The change on the 71 has started - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

fast71 · 07-25-2004, 09:32 PM

Well, I have started the change ,,,,,,,That didnt sound right

I pulled the 60 40 seat out today and tomorrow i will pick up my org seat from the trim shop . I put new carpet in the truck over 4 years ago . I ordered it from ACC and the color was gray . after the first year the color went from gray to copper in a few places . when i bought the truck back last year I decided to go with tan insides so I dyed the carpet brown . it did okay but after a year some of those light spot were coming back . Today I went to the local Walmart and bought 2 Ritz dye packs (brown) . I was trying to figure out how I was going to apply the dye and then I got the idea I needed . I got my chemical pump sprayer and filled it with HOT water and the dye . Worked great . Its to dark to get pics so I will post tomorrow.
on the slider deal ,well I started tinting the solid rear glass tonight and hopefully I will install tomorrow . Since its my birthday tomorrow my wife said I could let the yard work go another day and finish my truck ,,, I ment I told my wife I was going to let the yard wait my truck was more important

Be original, go OE

fast71 · 07-26-2004, 10:32 AM

Thanks Shane!!
Okay here is some pics ,, I still havent gotten the seat . I will pick it up at noon today.
the center hump covered really good but the pass. side floor board didnt do as good as I wished . It does look a hell of alot better than it did and that will be hidden under the mat.

the solid org glass looks alot better to me ,,I think

fast71 · 07-26-2004, 10:34 AM

That carpet use to be gray !!!!!!

Putter · 07-26-2004, 11:04 AM

Hey Fast71....quick question?! Is that dash pad a factory color (saddle) or a custom color? I want to change mine from the factory green to a light tan/brown and yours is about what I am looking for.

fast71 · 07-26-2004, 11:19 AM

no that pad ws my old green one that was all busted up so I painted it to look a little better . I bought a factory one from a board member a while back and installed it. the door panels I painted .I got the paint at home depot . I still might have the can . I will see and get you the color.

fast71 · 07-26-2004, 11:21 AM

I will see if I can get a better shot of the new pad later when the sun isnt shining on the dash

fast71 · 07-26-2004, 12:12 PM

here try this on the dash pad

Putter · 07-26-2004, 12:18 PM

So the pad in this picture (above) is the factory one you bought from a member?
Yes, if you could get me the color you used on the doors, I would appreciate it. The Home Depot is just down the street. I have metal door panels, so I can just paint them the color I need. Thanks for the information.
