Re: show us your interior

I should know better by now not to comment on colors. I've been colorblind all my life. I see colors just fine but we can never agree on what to call them.

When UPS came out with their slogan a few years ago, "What can Brown do for you?" I turned to my wife and asked, "This must mean those trucks are brown?"

I had thought they were green for 30 years.

That is still a beautiful color on your truck.

Re: show us your interior

That thread was up just recently and I really liked the seats one poster had from a Buick Century with the folding console.

Another option that looked good was the middle seat from a van. Hopefully the posters will come back with pictures.

Either option has its own belts.

Thanks again. I need to troll a few salvage yards now. I assume you had them re-upholstered?

One more question: what thickness sheet metal did you use for your floor pan?

I plan to replace the floor in both of my trucks and I like using flat sheet metal over buying a stamped pan.

My 59 Apache

Hi, dne' here,

Obviously this first picture is before~Gee it was horrible!


Then after a crazy amount of work, I painted the dash and engine compartment at the same time this color to tie into the metallic red/green(which ever (pearl additive)way you look at it in the sun).


I got this seat out of an '02 second row Tahoe. It's a bit wide, but I love it! It's super comfortable. The extra wideness allows for a child seat in the middle since our 5 y/o grand-daughter rides with us on occasion. So there is a seat belt for her as well. Welded in a radio patch panel and installed a double din DVD, now our grand-daughter can watch her favorite DVD's when we go to local car shows.


Here, using My Little Mule, I'm able to move the seat in effortlessly!


The center console is wonderful!


In the future, I'd like a different steering wheel, but it's OK for now. I love my truck

A great thanks to all the wonderful people here that offered advice, inspiration and stuck with me on my build!
dne'

Re: show us your interior

Denee that seat looks great. Do you have any pictures facing back; showing the amount of space between the seat and the cab. I also would be interested in the demensions! :-)

Pic would be the closest point of where the rear door pillar and the top edge of the seat backrest is... Does that make sense? :-/

Re: show us your interior

Hey guys, just found this thread today. There are some super nice interiors, I'm no interior guy, but I've picked up stuff over the years. This is one of the way, just looking at work someone else has done. I've bought tapes and DVD's on interior to learn as much as I can. Anyhow here's a couple pics of the interior of my 50 pickup. If you want to see more just click on my build thread below and it starts on page 15...Jim

It's not finished (obviously) but it's coming together. I love the Dakota Digital gauges and how it's all tying together nicely.
