I did pick one of those up. Will extend it in the next few weeks.
I wish I could send all my grille stuff off for chrome like yours, just a bit out of my budget currently.
Looks Great! I have all the window rubber and door seals. Ordered them through Mazda a few years ago.
What I am looking for currently would be a decent set of headlight bezels and some tail light trim rings.

back grill was my original intent but since there was so much chrome on my truck i had to bite the bullet and get the grille chomed too! was not in the original budget, but then again.........neither were alot of things
headlight bezels and tail light trims are a huge pain in the *** to find. they are very fragile and reall easy to break the tabs when tightening them. ask me how i know
good luck with your search and keep us posted.......love the truck so far

Picture of the dash installed after leather wrap and the forward metal portion powder coated.
Needed new door handle rubber grommets and they are NLA. So, drew up the parts in CAD and had a bunch of them water jet cut from a sheet of rubber.

Brilliant work on the rubber & polyurethane solutions.
I thought about going leather wrap for my crash pad but a friend nudged me toward restoring to stock piece. Are you happy with the tightness of the leather wrap?
Beautiful powder coat btw.
Awesome build.

Thanks.
Just dropped a bunch more off at powder coating.
Calipers have been sand blasted and are ready for paint. Carpet is 90% in, just need some spray adhesive to complete.
Did the first brake line to see if I liked it. Turned out well so I will try to finish that up this weekend.
