They are gonna look good! What material are you planning on covering the seats with?

Awesome idea on the cup holder. I think it looks great.

Re: Raising the bed floor 67cheby
nice colour are you going to do parts of the dash and the steeringwheel in that material too?
a tuck and roll center should look noce in those seats and it will prolly hide the difference in the center of the two seats

Re: Raising the bed floor 67cheby
the dash, door panels , arm rests and carpet will all be that color... i cant decide what to do on the steering wheel , i am using the original steering whee cant decide if i should do the steering col and wheel in a flat red to match the upholstery or paint them silver to match the truck, OPINIONS ?? anyone Oh and as far as the contours of the seats they will match when my upholsterer gets done with them

Re: 67cheby DM 3.2 install, W/PB 4link, PB hood hinges
Cool. Ya mine had all factory guages. The only thing that was aftermarket was a little amplifier for the stereo that was tapped into the harness. You should see the pigtail for it.

Re: Raising the bed floor 67cheby
if you can stretch the leather enough to fall intoo the fingerdimples in the rear you might be able to upholster the hoop of the steeringwheel ...... glue it all the way around and use stitching on the inside of the hoop use satin paint on the rest it will prolly hold a lot better against rubbing then straight paint , should do a good job at covering cracks on an old steeringwheel too
might even be able to use the leather on the top part of the colum maibe make double stitched buttonholes on the indicator lever and the other stuf stickin out of it

Re: Raising the bed floor 67cheby
Satin. The interior needs to compliment the exterior w/o taking the focus away or seeming like it's one non-ending canvas.

Re: 67cheby DM 3.2 install, W/PB 4link, PB hood hinges
What was your process for filling in the slots, did you use one piece or many small pieces?

Re: 67cheby DM 3.2 install, W/PB 4link, PB hood hinges
the shop where my truck is currently Mayhews Race Cars did the mod , he used one single piece, he also made some mounting tabs underneath that lock it in place , since the screws on top are gone, he did a sweet job

Sucks about the color, but the rear end looks great. Who is setting up your gears?
