let's see some interior pics

looking for ideals on interior..mainly dash and gauges..need to mount EGT and boost gauges so ideals on where to mount them..door panels//speaker locations//and just overall complete interiors;;very interested in seeing lots of DIY'S stuff..not interested myself in seeing high end expensive stuff done at some high cost custom interior shops..i like looking at home grown stuff that a person has done out in there drive ways with major thinking of looking good without taking out a second morage on your home to have done

Re: let's see some interior pics

Here is one idea.


Another is a pillar pod. I believe Cap'n Fab was working on one.

Re: let's see some interior pics

Here is a link for a few ideas for more gauges in the dash. This is how I am trying to add a spot for boost and pyro gauges. Not expensive just time consuming. I cut the upper left gauge section out and glued it back where the right side vent was and moved the vent down where the radio used to be, am doing something different for a radio

Did you cannibalize a second dash for that?

Re: let's see some interior pics

Justin - looks good, 3 questions: Are the seat and the dash charcoal color? Did you paint the dash to match the seat? Is the seat cover vinyl, leather or faux leather? Thx.

Everything is black. The dash pad is a black OER replacement pad.
The seat is leather with a suede insert at the top for a factory look.
All the plastics are GM pieces painted black with SEM Landeau Black.

Re: let's see some interior pics

I cut pieces from a junk dash and used 2" gauges, after I bought them I wish I would have used the bigger gauges, o well. The tricky part is if I can come up with the brushed aluminum cover for the bezel.

You can try what I did with mine. I bought a roll of brushed aluminum/stainless steel adhesive paper. I believe I bought it at Home Depot. Basically, it adheres to the wall next to the stove to prevent the wall from any damage. Looks almost identical to the interior trim on my Silverados. I glued it to the dash then cut the excess and the holes for the gauges.Only problem is I didn't clean the dash very good so it's not sticking in some areas.

Sorry, don't have any pics right now and can't get them until the end of next month.

It's stock panels covered in leather. The trim and panels are all new from LMC (well new, bought it many years ago)

Re: let's see some interior pics

BTW: My interior wasn't expensive. I did pay to have the carpet on the door panels replaced with vinyl, buying the seats was cheaper than having the original benches recovered.

Re: let's see some interior pics

Carboncrew, I 've noticed a chrome piece coming out from under your front passenger seat. What is it? Part of the seat?
BTW, like all the rest, I love your truck. Was it originally a dually, or srw?
