interior rehab

[adumars]

Nice work. You've given me lots to think about. So far, all I've done is replace front door window channel (got an '85 Burb). That quieted the highway wind sound dramatically. I want to replace bench with buckets from a salvage yard- hopefully can make newer seats fit.

Very nice work. Those doors look new. You're giving me ideas and I probably should not start a project like that until a whole bunch of other stuff is finished .

Just a thought on the Sirius/XM stuff. I was a pretty early adopter of satellite radio, and put the gear in my vehicles and my house in 2003. Thought I couldn't live without it. Then a few years ago in a fit of serious cost-cutting, I ditched the satellite and started streaming music through my phone, either via Bluetooth or a cable, depending on the vehicle. After a bunch of sampling around, I settled on YouTube Music, which comes with YouTube Premium at $15 a month. They have everything, there are no ads, and the receiver is always in my pocket.

Been there, done that! Great job! You will be very happy when complete!

If it wasn’t for NASCAR and football season, I probably wouldn’t mess with the satellite stuff. I use this truck for camping trips, hunting, etc. It’s nice to listen to a race, game, etc when you’re out off the grid.

Well, got to get a lot done today. The wife told me to lol. Got the rest of the wiring done, all the speakers installed minus the sub, which I’ll do in the morning. Carpet is installed, sill guards installed. Tomorrow will be the back cab carpet, sub, seat and then waiting on hvac ducting and the knobs and bezel for the head unit.

Dash is in. Broke a clip so it’ll have to come out when I get the clip in. Had to do a lot of trimming and manipulation to get every screw started. But all in all, it fits “ok”. Probably about as good as the original did from the factory. Which is to say, not good at all, but it’s on there, and it’s attached. I’m happy with it.

Sound deadener and carpet... pfff. I ride with floor mats on bare metal, engine heat and exhaust noise like a real man who is melting shoes and going deaf Seriously, though, great job. It's one of the next things on my list due to the comment I started with.

In Northern Nevada where the OP is at you’ll be lucky to have cell reception let alone an internet connection on your phone. The satellite radio doesn’t have those issues. Sirius platinum cost $5 month.

Coated the door sills with the saddle tan. will also do the speaker covers in the doors as well as the kick panel speaker shells for the front, and the speaker mounts in the rear.

haven't seen that done before. I like it

Thank you. I haven't seen it either. I'm not sure how long they'll hold up, but easy enough to recoat them, and I can always replace the sill plates with stainless down the road. We'll see.

lol, til now, I've been driving it with ripped up vinyl on the floor, mouse turds everywhere, and the aroma of mouse pee. Also, the heat and smells in the cab were amplified by the long tube headers, so summer days,...well,...it really was an experience.

the beast is done. Satellite radio and all. Fixed all the ductwork in the dash, and replaced all the retaining clips for the dash as well. Amazing how quiet it is in the cab now, and it’s definitely not quiet on the outside. 496 stroker with a healthy cam profile, long tubes and 40 series flowmasters dumped in front of the axle. Can only feel the rumble inside. Very pleased.
