Finished my "Interior Makeover"
This all started about a year ago after buying a nice recovered seat from 72 Iron Mike...at the time I had a nice 72 white 1 ton that I thought the saddle seat would look great in. Things changed and I sold that truck and ended up finding a rust free 71 K-10 that had a really out dated interior...I had planned on going with a black interior in this truck since it was black but that dang seat was in my way! so....I had no choice!
I now need some opinions...I had planned on keeping the black carpet since it was new but I'm thinking now that maybe I need to go with the brown?? Before After

Re: Finished my "Interior Makeover"
I think it has good contrast with the black carpet in it. Looks great!

Re: Finished my "Interior Makeover"
Looks great. I would do the brown carpet if it was mine. I can't believe how great that brown interior looks with the black paint. Very nice.

Re: Finished my "Interior Makeover"
WOW! To be honest BLAZERMAN brown has never been a favorite color of mine...but your interior rocks. Congrats on a very nice looking interior.

Re: Finished my "Interior Makeover"
Defiantly,
keep the black. The brown will make it look washed out with no color contrasts.

Re: Finished my "Interior Makeover"
Hey Rob,
I vote for the black also. A few years down the road when the black starts to fray and bleach out from the sun you can try the brown... LockDoc

Re: Finished my "Interior Makeover"
I like it the way it is as well....the black is a good contrast to the seat and ties it in with the truck.

Re: Finished my "Interior Makeover"
Thanks for all the compliments and suggestions guys! looks like I will stay with the black for awhile.
Did notice something funny the other day on this truck...I knew it had the cab replaced, but this was replaced with a low hump cab and still has the low hump! ..evidently you dont have to have a high hump in a 4x4..at least with an auto setup. I'm sure a 4 speed would require the use of a high hump.
