Interior on "Rita's Rod" is finished - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Well, my wife and I finally wrapped up the interior on her truck a little while ago so I thought I would post some pics.

Her truck for those that don't know-

"

"

Interior before with only the seat cover being done-

"

"

Interior after dashpad, door panels, kick panels, steering wheel-

"

"

The finished product with carpet, sill plates, weather strip, painted shifter and horn cap-

"

"

"

"

Most of the work was performed by my wife with very little help from me.

Looks great. What's the wheel from?

powell72 · 05-15-2006, 07:44 PM

Thanks guys, I'll let my wife know you all like it.
sdkid-We aren't 100%, but we think it's off of a '66 Chevelle.

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 05-15-2006, 09:02 PM

Love that truck wish my wife would drive something cool like that..

Joe67 · 05-16-2006, 10:43 AM

Awesome, I still love that truck

glock35ipsc · 05-16-2006, 05:25 PM

Chris - That looks awesome, she did a nice job!!! That bed looks familiar too........

lloyd k · 05-16-2006, 09:43 PM

I like it, showed my girfriend a picture of it awile back and asked her if it looked similar to mine, and she agreed. does she have any more plans for it ?

dirtball · 05-16-2006, 09:52 PM

I can visualize that truck as a short bed. That would be xtra *****in'

*72CSTC5* · 05-16-2006, 11:05 PM

Spray paint your pedal bars black, that would make things look a little better. Nice job for sure.

tphsmith · 05-17-2006, 08:08 AM

ohh my, its happened I'm blind..........I dont see any pictures

powell72 · 05-17-2006, 08:44 AM

As far as any more plans go we are going to put PS and AC in it and take off that extra nice bed I got from Bob (glock35ipsc) and turn it into a shortbed. We have located a frame, now we're just using dirtballs gas to go bed hunting.

glock35ipsc · 05-17-2006, 03:29 PM

I gotta ask..... who is dirtball?

powell72 · 05-17-2006, 03:45 PM

Dirtball is my buddy Brett that lives in Ft Collins whom I forced to buy my '68 GMC longbed half ton that I bought from Mike (Mikes71). He was just finishing up his '69 Camaro and seemed bored so I thought he needed another project.

glock35ipsc · 05-17-2006, 04:12 PM

LOL, everyone needs a good project or 4 to do!

cwilli84 · 05-17-2006, 04:28 PM

Nice truck. The wheel could be a 64-65 Chevelle also.
