Which one do you guys like best, I can't make up my mind. Lil help!

GMC406 · 06-05-2009, 07:55 PM

Personnaly I think that wood one is awesome! Its kinda whatever you like, what color is your interior?

**70cst** · 06-05-2009, 07:58 PM

with GMC406... That wood has a WOW factor to it. Thats got my vote!

big_al_71 · 06-05-2009, 08:00 PM

I prefer the original out of your two choices!!!

68cajun · 06-05-2009, 08:48 PM

The interior will be painted silver with black leather seats and door panels. If I go with the wood I have a matching glove box door and would do some wooden door handle/armrest to match.

Ive never been a fan of the wood look in most cars and trucks so I like the more stock looking one myself. But I will say the craftsman ship on the wood ones is very nice. Did you make those?

My thoughts exactly! That's some beautiful wood.

68cajun · 06-05-2009, 09:40 PM

No I didn't make them, one of my cousins got them with a truck he bought for parts and gave them to me. I sanded and put a couple of coats of poly on them. They apear to have been done on a CNC or something, at first I thought the rings and outer raised part were glued on, but they are not, it's all one piece. The glove box door bow tie is cut out with a darker wood glued in. Someone put a lot of time and thought into them.

big mike71 · 06-05-2009, 09:48 PM

I like the original, but the wood would cool if you made a console to match.

72BlckButy · 06-05-2009, 10:02 PM

I'm a fan of the original dash, but as mentioned above, the craftmanship of is amazing on the wood panels.

Beetle · 06-05-2009, 10:08 PM

You could run with that wood. If you have a wood bed or are planning on having a wood bed, stain the wood you are gonna do in the interior with the same stain as the bed. That would look good. Just my opinion.

**rockc** · 06-05-2009, 10:08 PM

I like the original

msgross · 06-05-2009, 10:08 PM

I would go billet aluminum with those gauges.. the wood could be cooler if it had something in the middle and the chevy bowtie wasn't backwards!

OARNGESI · 06-05-2009, 11:11 PM

second

Wow, good eye =)

ZombieWeinerDog · 06-06-2009, 01:31 AM

i love wood, but it should be darker... oh crap, that didnt come out right. i definitely would go with the wood, it just needs to be a little darker

oldblue1968chevy · 06-06-2009, 10:20 AM

^^^HAHAHAHAHA lol

i like wood too..but i like the light color fix the bowtie and put it on

chuckmc8 · 06-06-2009, 10:42 AM

I appreiciate the craftsmanship in the wood panels, but I wouldnt run them, JMHO

Bears63 · 06-06-2009, 11:05 AM

With those guages the original looks better IMHO. The wood is neat and that is fantastic craftsmanship, no doubt about that, but I don't think it would look the best.

That was the first thing I noticed, but I read carefully through all of the responses before commenting. I can't stand it when someone comes in and makes a comment (that is already there) and acts like they were the only one to see it or have that opinion.

Yeah, that would be like me...something to do with ADD.

*ksjh1316* · 06-06-2009, 11:54 AM

The wood ones are nice but the question would be is this a DD or a weekend cruiser. I could see the sun doing major damage to the wood ones if it was in the sun too much. I would be afraid of cracking or warping

BluTrukker · 06-06-2009, 12:04 PM

I like the wood. However the backwards bowtie should be a little bigger as well.

watahyahknow · 06-06-2009, 12:25 PM

i apreciate the craftmanship of those wood parts but to make it fit the interiour you prolly need to have more parts made like wat they said a center consolle facia (you can use leather on the sides) and a strip above the doorpanels under the windows .
the colour would look great with cream or brown/redish leather but i agree it needs to be a little darker for the black leather you using , it would pop too mush
