Well, I finally got around to throwing the carpet in, finishing my door panels, installing seats and getting my wood grain steering wheel in. I love my wheel! Wood grain grippin' for Y'ALL in Texas...LOL. OK, time to let me know what you think.

Before Reminders...

salazar44 · 09-17-2007, 01:56 AM

BigDaddyDave · 09-17-2007, 12:23 PM

Hey man that looks great I had the same steering wheel on my 70 and loved it you did a nice job.

19GMC63 · 09-17-2007, 12:25 PM

very nice.
I need to get carpet. Where'd you buy yours from? How'd the install go? Any tips or suggestions for anyone installing carpet?

72BlckButy · 09-17-2007, 02:50 PM

The new interior looks great!

salazar44 · 09-17-2007, 05:52 PM

As for laying out the carpet, I heard that laying it out in the sun for a while helps it stretch or go into form. So I did that and I also let it bake inside the car for quite some time also. The inside of the truck was REALLY hot being that it was like 110 the day I put it in. So it went in fairly easy. It appears to be a little off on the driver side.

I started from the center hump and worked my way outward, passenger side first. In retrospect, I should have done driver side first. I may have got a slightly better fit with getting underneath the hi-beam switch. Definately punch out your holes first before putting the seats in!

is2blu · 09-17-2007, 06:52 PM

looks great, I like it

gulfcoast66 · 09-17-2007, 08:57 PM

Thanks! I did have rust on every part of the truck. Fortunately, it was just surface rust. My floor pans just had surface rust and looked pretty beat up, but after sanding everything to bare metal i can see that it all fine.

The dash? Everything on/in my dash is the same as when I got it. I just sanded it down to metal and prepped and repainted. Unless youre talking about something else.
