85 Silverado Interior Help
 
3 Attachment(s)
I would like to redo the interion of my truck but don't know what if any replacement parts are available.
I'm sure some of it can be cleaned but I doubt if the plastic can be repainted.
Here are a few photo's of the ugly colored interior. Maybe you can tell me what parts of the doors are available as a new part? What is that vent in the door for?
The seat is in perfect condition and so is the top of the dash.
The guy I got the truck from took out the ashtray because it wouldn't stay closed and I don't know how to reinstall it, is there any instructions on how 2?

Looks like mine :)..I think you can repaint the panels but do it lightly so you dont loose the texture. Not sure on re-pops

Where did you get the new carpet and the seat?

Same color interior as mine. My Silverado has a velour seat, though. There is plenty of reproduction interior stuff. See the vendors that sponser this site.

I want your dash pad! Compared to mine, it's perfect!!

I really like the split bench, what is it out of? What kind of mods to the rails?

Ditto on the seat! That thing is great! Where did you get it?

LMC has most all you need.. you could re dye the door panels themselves and use them over as well as your dash pad if its not cracked up

I agree that you can use the panel oveer again, but you might want to check to make sure that they aren't starting to deteriorate. Plastic in those days is not what it is today and I know LMC has nearly everything you need.
