Redoing my tan interior - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Here's what I got so far:
Seat foam, seat upholstery, carpet, seat belts, arm rests, used door panels and tach cluster.

I will also post reviews of the aftermarket parts as I install them. I can say I am disappointed with the seat foam from year one. They list it as 73-80 but give the seat bottom for an 80+ with the seat belt holes. The upholstery from Brothers looks very nice. The carpet from ACC seems to be a poor fit.

Looks like a good start on parts. I'll be watching this, especially for the carpet installation. I'm wanting to put carpet in mine and want to see how hard it's going to be.

I like the color. Love the tach dash too. Does your truck have an amp or volt gauge? Make sure that dash is compatible.

I plan on using my original mech oil press, volt and temp guages. A rewire will be fun.

Problems already - seat foam. Uhg.
