sweet looking truck man... have any pics of the inside?

**Hart_Rod** · 09-03-2010, 09:28 AM

Outstanding job on the CC! I don't think you could have picked a better color,

mooseknuckles · 09-03-2010, 09:35 AM

thats awesome...beautifull truck man!

*nbpro* · 09-03-2010, 10:58 AM

Real nice looking truck before and after. I guess we all have those times when things don't work out exactly the way we plan. Look at it this way, you have a real nice truck, and no holes in your walls lol.

WigglesTheHoly · 09-03-2010, 04:46 PM

I wasn't a big fan of the crews but you have changed my mind damn I love it with that orange and the drop

classicchev · 09-03-2010, 08:35 PM

Thanks for all the comments. My wife has renamed it "Clifford", as in the big red(orange) DOG. If you know the story you will get the her point.

Anyways Im pleased with the final product, color turned out great with the gold pearl in the clear, interior is great, tons of compliments too.

Hopefully I make it onto Porterbuilts website as I have the first narrowed set of tublular A arms in existance.

I will pull it out tomorrow and get some pics of the interior.

They are posted somewhere on here, but I will put them here too. Still trying to figure out a color scheme for door panels and the dash.

SBTork · 10-29-2010, 02:07 AM

very nice, I love those NBS Caddy seats.

justpball · 10-29-2010, 09:17 AM

talk to stitch about the door panel and dash cover, he makes top notch stuff for them, and I am sure he can match the color of your seats

Jonboy · 10-29-2010, 09:20 AM

That, or dye the dash and door panels to match the seats, and have the inserts covered to match. Looks great, though.

classicchev · 10-29-2010, 09:28 AM

Dash has been dyed, door panels too, but the panels did not turn out quit right.
Plush I need to find the proper Dash pad because this one is out of a 91.
I have talked to Stitch, but I need to figure out some design to bring it together.

Devillusion · 12-04-2010, 05:21 PM

Any updates? I'd love to see a build thread as I plan to build something very simular here very soon. Nice truck...

babyJay · 12-04-2010, 08:23 PM

I like it!

Sorry, no real updates or changed to the truck. Drove it and enjoyed it for the last weekends before the snow came. Only a nice original dash so dye, so I can put the correct year in.

I really did not take alot of pictures of the work I did, just a ton of work done to it.

Still trying to decide what Im going to do for the panels.

Darren

bctom · 12-13-2010, 04:08 PM

Okay, here's my 2 cent opinion on the door panels, under the less is more category:

Matching leather replacing the velour inserts, and recovering the padded arm rest.
Dye the hard plastic to match the leather cover.
On the front doors leave the fake wood trim.
Replace the carpet piece on the lower door to match the dark brown on the floor.

Anybody else?

Jonboy · 12-13-2010, 05:09 PM

That's almost exactly what I would do. I would leave the newer (81-up) dash in there since it matches the door panels. I would dye the arm rest vs. recovering it, though. I like the look of the neutral with the orange a lot more than the grey.

classicchev · 11-17-2012, 07:33 PM

Moving this up for Connor to find so he can do a plug for his company .. Cant wait to see what he comes up with for the interior.......

lsxponcho · 11-20-2012, 03:13 PM

Props on the truck again...that thing is killer...and looks even better in person. I talked to you breifly while i was thinking on selling my crew cab shorty on kijiji. So much for that, its in the build threads now too. I meant to ask you, but who's one peice glass kit did you use for the front doors?

classicchev · 11-20-2012, 03:36 PM

Hey thanks, One peice window products... they are cool but I would never do them again...
I will sell you the complete doors and windows, I think I may go back to the vent windows, and one of the potential buyers for the ... You cant paint your truck orange though.
