Re-doing my interior... Questions.

[lee0123567]

Does anybody have any experience with using these or similar stuff?

If you want the truck to look anywhere near stock, stay away from the repro stuff. Ebay is your best best. Look at these - they look great. I almost wasn't going to pass them along to you. If I didn't already have two sets in the cellar I'd have scooped them:

Start bid is $250 with 4 days left. Be sure they'll go up - probably to $350-400. Even at that price it's a good deal. They're loaded with everything you need to finish the door trim.

Sweet, I'll keep an eye on them!

we got a coverlay dash cover, it takes a little work and trimming to make it fit, but not hard and well worth it.

As for the doors, no clue.

honestly if your doors are in good shape not busted or cracked just use some krylon fusion or sem or duplicolor fabric dye and change the color or refresh, depending on what you are after.

Show some images of your current dash pad. Also, what's your headliner look like?

 

[lee0123567]

There is no headliner in my truck, the dash pad has some big cracks in it, and the dash on top of the speakers has peeled up and chips away when you touch it.

 

[lee0123567]

Well here it is

No headliner - that's strange - looks like it came as a Silverado package. The dash trim is Silverado level and the quad H/L's...

But I don't see any holes around the overhead to indicate that there ever was a headliner - so it wasn't removed.

 

[lee0123567]

There are some holes in the roof where the head liner was. The previous owner put an interior in it from a Suburban, hence why it has four window switches but only two windows.

Score just picked up a new dash off Craigslist for $100!!

I also have another question... Do any of you know where I can get replacement trim for my interior? It's that aluminum strip that goes across the dash and along the door panels. It also has the assistance straps. I've looked every where but I can't seem to find the stuff I need.
