Moostifer · 07-18-2011, 10:19 AM

making a hard push to get my truck ready for Heatwave next week. at the top of my list was the interior. I've been putting this off for years, collecting parts here and there, but I finally got around to doing it this weekend...

went from coffee brown to black and gray...

the only old "before" pics I could find...

the after...

black leather/gray suede seat
black leather wrapped dash / gray stitching
black leather wrapped door panels with gray suede inserts

gray carpert... SPECIAL THANKS TO CAPT KAOS!

after i smoothed the cracks and filled the holes, I took it (and the door panels and seat) to a local upolstry shop.

carpet came from Capt. Kaos

trim parts
if it was broke... was replaced... LMC
wasn't broke... painted with vinel die LMC

lots a parts from LMC...

Do you remember what you were charged for that seat cover? I am considering an LMC seat cover, but your seat looks even better. If the cost of the creation and install is around the price of an LMC cover + install then I'll go to an upholstery shop.

Your interior looks amazing. Great work!

I like what you have done to the inside of your truck it looks nice were did you get those metal door handles from they look like billet.

Black ostrich skin & you could see the thread like on your dash

Looks great! Nothing like sitting in a clean cab. That was one of the first things I did to my truck. The outside looked horrible(still does kinda) but the inside was nice and clean. Hey it's the only thing you see when driving it. Once again. looks real good!

77BBGMC · 07-20-2011, 12:17 AM

Looks much better, nice work!

A huge improvement. Nice!

Hoods69BadBowTie · 07-20-2011, 02:05 PM

Damn nice it turned out pretty sweet. I like the trim pieces it really sets the whole thing off and oh ya the custom cup holders as well

juiceman650 · 07-20-2011, 02:11 PM
