Speaking of dash pads......

[Doppleganger]

Seen these before here and there on resto-mods. Apparently some place in Covina (?) CA makes them. No idea how much but I imagine they're pretty proud of them. I have mixed feelings about it - kind of cool but I think to re-orientate the vents vertically might look better with the higher dash. Dunno. To just put a filler panel where they raised it is kind of lame.

It doesn't look bad, but not better than stock, imho.

Looks like someone was going for the "squared off '95-98 GM truck interior/dashboard" look....granted I've been sitting behind that late OBS dash for several years now.

FWIW.....the company that makes these is TMI. They also make door panels ($1400-1800/pr), the dash ($1400-1600ea) and then a leather bench seat with fold down armrest/cupholder for the low low price of $4800. And if you have any money left, IIRC there's a standard headliner for about $600 too.

I'd have to sell the truck to buy the interior.

I considered the TMI stuff when I started my project, if they had some more conservative options I would still e considering them. All their stuff seems to have colored stitching, metal rivets or grommets, and the only cloth patterns are plaids

I like their seats - alot. Needs headrests though IMO. That dash is interesting...but if you're going to demand that kind of coin, it better be more interesting than a Herman Munster prosthetic added to the top. The way that insert fits in the upper right corner (on the passenger side) is inexcusable too.

That's what bothers me about a lot of their stuff. The tarp grommets in the seat covers are NOT my style.

Their "waterfall" console is uglier than a bucket of used earplugs covered in duckbutter. My apologies to all used earplugs covered in duckbutter.

I hate TMI's dash and door panels, their seats are the only things I like
