I have an interior again - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Dapper Dan · 07-24-2009, 08:37 AM

After driving around for a couple of months without any dash or door panels my truck is back together again! I had a dash cover on my old dash that was wavy and ill-fitting so I replaced that with a dash from cheyenne pickup. I also painted my door panels, got rid of the door pockets, and pull straps. I also removed all the brushed aluminum, I have not made up my mind on that. Let me know what you think and sorry for the cell phone pics.

few more

Looks good man. I like the trim on the door panels with just the silver outer edge. Really goes well with your interior, and the silver edge adds just enough to break it up.

Good job!

thanks, I wanted something a little cleaner

Agree with John, really like the outer edge like that. Definitely achieved the "cleaner" objective, looks very nice and clean!

Looks good, did you bondo the holes for the map pockets?

Dapper Dan · 07-24-2009, 09:23 AM

This is what I used to fill the holes. It worked fairly well it comes with several different grain patterns to match up, but you can still see the outline.

looks great!! i use the pockets so i cant close up mine but i like the dark charcoal interior.. did you refinish your old brushed aluminum or did you swap it all out?

Dapper Dan · 07-24-2009, 10:25 AM

I removed the aluminum off of the dash trim and around the gauges. The door trim I got from the junk yard off a truck with no pull straps or aluminum

Looks really good. And, the pics are not too bad. I would not have know they were from a phone except you told us. I really like the look there though. GOOD JOB!
