Hopefully you don't have chrome around your windshield. Cause we are on hour 2 of trying to get my glass and chrome to fit in.

I got the console finished and upholstered. Finished custom building a ultra leather headliner and rebuild the visors in same material. Now just to move Air ride suspension gauges and switches to custom bezel build to go between console and dash.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Wow thats some nice interior

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

what did you use to attach the headliner to the roof

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

No work on the '67 today. Had to take the day and replace the radiator in the '92 GMC dually.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

It is made from heavy duty 1/2 inch upholstery foam wrapped in ultra leather. It is glue to the roof instead of buying the chrome trim and drilling holes. I like the cleaner look it gives. We carved lines in the foam for just a bit of design.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

i do like your interior ....NICE..

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Tell me what yall think......This is the new gauge bezel for the RideTec Air gauges and switches. It will be mounted between the dash and new console right under the heater/def control panel. Should I leave it brushed aluminum (as is) or paint it Orange?

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Where did you get the stainless cup holder inserts?

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

No question about it. Brushed aluminum.

I'd vote for one change though:

Turn the gauges and switches "the other-side-up" so you won't wreck that truck or your neck as you drive while standing on your head.

;)

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Paint to match...I think it would better blend into the interior! :metal::metal::metal:

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

I found those at a Marine/Boat Store......They come in plastic or stainless. not bad, stainless for $10 each.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

LOL, yeah I noticed that after posting it. Will flip it around in my photoshop.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Steering wheel arrived, will get the half wrap once I pick out the interior color.

Sorry guys, hope your necks didnt break looking at the other one

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Wow what exactly is that ? ...Just the Gauges ?

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

I have a complete Ridetech Air suspension setup. the gauges and electric switches originally come in a stainless steel square plate.....Took up a little room and didnt fit anywhere on my truck without look out of place. So thought, what the heck, I have a drimmel tool, a pair of snips and a bender, I will make a new one to add a custom touch and make the gauge assembly look like it belonged here.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Okay. My take on design is that contrast is important. But that's just me.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Awesome man, Seems pretty neat

Holy cow I love the Interior

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

my vote is to paint the gauge panel to match the console ..

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

I agree with magwakeenercrew2jh, contrast is important. In this case, I thought paint this particular piece to avoid having too many contrasts. With the paint of the interior and the chrome cupholders I thought it would be better to have the brushed material painted to match to avoid adding another element. It's one of those "personal taste" issues.

With that said, I do really like your truck, so you have shown you have some really good ideas, Magwakeenercrew2jh!

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

thanks for the input guys. I actually just got it all painted today. finished setup on it last night and set it in place. didnt like the look. So now its orange. Will take pic when mounted and ready to go and post the conclusion.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

I've been a fan of the White top and Carolina Blue body, but this is a awesome Color

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Well here it is.....I set the brushed aluminum in lastnight and didnt really like how it looked. So after several hours of rewiring the switches and air lines (making them longer) got it painted and mounted.....Now I like it a lot better

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

I'd say you got it just right. Sometimes, you have to try a couple of angles. This was one of those times.
It works very well in orange. Classy.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Thanks Mag....not sure why in the picture the orange on the console looks lighter, but its actually a dead on color match.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

The angle of the dangle. ;)
Great job.

I love how the snow in the bed makes it look like you took the cab off and turned it around backwards. Besides isnt this Iowa, who cares what the neighbors think....lol I say light-em up, burn em loud, and let it roar!!

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

I cut my turn downs off , tired of the dust , could decide how to run the exhaust so no pipes past the mufflers for now . Dropped truck off at detail shop , stop at parts store to get air fresher and temp gauge pegs out and steam is coming from under hood . Somehow fan for electric fans got turned off while truck was getting detailed . Pop hood and no alternator belt. So I had to buy belt antifreeze etc . I shouldve left truck in garage !!!!!

Do a 6" turndown right before the rear axle......nice hidden exhaust with a great rumble.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Bought and installed a new battery from Manny, Moe and Jack. 650CCA.
Expensive, though. Forget the name of it. The Optima was $204. I think the new one was $92...

I kept the old one that's in the pic for a bench-tester. But, both the new one and the old one had so
much stuff written on them, I decided to do something pretty silly under the hood instead of doing yard-work.

I covered the top with some stuff I used on an amp face, and cut the places out for the terminals and for
the battery "juice" check.

Guess I had nothing else "better" to do today.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Insulation almost done
