Re: photos of leather interiors

I too would like to see some.
I am thinking of having custom seat covers made for my 68, Black leather with factory houndstooth inserts.

Re: photos of leather interiors

Saw this one on ebay http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Chevr...item4160f86604and kind of like the saddle/sand combo. I think it would look even better on a truck that was a different color like black. Here is a couple pics but the link has a bunch more..

Yep, they are the factory 68' seats redone. I take no credit for the creativity. I told the shop owner I had no creative vision and left everything to his discretion. I only asked that it matched the exterior color. I was worried when he started talking about ostrich but I didn't question it. A week later I was blown away by what he had done. His work included the carpet, dash pad, visors, shifter boot and custom door panels.

This is the before shot:

It was done by Ralph's Upholstery in Elgin Texas. It's family owned and been in business for over 40 years. Ralph's dad started it and he grew up in the shop. His dad past away while he was working on my interior. Rather than delay, he worked late to get it to me by the promised date. It was totally his decision. I didn't push him at all. The morning after he finished it I won $500 at a local car show. Everyone loved the interior

Re: photos of leather interiors

That is an amazing transformation! I mean the door panels and how he tied everything together tastefully is awesome!

I have red on red vinyl on my buddy buckets in about as good a condition as your 'before' shots show but I'm thinking about doing something different and unique like yours. That definitely takes it to the next level!
