What dash pad did you end buying?

Its from Classic Industries. TBH, I'm not real impressed with it. I've had to take it out twice so far because the clips aren't staying in that secure it to the top of the dash. I'm taking it out again tonight to see what i can do to make sure they stay in. its only one now that wont stay, but still frustrating. Also, need to trim some more around the vents.

where did you get the carpet for the back wall of the cab?

Looks great!! You did a awesome job!!.

I am in the middle of my interior rehab and can appreciate what it took to get it to that level. You just don't wake up on Saturday morning and expect to have it done in time for the game that afternoon.

Thank you. and as for trying to do it in one day, definitely not, not to do it right. If I could give any advice, would be to tackle one little job at a time so it doesnt get overwhelming. Also, definitely get as much sound deadener inside the doors as possible. You'll be happy you did. It takes the "empty soup can" sound away when you shut the doors. I'm happy with everything. The stereo system is probably way too much for a single cab,...which is exactly what I wanted lol.

I just added 4 decent speakers. Already had a retro radio, no blue teeth, so I added 3.5mm cables to the radio. Dope seat. $30 dash pad. New pedal pads, horn cover, small stuff. Enough to keep it cheap but still look good. Mostly LMC but the prices vary quite a bit.

Looks really good. Nice work. I’m diggin the seat. I’m saving up for a seat reupholster at a local shop. It’s gonna be pricey because of the leather I’m going with, but it’ll be worth it.

I got the seat for $1000 bucks off FB. Ouch, but it looks good. (Just for reference)

Oddly, the seat and dash seem to be the expensive things? I went with a $30 dash pad lol.

Amazon.com

Seems fine to me. Fits properly.

What carpet did you go with? I really like the look of it and great work on restoring the interior, now no eating allowed inside

The carpet was already updated (10 years ago) but I used a Ryobi brush kit (home depot) on a cordless drill and it was SO worth it. Looked new, easy, wife did it.

This is the way:

As you can see, they apply new vinyl to the factory dash. Not sure if that company just sells dashes or repairs yours, but there are others that will take your old one and give it that treatment.

You will of course have to completely repair your factory dash first, all except for the vinyl itself. Get the cracks out with spray foam and bondo and get it flat. Fix anything else however else it needs to be done. They need a straight, smooth, solid piece. But if you get that them then you'll basically have a new factory dash. At least as far as looks and longevity is concerned. Once I do this, I'm going to keep it out of the sun.

A little more progress today. Got some commitments this weekend that will put a halt to this until next week(the whole Mother of my children thing lol). Ran the antenna wire for the SiriusXM antenna. Had to pop the back glass out a bit but thankfully the seal is still soft enough to do that. Filled the seal with some clear silicone to prevent the possibility of any leaks. Now just waiting on more parts. Going to start fitting and trimming the dash next week for sure. I want to get the carpet and seat installed before I start that.

question.. couldnt you be able to run the antenna inside the cab.. ya maybe there isnt a chance of the best reception, but it wouldnt leak...
someone please chime in.. i am pretty sure i am wrong but i might be right..
