem. On the rear of the cab, I am gonna use a jute type insulation I get from Foss manufacturing, the trunk liner comes from the same place. Insulate between the framework, rivet some 1/4 inch over, then contact glue the trunk liner on over. That stuff is real easy to work with. Good luck!!
