Yep, that’s what my experience was too.

Re: 1987 R10...aka Belushi
 

I’m plugging along on the d/s door panel. Got it taken off and taken all apart. I’ve cleaned the panel itself up and it looks pretty good, but the upper metal trim and the velour inset piece looks like poop so I sourced new ones.

The replacement carpet lower panel looks much better than the original ones!

Re: 1987 R10...aka Belushi
 

Nothing over the top, but I also went from this to this...

Re: 1987 R10...aka Belushi
 

Wow those old ones were dirty. Those do look a lot better. I like the wheels too:metal:

Re: 1987 R10...aka Belushi
 

^^^Yeah, they were filthy! I didn’t really realize it until I got the new ones. I’m excited to be getting close to finalizing the interior. Next, I’ll be under the hood.

And...thanks on the wheels! I’m pretty pleased with them. Killed me not to go bigger, but this is going to be a driver...a lot of driving.

No truck stuff for me today! Having a family weekend at the poolside. I’ll get back on it this week.

Happy Memorial Day!!!

new rims look great!

Re: 1987 R10...aka Belushi
 

Thanks Greg!!

Re: 1987 R10...aka Belushi
 

I’m still waiting on door panel parts and my replacement seat cover, but I did manage to get this done tonight...

Re: 1987 R10...aka Belushi
 

OH, that looks nice:metal:

Re: 1987 R10...aka Belushi
 

Thanks! I’m really pleased with the look.

Re: 1987 R10...aka Belushi
 

I had somebody PM me for a pic with the wheels on the front. I haven’t even moved it, so the front is sitting up. I still need to wash it again (since the buff & polish), a few coats of polish & wax, and then put the trim back on. I haven’t decided if I should put the Silverado trim back on or not...it wasn’t on it when I got it, but it’s a Silverado?

Re: 1987 R10...aka Belushi
 

I personally like the trim.

Re: 1987 R10...aka Belushi
 

I kinda do too. But I need to get a closer look at it on a truck. It’s either sold in a roll, or for a truck with only a d/s tank. The difference in price is SUBSTANTIAL! I need to see what the edges look like at the “cuts”.

Re: 1987 R10...aka Belushi
 

I likem both ways ...with and without trim.....kinda like a chocolate cake with chocolate icing..vs..chocolate cake with chocolate icing and sprinkles on top...

Re: 1987 R10...aka Belushi
 

Yeah, I’m kind of the same mentality!

Re: 1987 R10...aka Belushi
 

Gave it a bath. Still gonna put some #7 polish and then a few coats of wax on it.

Re: 1987 R10...aka Belushi
 

i like!!!!

Re: 1987 R10...aka Belushi
 

Very nice transformation, looks good.

Re: 1987 R10...aka Belushi
 

Lookin good!!

Re: 1987 R10...aka Belushi
 

Thanks guys! I’m super pleased!

Re: 1987 R10...aka Belushi
 

Sorry, no pictures...but a full pass with Mother’s clay bar, 2 rounds of Meguiar’s #7 and then 3 coats of Meguiar’s ultimate wax later and it’s one slick 8itch :lol: I got the rest of the wheel arch trim and such put back on too. I’ll get some pics up this week.

Re: 1987 R10...aka Belushi
 

I love how the Clay Bar cleans the paint and makes it smooth as a baby butt. I just did my 2006 Chevy Colorado. She’s slicker than snot!
I use Griots products, since I do some Detailing on the side. I like how I can get most of their products in gallon refills.

Re: 1987 R10...aka Belushi
 

Mines still not baby butt smooth, but it’s much better than when I got it. It was more like 200 grit rough. :)

I’ve never used the Griots, but I’ve heard great things about their products!

On another note, I got a shipping confirmation on my remaining door panel trim pieces. Looks like Wednesday. But, I’m still waiting on the seat cover.

Re: 1987 R10...aka Belushi
 

I’m still waiting on the seat cover too. It will probably be a few weeks.
