Installed New Interior...Before/After Pics - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Finally got my new interior finished. What a huge difference from what it looked like before.
I know a lot of people dont like white, but I think it turned out pretty good. What do you think?

yep, that's a major facelift, looks very nice!

big mike71 · 08-04-2012, 07:06 PM

that looks really good.

67ChevyRedneck · 08-04-2012, 07:12 PM

Looks great. Matches up nicely with the white top too.

**Already Gone** · 08-04-2012, 07:29 PM

You did a super job and the truck looks much better. The only thing I would have done different is leave the dash pad the original color.

OJ1988 · 08-04-2012, 07:45 PM

Awsome! White is perfect for that truck.

Andy4639 · 08-04-2012, 07:56 PM

Looks perfect! Nicely done. Did you do it are have a shop do it? Doesn't really matter just wondering.

LEX · 08-04-2012, 08:01 PM

VERY nice.

slikside · 08-04-2012, 08:08 PM

It looks fantastic! You prolly half-way feel like your driving a new truck I bet!

It all looks great, even the dash pad...I really like it. Well done sir!

**jocko** · 08-04-2012, 08:29 PM

did you paint the seat frame silver to blend into the carpet or is it bare metal? Looks like the latter in the pic, just curious. If so, concerned about rust? Or perhaps are they clear coated? I like it.

Did you install the seat cover yourself or a shop? It looks like it was done by a pro, no wrinkles, good cushioning, etc. Looks awesome.

POS1 · 08-04-2012, 08:49 PM

Love the lighter grey carpet - it really brightens up the cab.

Did everything myself except for the seat. I had an upholstery shop do the seat. It needed a lot of work, a couple of springs needed fixed, had them replace the old foam and add a little extra, and install the new seat cover. They did a much better job than I could ever have thought to do.

The frame is painted silver, goes better with the carpet than the original black. Seat was done by an upholstery shop, the rest I did myself.

That really turned out nice. The seat looks really comfortable now. I like the color combination with the light gray carpet as the others have already stated.
