interior done finally
The interior is finally done after a lot of work. Replaced the floor boards and and lower pillars. Painted the inside to the stock metallic fawn. It's a 65 but went with the darker brown dash that was introduced in the 66 model year.

Re: interior done finally
Looks good. What is that wire coming down the trans tunnel? Is that the reverse switch? If so can you take a closeup pic of the switch and how it mounts? I have a 4 speed as well, but no reverse switch. But i have the backup lights.
Thanks |

Re: interior done finally
Those seats are going to be a little tough on the 'ol posterior, aren't they?
 Looking good btw.

Re: interior done finally
that looks real nice - quick question for you - I'm in the middle of swapping in the mid-60's poncho vac gauge. Did you find you needed to lower the gauge cup and drill some new holes to make it all fit right? I am. And that's ok, just curious. Trying to make it line up appropriately and hid the needle fulcrum. Think just about have it. Having a hard time finding vac hose to fit the old gauge too!! All seem too big or too little from the basic auto parts chains. Truck looks real nice!
Btw - would love to see a close up of the vac gauge - trying to decide also if I want to re-paint the strip because it's faded - I thought it was green/yellow/red, but the more I look I can't tell if it's just a little green then a lot o yellow... EDIT #2 (sorry) Did you paint the inside of the tin matching puke green like chevy or leave it the blue tint like it came from Pontiac?? I am curious becuase I don't want that one to glow blue when the rest is green.....

Re: interior done finally
I did have to drill new holes as low as I could To get the pontiac vac gauge to line up right.

Re: interior done finally
I did replace the center hump because the truck used to be a three speed and had to go with the high hump. I had to go to a wrecking yard to get the pieces I needed because you need the piece in front of the removable hump as well. I don't think your going to find any after market panels.
