very cool, bump

Re: show us your interior
Thanks all. Some ideas were mine, but many of the ideas, the construction, and the attention to detail belong to Adam Reed, my upholstery guy here in Tucson.

Re: show us your interior
All of these interiors look fantastic. Makes me want to get moving on mine.
Hey Speedbump - love the center console. Did you make it or is it aftermarket ? |

What is the name of Adam Reed's shop in Tucson? I'd like to add it to my list of contacts. Tucson is a long way from SoCal but not THAT far for a one time visit to have my interior done THAT nicely. May I inquire what he charges for an interior like that and how much of he did versus what you did in preparation? I totally understand if you'd rather not answer that. Just ignore if so. Thanks again. Posted via Mobile Device |
Re: show us your interior
The console is actually out of a 2000's Ford Windstar van but it fits so good it almost seems factory.
Ideas are the beauty of a forum and I've copped some from here and it's good to pay back. In terms of what I did, I found the seats/console and fabricated my brackets for both and did all my seat belt brackets although 2 were relocated and laid all the fat mat and lizzard skin. I also had all the shifters installed with provisions for boots and had the accelerator pedal installed where it would fit. My interior started at about $7K with + or - for changes we agreed upon. I had to add about $2K for the sound system. It's all done in european leather and special carpet and there are NO sheetmetal screws in this entire assembly. It's all precisely located clips or nutserts and EVERY back panel is made of aluminum. Everything is removable, including the carpet in one piece. Included was sun visor install, door seal install, a push button/key fob actuated door lock system for that STINKING bearclaw conversion that eliminates locks and a complete glovebox install with romote MP3 and USB. It also included the install and wiring of the Retrosound radio, Rockford Fosgate speakers and amp. This may seem like a lot to many people and kind of stunned me at first but I go by the adage that a cheap price feels good for only a day or two but quality work makes you smile every time you look at it. |

Re: show us your interior
That looks good.

Re: show us your interior
What color is that? In 1970 I painted a '54 a real close match to that. It was a current model Cadillac color called Byzantine Gold. I drove all over Phoenix, Tucson, and Mesa looking for factory packed quarts, pints, or whatever I could find to get enough to paint it inside and out. The only pics I have of that truck are old snapshots.

Re: show us your interior
I should know better by now not to comment on colors. I've been colorblind all my life. I see colors just fine but we can never agree on what to call them.
When UPS came out with their slogan a few years ago, "What can Brown do for you?" I turned to my wife and asked, "This must mean those trucks are brown?" I had thought they were green for 30 years. That is still a beautiful color on your truck. |
Re: show us your interior
Some really cool interiors. Looking forward to getting to that point with my truck.
@tobins 52 - great color on your truck - would love to see more on your build! |

Re: show us your interior
What are all you guys using for seats? I was going to recover my stock 1952 GMC seat but I think the stereo would sound better with unblocked speakers. What is everybody using for seat belts?:gmc2:
|
Re: show us your interior
That thread was up just recently and I really liked the seats one poster had from a Buick Century with the folding console.
Another option that looked good was the middle seat from a van. Hopefully the posters will come back with pictures. Either option has its own belts. |

Re: show us your interior
Thanks again. I need to troll a few salvage yards now. I assume you had them re-upholstered?

Hi, dne' here,
Obviously this first picture is before~Gee it was horrible! http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...psf59e36ba.jpg Then after a crazy amount of work, I painted the dash and engine compartment at the same time this color to tie into the metallic red/green(which ever (pearl additive)way you look at it in the sun). http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...psd4e10ac7.jpg I got this seat out of an '02 second row Tahoe. It's a bit wide, but I love it! It's super comfortable. The extra wideness allows for a child seat in the middle since our 5 y/o grand-daughter rides with us on occasion. So there is a seat belt for her as well. Welded in a radio patch panel and installed a double din DVD, now our grand-daughter can watch her favorite DVD's when we go to local car shows.;) http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...ps68f79c2f.jpg Here, using My Little Mule, I'm able to move the seat in effortlessly! http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...pscc9cab1c.jpg The center console is wonderful! http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...ps60e3b097.jpg In the future, I'd like a different steering wheel, but it's OK for now. I love my truck:metal: A great thanks to all the wonderful people here that offered advice, inspiration and stuck with me on my build!;) dne' |
Re: show us your interior
I like your interior, tell me about the door handles and the arm rests. I'm putting a 49-54 together and looking for ideas. Did you build the console?
|
Re: show us your interior
Denee 007 what is the outside dimensions of that seat ,Thanks

Re: show us your interior
Dne'-
Looks great..does not look like the same truck. Nicely done!! Marc |
Re: show us your interior
Lookin' good, Denee!

Re: show us your interior

Re: show us your interior
Very Nice Denee, Like your color choices, I know how hard it is to match up a interior color with red paint.Do I see a bit of metal flake in the red ?
|
Re: show us your interior
Denee that seat looks great. Do you have any pictures facing back; showing the amount of space between the seat and the cab. I also would be interested in the demensions! :-)
Pic would be the closest point of where the rear door pillar and the top edge of the seat backrest is... Does that make sense? :-/ |

Hey guys, just found this thread today. There are some super nice interiors, I'm no interior guy, but I've picked up stuff over the years. This is one of the way, just looking at work someone else has done. I've bought tapes and DVD's on interior to learn as much as I can. Anyhow here's a couple pics of the interior of my 50 pickup. If you want to see more just click on my build thread below and it starts on page 15...Jim

It's not finished (obviously) but it's coming together. I love the Dakota Digital gauges and how it's all tying together nicely.

I know it was requested for 47-55 interiors, but I also did the interior on a friends 67 pickup. Here's a couple pic, and again if you want to see more click on Jimbo's build below this post and his also starts on page 15...Jim

answers to questions:;)
Tobins, the seat width is 57" from outside of the lower parts of the seat (outside to outside). There is little room on the sides of the seat, the seat fills the area. Just enough room for my shoulder harness to slide. It's a perfect fit. The more perfectionists wouldn't want this setup as it isn't perfect. It just fits my demands and is very comfortable and acommodates the child seat booster in the middle. Thanks Marc and Bob!;) Brikar, yes, it's a metallic red, The clear coat is with pearl which in the sunlight flips the color from red to a greenish tint/hue, incredible! I didn't paint the truck. It was painted already so I can't take any credit except for the dash and engine compartment. At night or a cloudy day, it's more like a solid color, Or more like maroon. I hope these help~ dne';) as I said, the seat is a bit wide. I would have installed it anyway due to having our grand daughter enough room to sit in the middle. When the console part is up, I just scoot over to the middle a bit and center myself to the steering wheel. No one has ever made note at the car shows. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...ps60d8aba7.jpg This pic was taken dead center of the hood: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...ps35be61a6.jpg But there are benefits to this seat as I can access to the underneath of the seats for storage, as there is little storage available. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...psd0f9e491.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...psf27a296b.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...ps1d5813c8.jpg The driver's seat will come up, but not all the way. If I want, I can remove the steering wheel for the seat to come up all the way, then the back will fold forward to access behind the driver's seat. As when I was installing the lower part of the seat belt retractor. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...psb4199095.jpg 59Stepside, I didn't have the best photo that you asked, but I can get back out there and get a pic tomorrow, but this gives you and idea. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...psf841d92b.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...ps8608e223.jpg |
