junkyardjeff Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 Putting a more correct interior in my 37 Chevy p/u,had all metal panels covered in cloth but it has been removed and paining with a textured paint close to what it came with. Going to take a little artistic license with the seat that will be dark brown with a red bead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

junkyardjeff Posted March 8, 2019 Author Share Posted March 8, 2019 I was going to install sound deadener but since it does not get driven all that much I figured it was not worth the money,its a good thing I did not or I would not have the money to finish it since I my job would be eliminated by the end of the month.

junkyardjeff Posted March 9, 2019 Author Share Posted March 9, 2019 Kick panels are installed and making a panel that goes behind the backrest to mount the other two speakers,then it will be the seat and the door panels will be last. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
junkyardjeff Posted March 10, 2019 Author Share Posted March 10, 2019 Starting on the seat and it will be two colors and I do have a job lined up,I was planning on all brown with red bead but did not get enough brown and had plenty of red left over after cutting out the bead. Need to watch my spending and still need over 100 dollars of foam to finish it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JRHaelig Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 Hi, Jeff - If you are on a budget for the foam you can check Home Depot for the thick pieces for the seat and back. They have a nice stiff 3 inch thick that's maybe 27 wide and 60 long. Should be about $25 each - half of the mail order I found. Squeeze a few from their pile. I found some that were stiffer than others. I also built my base up by stacking the 1.5 inch pink rigid foam insulation. Cheap, durable, easy to form.

junkyardjeff Posted March 28, 2019 Author Share Posted March 28, 2019 Oil change and a bath and I will be ready to drive it,its not exactly the way it came from the factory but I like it much better then with that tweed I had in it. Those trucks were just a little too plain for me so I had to dress it up a little and with all the panels painted it gets a little of that old truck feel again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
