Cleaned up the interior - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

BLAZERMAN · 05-21-2005, 10:39 PM

I finished up the interior of the GMC today, the door panels are the wrong year but I got them with the arm rests off ebay for 60 bucks shipped. I bead blasted the chrome glove box door and textured the center black, installed a new dash bezel, installed the 4 speed tilt and set it in 3" closer to the dash.
The finishing touch was putting on the NOS 4 speed knob from GMC Paul.
I still want to cover the kick panels with something and get the behind seat fuel tank pulled out and get the 50 gallon tank installed.

The dash pad was on the truck when I got it, I thought about switching to blue but the contrast looks pretty good along with the column, wheel and glove box door.

Great job. That is the same type steering wheel I just won off of e-Bay and going to install on my '70 Burb. I like the style. Your truck looks sharp.

looks good! i wonder if the ebay dash pads are any good?

86swb · 05-21-2005, 11:12 PM

It really depends on who is selling the dash pad. Check their feedbacks.

Castiron9 · 05-21-2005, 11:19 PM

Looks Great....Nice Job.............

i have one of those knobs, but is no where near that shinny

70 shorty · 05-22-2005, 07:43 AM

I agree with the nice contrast of the black dash pad. I think it fits in well with the black instrument cluster and glove box. What is that seat out of? Is it stock and I'm just an idiot?

**Yukon Jack** · 05-22-2005, 09:07 AM

That is a great looking interior - good job!

nu2-72 · 05-22-2005, 06:34 PM

You know you are going to have to drive that thing with gloves on don't you? Looks great. Headed out junking soon. Anything you are looking for?

Billy G · 05-22-2005, 07:19 PM

Lookin' GOOD!!! love that blue...

Sweet72 · 05-22-2005, 08:54 PM

I also like the contrast against the blue and the black/chrome on the bezel and glove box look real sharp! Excellent job man...

BLAZERMAN · 05-23-2005, 12:18 AM

Thanks for all the complements.
70 shorty, The seat is stock but has been recovered.

Kevin, I'm always looking for something, I'll have to make you a list, where are you going?

Nima · 05-23-2005, 12:42 AM

Great job. Where did you get your dash bezel and how hard is it to change it? and if you don't mind, how much did you get it?

Swbman · 05-23-2005, 07:42 AM

Cool looking interior, now I see why you're looking for a blue steering,that would really finish it off...
