some new interior pics - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Been asked by a few for updates on Yeller, so here are a couple.

I fiberglassed the dash and had it painted (along with speaker brackets and shifter console), got it installed recently and snapped a couple pictures.

Next I built a rear cab panel, to tie everything together in back. Wanted it real simple, no fancy designs that will become outdated and make me want to re-do it. It was upholstered in the same material as the headliner.

All that is left now is to install the gauge panel assembly, carpet, and get the seats in...then I get to fire the engine and hopefully drive the thing soon!

Hope you like the updates.

I love that exterior color.

bigblock73 · 09-07-2010, 10:03 PM

Thanks guys!

Dash is fiberglassed over the factory vinyl. PITA to do, but it looks great. Hope it holds up well.

Headliner and back of cab panel covered in same material, it is a cloth with thinner foam backing...like newer cars/trucks have.

Yellow is a custom mix by the painter, mix between Dodge and Honda yellows I believe. I originally painted it a Ford Chrome Yellow back in '96...so it has been "yeller" for 14 years now.

wow, that dash is smooth!
