Bob I think the only thing that could ever outshine the amazing work you've done to this old lady is the work of a good signwriter...
(A dying trade sadly being replaced by vinyl printers)
My god I honestly cannot wait to see this on wheels and driving around!

Brings back memories of the time I drove one, late 60's, picking up eggs for Burton Egg Packers. Great work Bob.

Bob - What colour trim is on the seats - ideally the steering wheel needs co-ordinate with the trim colour

without re-reading to be sure , i think you said this one is going to a workhorse earning its keep? if so , keep it practical , even if you paint just the rim black?

Yes strikey it's going to be working for a living but if it's painted it would be easy to wipe it over the seats Chris I'm still haven't picked anything yet but will be incorporating the colours of the cab not going with leather or vinyl as I had them in my other truck and they just sweat you in the summer and freezing in the winter think I might try the steering wheel in white it can always be changed if it doesn't work
