Orange truck...New tan interior:) - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Aarons72 · 08-22-2009, 01:51 AM

I just finished my interior today...I've been collecting all the gear since december...finally got it all together. I still need a new steering wheel and I'm going to get a new seat but It's looking pretty good. For those of you with orange trucks that are trying to do something different than the halloween theme...this tan works really good. The carpet is "biscuit". Now I can enjoy the inside of my truck as much as the outside

Awesome!

purewhitemp5 · 08-22-2009, 02:28 AM

Love the color choice , it something I have not seen on these trucks. Love the Seat , love the seat belts , love the carpet , love the sun visors , love the dash pad ........ but....... something about those door panels just does not look right to me. Then again I am very picky.
Don't get me wrong , the interior is outstanding and love the color choice.

Thanks, but what don't you like about the doors? I would like them to be little more modern..roddoors or something...but I didn't have the cash

I did a bondo job over the scrolls cause i dont like them...

OARNGESI · 08-22-2009, 04:28 AM

I actually like your door panels i think the way you did the speakers really make them look more modern it all came to gether really nice

Longhorn Man · 08-22-2009, 05:54 AM

this looks very classy.
What made you go with orange though... were they out of ANY other color?

**special-K** · 08-22-2009, 06:15 AM

That looks real nice and none other like it.For original guys,saddle looks awesome with Hugger and Tangiers orange.I don`t like them with black.Parchment looks good,too.

**N2TRUX** · 08-22-2009, 06:19 AM

I love it. It adds a fresh look with out "trying" to be something that it's not.

Have you considered adding some woodgrain back to it? Maybe not the OEM stuff, but get a more contemporary color that matches the tan color?

I like it, the orange and tan contrast well with each other, great job!

Very nice job on the interior...

big_al_71 · 08-22-2009, 10:37 AM

I dont see anything wrong with any part of it.. I even like that steering wheel...

Great job Aaron!!!

Ackattack · 08-22-2009, 10:51 AM

I love it!

A week or two ago I asked questions about tan interiors and didn't get much feedback. I think it will look great with my bluish-gray color too.

where did you get the carpet, dash pad, door panels, and sun visors from and what color are they.

The only thing I could find was saddle or something like that, and it looked too brown.

**leddzepp** · 08-22-2009, 12:03 PM

Awseome....looks super clean to me.

Uwe Blab · 08-22-2009, 12:38 PM

Beautiful looking interior. Nice and sharp. Color contrast works very well.

Is the middle set of seatbelts also on a self retract? Or do you have an adjustment on the 'female' end that has the belt pulled short?

rcrahn · 08-22-2009, 12:49 PM

Good job, as long as you are happy that is all that matters.....

gmcdude · 08-22-2009, 03:41 PM

Can you post more pictures? I think my 72 GMC is the same color. What is the color? Looks Great.

**70cst** · 08-22-2009, 03:45 PM

I agree with all the above. Nice contrast and the colors are pleasing to the eye. Great job!

MrBlue · 08-22-2009, 05:54 PM

Very nice, I really like the tan with the orange.

The middle isnt a retractable...It's the standard belt and I have it shortened for the pics...I dont think your supposed to bolt two belts into one hole but I did it so my wife could sit next to me...hopefully it's not unsafe

Ya that would look good. The carpet is cutpile "biscuit" from trim parts. I also had the kicks and bottom of the doors made by them too. I went through 10 cans of tans that didnt match...so I had some paint mixed to match the outside trim bead and used a rattle can to do the visors, dash and door panels. The doors are original...they are black underneath

...I agree saddle is to brown.

big mike71 · 08-22-2009, 06:35 PM

I like it alot!!

Same here I dont like the scroll work. As for the the rest of the panel maybe some kind of insert inside of the chrome/SS trim. Or you could take the measurements of the area where the scroll work was and go to your local vinyl shop and have them make old script" CHEVROLET" lettering in orange or a bow tie or the trucks name or not.

**Palf70Step** · 08-22-2009, 07:24 PM

That came out really nice. Great job! Oh, BTW, your are safe with two belts on one bolt. The factory does it on many models.
