Re: Need Some Help Finding Correct Interior Parts!

Thanks! No problem. Been there, done that with the interior debate.





I did the dash and dash pad first, so you can still see my dark blue steering column and door panel in this shot

That looks completely awesome. You have inspired me to completely copy yours! What specific seat cover is that? Did you paint the dash between the pad and the windshield black or did your year come that way? Mine's blue but I guess I'll be painting it when I do the windshield.

That just looks great.....

Thanks man. I appreciate that. I got the seat cover from Brothers. It's their basic vinyl one. I painted the metal dash flat black. I have a thread on that if you search my old posts.

Typically the upper dash is painted a flattened shade of the interior/ So a flat black on the forward upper dash would be correct. Generally the upper dash is painted back to slots under the pad.

To clarify do you mean the actual metal warranty Protect-O-Plate or the SPID label on the glovebox door listing the installed options?

SPIDs I am happy to help people recover or breakdown.

Plates are a case by case thing.

Did you find a build sheet? Generally they are found only in "Z" Fremont,CA built trucks.

I have the actual protect-o-plate. I'll start a new thread.....

The SPID's (I assume what I refer to as the RPO's on the glovebox door) are pretty easy.

I guess with my truck being built in Baltimore and my seat being recovered already, the odds of finding a build sheet are about as high as hitting the powerball tonight (still buying a ticket though!)

thanks!

I'll be looking for it and asking some more questions (like which steering wheel you have). I was going to redo my interior with the factory setup but just fell in love with yours. You have exceptional taste my good man.

Thanks! It is a factory 67/68 Chevrolet truck steering wheel. I've noticed they are less prone to cracking than the 69-72 steering wheels, and IMHO have a more classic look. If you search my old posts, I have a whole steering restoration thread with pics and instructions. I originally painted it blue, then switched to black when I changed the interior color
