there 10s

ditch the trim in the dash completely. It has lines leading to a door panel with nothing on it. Paint the dash to match the white on the door panels, or just have the dash covered in the leather thats on the doors. Smooth a factory dash bezel, and paint it blue. Eliminate all unnecessary things, and get the carpet dyed to match the blue in the seats. And get a new steering wheel wrapped in the same material as the seats/door panels.

***edit***
get rid of ***ALL*** diamond plate!

just my $.02

The diamond plate is gone, I replace diamond with temporary sheet metal until I fiber glass the bezel, I was thinking about painting the dash white or blue to match, because the blue on the dash isn't even close, the carpet almost new so, Evantually I'm going to get carpet that matches

do you have any pics of the sub box, I was thinking about the billet pieces from lmc but then I would have to change the gauges to look wright with billet bezel

I was thinking about fully custom dash but I still want a factory look, the door handles are stock 81-87, and the window cranks are summit brand

I really like the door panels and the seats. what year of truck did the seats come out of did they mount up good or did you make a new bracket for it

flamingbig10 · 04-21-2009, 01:38 AM

thanks, there after market and they bolt up to the factory bench seat tracks

flamingbig10 · 04-26-2009, 12:56 AM

I finally made up my mind on the interior, get someone to cover the dash in blue Naugahyde or do it myself, paint the sheet metal pieces white to match the door panels and also the bezel, cover my steering wheel in blue, and for the sub box it's going be from seat belt to seat belts, it's going to be kinda flat for the center console/seat covered in blue and white
