Inside

Everything seems to take longer than I want it to. Here is a picture of the inside. It isn't strictly factory, but I like it anyway.

I am not pleased with the color difference of the arm rest to the door panel. I got the expensive, complete door panel with the vinyl cover. I expected it to match the new armrest better in color.

Guess I'll just slick up the door panel with vinyl dressing and hope it's close enough.

Looks good! I like your center console setup. I raised mine also. I love having an arm rest.

Thanks! Yes, raising the console about 4 inches gives an excellent place to hide the amp for the stereo. That's what I use my lift for. And, like you, I like an armrest and easy place to put my phone and/or a bottle of water.

Thanks for the nice reply!

I think your interior looks fantastic,very clean. Well done! I wouldn't have noticed the difference on the arm rest color if you hadn't mentioned it. I too love the console, I envy your cup holders.

Interior is very time consuming, Yours looks great, I also would not have noticed any color variation if not mentioned.

flashed: Seats are out of a wrecked Nissan Altima. I removed the headrests and the blown airbags, and made covers. Would make a couple of simple changes if I had to do it over again, but am very pleased with the result.

rharris: I thought everybody was sick of the outside, as I've already posted it, but since you asked....

Re: Inside

Don't worry about the slight contrast you mention. Your interior looks well thought out and very clean. I wouldn't change a thing if it was my truck. Get in, drive it, and enjoy it.

I have that pic as my screen saver. Hope you don't mind. Where did you get the front spoiler?

fRCvette: The front spoiler is for a early 1990's Chevrolet truck. I got it from LMC, I forget the part number. I got the idea off of a post here. Others have done it prior. Use the search engine and enter "chin spoiler" or "front spoiler". There are undoubtedly less expensive places to buy it, but from LMC I could always return it if need be and I wasn't sure how it would work out since I'm running a custom frame so...

Anyway, it went on easily and lines up pretty well. Sticks out a little further in front than if it were designed for these trucks, but my bumper is tight and it tucks behind it so no problem on my truck anyway.

If you need a picture, let me know. Truck is up on storage lift, so I can shoot a pix from underneath if you need to see it. Bolts to the fenders and the frame. Made a couple of flat metal pieces to spread the load from the central mounting point, but it works pretty good.

I like it! Glad you do too!!!

Re: Inside

Some additional pics would be great. I hate seeing the front suspension from a front view of our trucks. Looks like the spoiler would cover a little better. Thanks

FRCvette: From head on; I think it looks pretty low. I've not encountered any clearance issues as of yet. Got bounced pretty good heading north on VVB (Vietnam Veterans Blvd) at Big Station Camp Road yesterday... Hadn't installed the seat belts yet and it bounced pretty big... My fat rear left the seat anyway... and the spoiler and truck didn't bottom, so I think I'm good. Big speed bumps may be an issue, but there is actually several inches of clearance so I think I'm OK.
