There have been numerous posts about gas smells from Broncos, here might be an option from the new products showcase....

Think they’d notice if you swiped the interior?. IF you have the chance, would like to know who made the seat covers and rear panels.

I think this is the source for the fabric. They offer full seat covers and rear panels as well if you look around on website.

Lots of nice stuff to look at, I bet that was fun!

Thanks for posting!

The metal work on the white one (built by Vini's Hot Rods in Birmingham) is absolutely incredible.

This company re-pops the G2 captain seats, which I bought for my 79. Quality is good and customer service has been great .

Some more from SEMA

So I will wrap this up...
My sponsor had one of his employees go home on a medical (doing okay now). So I got a lot more booth time greeting folks and answering questions about the TR4050 transmission. There is a 2wd version that will work great for the early F250's Highboy trucks with the divorced T-case. Had Chevy and Dodge guys asking questions.... Those kits are on the drawing boards.
I drove out of SEMA tonight with all the other cars/trucks. Two hour traffic jam drive to get to the hotel. Now waiting for the Teamsters to get the shipping crates to the booth for final packing.
Had a great time, a great experience, and a really long week.... Thanks for reading and I appreciate the other CB folks chiming in with what they saw/experienced.

It was good to see Autometer back at the show this year. They haven't attended for quite awhile.

Left Vegas at 6am, love the dollar cheaper fuel prices! Made it home 8 hrs later only stopping for fuel/pitstops. Bronco pulled a best of 13.2 mph, most of the time with the CC set at 70 mph. (4:11's and 33" tires). Worst was 9.2 mph rolling on I-15 into Vegas (Friday traffic).
Big Petroleum based fire in Bakersfield on the way home. (Two large warehouses fully involved with stacked floor to ceiling with plastic drip irrigation as reported on line.) Happy to be back home now, something about being in your own bed....
Now I have some stickers to peel off the truck . I had a Great experience and I enjoyed most every minute of it. Sorry I didn't get to meet a few of the other CB members that were there. Doug.

Glad you made it home safe and sound. Also glad the truck performed well. Thanks for the SEMA report. One day I hope to get a chance to see that show if I can wrangle a pass from someone.

Always thought it'd be a great adventure to take in SEMA. Still think that but gotta saythat this years offerings were little underwhelming. Just mho.

Thanks for all the posts and pics Doug! And Todd as well. Great for those who don’t get to these far off events. I also stumbled across a surprise in one of the Vini’s Bronco pics. Looked like a familiar rear end to me. Found a video after a little hunting. Posted it in the Off Topic forum. That Buick GNX-S. Blew my mind!
