This much I know:
Charcoal grey leather seats from 2003 Chevy Silverado, heated.
Buckets with flip and fold seat/console. Makes it a 6 passenger.
1972 blue carpeting.
Black dash pad and sunvisors since that's what I have (new).
Inoperable factory dash, new Silverado dash hidden in glove box.
Headliner custom made at upholstery shop.
Some sort of lower valence panel across entire bottom of dash to house new electronics, switches, etc.

Drew,

Something that I have been thinking about for all of the late model dash clusters in the older trucks...

Start with a chrome glove box door, cut out what ever shape fits the shape of the new cluster plus the slot for the column. Then paint the remaining part that is inside the outer "trim" area flat black and cover that whole area with very thin smoked plexiglass. You'd need to find really bright dash light bulbs or possibly add more (I'm thinking LED to keep from getting too hot). Anyway with all of that in place with the truck turned off you just have a blank shiney black dash and when you start it the whole thing lights up. I hope you can picture this since it looks really good in my mind. A matching glove box lid would balance it out.

Not that I would assume to alter your vision on it. In fact it kinda blows the whole "looks like they made it that way" thing.

Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN ** The truck Chevrolet should have built.

Drew, I am building a 72 Suburban on a 01 Suburban Chassis. I think that I am using more of the original wiring harness than you but am also working on a way to integrate the 01 gauges into the 72 dash. If I have any breakthroughs I will let you know, if that is something your are interested in.

Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN ** The truck Chevrolet should have built.

Some pics of my dash- the decal has developed some bubbles- need to fix that. It's been in for 9+ years & works well. Also, I put a lexan lense in & removed the Dodge lens
