Interior is finally done!

I have finally finished my interior after a 4 months of evenings and weekends. Before it was saddle brown/ivory/and original green. Now it is a charcoal gray with a heavy silver flake in it, with the accent panels being silver/aluminum.

Purchase Day: Not bad for $2200



Now gutting it, lots of wire wheel, naval jelly, rust inhibitor seal, primer, and paint to go...







Padding in, carpet in, vents and tube in, wiring for stereo, cig lighter, glove box light


Rebuilt and painted gauges, painted the inside cluster and added a new face, rewired dash for full gauges, new emblems, heater controls, trim rings, etc. Everything worked right off the bat

Re: Interior is finally done!

Looks great! What did you use to paint the dash and doors? Did you strip it down to bare metal or paint over the color they were? I'm needing to do this myself and change from one color to another on my interior.

Re: Interior is finally done!

After all rust treatment I sanded the good areas with 400 and/or scruffed with scotchbrite pad. Then primed with Rustoleum gray primer(1-2 layers) and Rustoleum paint(2 layers) and cleared it (3 layer) - It's a rattle can masterpiece! The door skins were a pain with all those ridges.

Re: Interior is finally done!

I did mine the same way a few years ag.I was just trying to get it cleaner looking so I didn't put in new carpet or seat covers.On some areas where it was tight quarters I used double ought steel wool to clean/prep the surface.It still looks as good as it did the day I finished it.

Re: Interior is finally done!

Okay...I'm confused. What is up with that trans tunnel piece? I have never seem one that looks like that. I thought they were all just short or tall hump. Did you make that and if so then why? Thanks!

Re: Interior is finally done!

Prostreet - the trans tunnel is stock, I didn't do any metal work on it. The depressions almost appear to be something the factory did to strenthen the cab floor a bit. My truck was from the Fremont plant so perhaps they did things a bit different there than in some of the other plants? I could tell it was a stock floor as the seam glue matched throughout the cab and there were no welds/stock green color throughout...I used the small hump carpet and it fit pretty darn good. The truck is a 1/2 ton "custom camper" fleetside with a 307 v8/th350/3.07 gears - which seems like an odd camper combo to me, perhaps the original owner made the factory create something different.

Re: Interior is finally done!

That is really weird. I'd like to, with your permission, take that one pick and to a thread to ask if anyone else has seen that. It looks like a low hump that someone flattened out. Hmmmm......don't get me wrong. This interior is sweet. That just caught my eye!
