Re: New 81 Scottsdale, whats up with the interior?
one option you could do is use a coverlay dash cover..get a neutral color and die it to match like tkcr suggested. ..I used coverlay on mine because of the ungodly asking prices for a replacement dash...

Re: New 81 Scottsdale, whats up with the interior?
I am still trying to contact Cheyenne Truck parts, I think I will try to get a dash pad from them and dye it, I see where the Corvette 80-81 also has doeskin interior, the color looks right, that dye seems readily available.
The truck originally came with a floor may but I would rather have carpet, My door panels are in really good shape so I thought of just dying the original panels and dash to make sure they match, and running the light saddle carpet and lower door carpet. Replacing the seat cover with the light saddle as well. any thoughts?

I called them once regarding the 442 dash, they scared the crap out of me when they priced recovering it... and I don't get scared easily!

Re: New 81 Scottsdale, whats up with the interior?
Yes it's not cheap. But, if your's fits perfectly and is original to me it's worth the money. Grove had his done and man is it beautiful.

Re: New 81 Scottsdale, whats up with the interior?
I wonder how many of the Doeskin interior trucks were made, I have searched and searched google and only found pics of 1 truck and 1 blazer with that color!

Re: New 81 Scottsdale, whats up with the interior?
That would be a question for Keith Seymore. But your right, I haven't seen any at all. When I saw yours, I was like that color can't be right. I have never seen a dash that light.

Re: New 81 Scottsdale, whats up with the interior?
We worked on the paint last night, it was a nightmare removing all the oxidization... I am having a lot of trouble getting the factory "road rash" sticker off as pictured in the last picture! I've tried goo gone, 3M adhesive remover and the 3M eraser wheel and nothing has helped at all! Any suggestions?

Re: New 81 Scottsdale, whats up with the interior?
Yours would be the third I have found, which one was a blazer. It must be pretty rare, not that it adds any value but just hard to come by.

Re: New 81 Scottsdale, whats up with the interior?
I haven't been on in a few days, I cannot find ANYTHING to remove that road rash sticker.... on a positive note we have made some progress!
New window fuzzies, new window rubber, one of the classic sound radios with Bluetooth etc, new 3-1/2 in the dash, 6x9's behind the seat, new carpet, new dash, new gauge bezel, new seat cover, new sport bumper, new AC vents, new tail light lenses etc!

Re: New 81 Scottsdale, whats up with the interior?
Thanks guys. I am going to try a plastic razor and more adhesive remover for the "rock chip" stickers, the bumper really made a difference in the looks! We are still working on the 1961 Apache, haven't really got started on the 1971 Jimmy and right slap in the middle of building a retaining wall that is 17' x 180' I think I may be forced to part with this truck as much as I don't want to... I'll probably never find one that I like the color and interior color as much as this one

Re: New 81 Scottsdale, whats up with the interior?
Something doesn't look quite right with your dash, edges seems a little to rounded to be factory. This might be why you cant match the color.
Very nice truck by the way. __________________

Re: New 81 Scottsdale, whats up with the interior?
That dash is from Cheyenne truck parts, it has been dyed back to the original Doeskin color, side by side its the same color as the factory one we pulled out.
