OutlawDrifter · 12-23-2012, 04:06 PM

Don't want to clutter up your thread, but any more info on the tach/fuel combo would be great. That site posted did nothing for me. Thanks!!

Try this link...you have to be pretty patient if you order one. I waited over a month. Some trimming to the gauge bezel and run a tach wire and you're all good. Lmc sells a tach now too

Love it. I can only hope my truck looks as good as yours.

Front seat what is it out of?

carboncrew · 05-21-2013, 11:32 AM

The seats are second row from Honda Odyssey. thanks

carboncrew · 06-05-2013, 06:35 PM

I think I found the place I want to have paint my pickup. Has anyone heard of Monster Paint FX? I was feeling a little burnt out, but got over the hump and I'm ready to paint and finish putting the interior in.

Last of the two-tone pics....Hopefully

**Dieselwrencher** · 06-05-2013, 06:47 PM

Very nice, it looks sweet now. It'll just be that much better once repainted!

carboncrew · 10-18-2013, 09:21 AM

Well they've started...

carboncrew · 10-18-2013, 09:24 AM

I had the carpet in the door panels replaced with leather to match the new seats.

I have new woodgrain inserts and it looks like the map pocket will need some love (it looks old and dirty now too)

**Dieselwrencher** · 10-22-2013, 06:36 PM

Looks like they are making great progress! Nice interior restoration parts too!

carboncrew · 10-22-2013, 06:43 PM

I just kept searching the internet.

The NOS bezel was from someone on this site. The NOS dash piece was found at vintage parts inc in Wisconsin. The drivers door was found at a dealership in Texas.

The passenger side door was actually cut from another NOS dash piece because it does not exist anywhere!

I bought most of this before prices went through the roof on NOS parts. Everything except the last dash trim piece was priced at normal dealership prices.

It would really bum me out if aftermarket started making 89-91 trim after the fact!

I'm just really digging that trim, makes me sigh a little when I see it. I'm a sucker for wood grain.

Low Elco · 10-23-2013, 10:05 AM

Man, this truck is gorgeous. I gotta move to AZ, y'all got somethin' goin' on down there! Just beautiful.

carboncrew · 10-24-2013, 10:58 AM

Thanks everybody. I'm finallly getting close.

Here are shots of the door trim finally done.

New:

carboncrew · 10-24-2013, 10:59 AM

This is whats left of the dash trim.

Jonboy · 10-24-2013, 11:17 AM

Are you going solid black? I liked the grey two tone also (kind of gives it a factory look), but the truck is gorgeous either way.

carboncrew · 10-25-2013, 09:25 AM

Thanks Jonboy. I keep looking at two tones and like the 'old school' look of it (my first pickup was a 2 toned 86), but I'm pretty sure I'm going all black.

The way it was 2 toned in the front kind of made it look like it was a "what if" kind of truck, as in "what if GM built this in '91?". Adding all of the options you have kind of enforces that, and it was my favorite 2 tone on these trucks. It will look tough either way, though.

That was my idea also... a "what if" truck.

**Dieselwrencher** · 10-25-2013, 09:27 PM

I don't know, I love these solid black and 2 tone black and silver. Good luck deciding.
