Thanks to both of you, y'all make this THE place for anything Comanche related. Thanks again!

Thank you! I'm out in the TN area and while it's garage kept, I'd still like to be able to drive it in the rain. I'll track it down!

Thank you, this is the first car I've owned that's anything other than white/gray/black so this has been fun. On the topic of color, do you know of any resources that might help me track down a touch-up kit for that specific color? I've looked at the manufacturers list of colors and there's a whole host of blue/greens, not sure where mine falls.

The pad on the passenger side was definitely damp. Not to the point that you could've wrung it out, but enough that it warranted replacing the pad underneath. Driver side was bone dry. But I'll tell you, since this is my first hardbody vehicle, I've got a much different outlook on water than I used to. Never thought I'd be the "no drinks in the truck" kind of a guy, but here we are.

Thank you, I'll do that!

Let's make my first post a good one! I'm a city slicker recently turned country. Moved out to 20acres in rural TN and decided I'd like to get my hands on a truck I felt would outlive me. Made the plunge last week and after much research (thanks to you fine people here) got my hands on a 1989 Comanche Pioneer. 4.0 I6, automatic, 2WD (for now) At the advice of the boards, I went ahead and pulled the carpet. All looks pretty good, currently scraping and treating the rust I did find but I thought this might be a good place to document our journey. Like I mentioned before, former city slicker who's never done this type of work on any car, let alone a Comanche. I don't know what I don't know, any input or "must do's" for a Comanche noob is always appreciated.
