Re: show us your interior
Deneen- that's ok, what you posted is good and the 57" measurement. I'm thinking about installing as wide of seat as possible and possibly moving the column and dash cluster over so I can put both my kids seats in the truck and fit the wife!
Your interior looks great and the seat looks very nice in the truck. Q: The top edge of your seat prob has about an inch on each side right? I'm going to try and keep a list of possible donor candidates for when I start my search for the right seat. |
Re: show us your interior
Yes, about 1" on each side. Wow, moving the instrument cluster? that'd be a chore. Actually, with the seat being a little off to the steering wheel, really doesn't bother me. Our grand daughters booster seat takes up the entire center as one could imagine. I paid about 300 for the seat at a salvage yard. Funny thing is, I wanted a Tan seat~ I must be color blind as I thought it was Tan, then found out it was actually Beige:( It's OK though. I'll be curious as to what you come up with;)

I am still a ways away from even starting my interior but I plan to keep a pretty detailed build along the way. |

It takes a lil work for them to get heated function going but still some great ones... They fit good in the truck but you just have to watch using armor all on them.... I gets slippery sometimes.....http://i1100.photobucket.com/albums/...103_143633.jpg first truck

OK, I guess my theme is pretty much a stock looking hotrod truck from the late '60s, something that I would have driven when I was in my late teens.... The exterior of my 55 2nd is stock other than most chrome emblems have been removed. I have tried to do the interior in colors close to the original ones. Guages, radio, knobs and rearview mirror are all original. The steering wheel is original except for black wrap. Updated things include '68ish Chevelle bucket seats, seat belts, armrests, fire extinguisher, Hurst shifter, and old school tach on steering column. Big Pontiac V8, Muncie 4 speed, and big/little tires to give the rake look.

Thanks, Hampshire, I would have liked to restore a '55 sedan like the one I drove in high school, but prices on them have gone sky hi! The truck was affordable for me, and I have been really enjoying it. Here's a shot of my '55 back about 1968.

Bangkok Dean, Where did those running board strips come from? I've been trying to figure out what to use and those look great.

Re: show us your interior
I'm seeing carpet kits on RockAuto for kick panels, doors & rear of the cab wall. Made by ACC. Anyone used these and have a picture?
Wife and I are figuring out what we want to do with ol' Possum. |

Northern Lights, nice truck. What did you use to cover your carpet edge at the top of the door step, I am almost to that stage and looking for a carpet edge trim.
I can not figure out how to post two pictures using an IPad. Sorry for two posts |
