WE used burlap under the foam. The wife and I went to a local upholstery supply house, got a good price on every thing needed and they were a wealth of information. here's a couple of pics.

I used Mike at MikeCo (805) 482-1725, he is very knowledgable when it comes to our vehicles

The breaker resets on its own.

I recall a while back Sniper commented on an old mechanics trick of using brake fluid on valves to free them up this might work on the lifters. Do you know if the lifters are locked up or is it the valves? I think I would try to isolate the problem then move forward.

Here's what I did.

Outstanding! love your choice of wheels

Gotta Love it, Welcome to your new adventure. Right place to get answers, sounds like you got a plan. Get as many books that you can that cover your truck and post questions

Welcome, if you want a specific car you just have to look around how hard and how far is up to you. Happy hunting

What are you selling?

Cool truck, your at the right site for info on your truck

There are vendors out there that will sow up seat covers, so you are not limited to a local upholstery shop. A couple of years ago I got prices from some local shops to redo the interior on my 63 Doge Dart GT. Bought sown up seat covers from Legendary, all other items we got from the local upholstery supply house (burlap, foam, glue, hog rings). The wife and I spent a couple of days on the project and spent less than half the cost of having a shop do the work. Here's some pics

Nice, very nice

I've had this setup for several years, Offy intake, 2 stock carbs (no choke) with fenton dual exhaust manifolds. It starts and runs better than it did with one carb, I'm very pleased with the performance and how trouble free the setup has been.

Welcome, very nice ride

This just reminded me, as a kid my dad would use a slight coat of grease on both sides of a copper gasket with no issues. So I did the same for many years until I started to read and follow the manufactures gasket instructions.
