Interior progress on wife's truck
My wife and I spent Saturday working on her interior, what an improvement.
Here's the truck for those who forgot or haven't seen it- " ![]() The interior was originally saddle, and pretty torn up. Here's what we did-dash pad and painted top of dash, painted and installed a '65 Chevelle wheel, painted the door panels, installed '55-57 window cranks and door handles, dyed the arm rests and sunvisors, installed new seatbelts, and made lower door panels and kick panels and upholstered them. " ![]() " ![]() We thought the Chevelle wheel with the chrome ring fit the vintage look we were going for. We still have more work to do, a horn cap, carpet, more paint touch up, a new instrument panel bezel and some other detailing. What do you think?

Re: Interior progress on wife's truck
Looking real good. I might have a 65 impala horn cap for that wheel. The wheel and ring looked the same, but the cap has the impala logo.If you want it and I can find it, it's yours for the cost of the ride. If I find it I'll pm you.

Re: Interior progress on wife's truck
Thanks for the compliments guys, I'll try to answer some questions-
special-don't worry the seat cover is here to stay scott-I made them out of some thin particle board (1/8'' I believe) from Home Depot, cost me like four bucks, cut them with a jig saw gferris-we got them at a swap meet, they were two bucks a piece zumo-I smiled when I noticed your wheel on your thread last week Al, let me know if you find it.
