It looks like tweed. It looks to be professionally done. It's coming together really nice.

Yes it is tweed, I got it off of E-bay since no one around here caries it.
Here are a few more pics, I will need to take some of it back out and redo it since it isnt sticking in parts.

I am with you smokinn. When I first saw that picture I had to really study it till I new it was not part of the truck and then I saw the dash pad on top of the couch. It does look good. Glad you did not put that couch in the cab.
The wall paper did match the color of the truck.

Any pics or written how-to on HOW you did the doors? I'm thinking of doing something similar and need the "Someone else has done this" nudge to get it going.

so is it just one piece of tweed covering the dash? I always wanted to try and use some sort of fabric to cover my dash, but I was worried about the odd shape of the dash and wrinkles forming at the crease where the a/c and gauge section begins. I suppose if you pulled it tight enough it might work. You might aught to do interiors for others. It could be a great second income, because it looks just that good.

Very nice. Where did you get that diamondplate? I'd like to do something similar to the kick panels on my doors.

Excellent work you did there. I had a mint dash pad sitting on my shelf for a few years, took it down recently and of course it NOW has a few cracks. I'm not going to bother hunting for another one. Guessing a set of speaker grilles and/or defroster trim pieces could be fabricated to go over the tweed as well? I was considering stripping one down to bare metal and 'glassing it but I like the tweed more.
Did you start with a perfect dash pad? Or did you do some smoothing to a cracked one, before applying the tweed? When referring to adhesive, was it regular 3m spray adhesive in the black can?
