She remarked that she really liked the interior when she saw the truck for the first time. I was just the opposite and couldn’t wait to get it changed out. I bought full replacement TMI interior for the truck. As I worked on the truck, the interior started to grow on me. I decided that I would redo the Highlander seat. The TMI interior is still in the boxes it was delivered in! The truck won in the first show that I put it in with the original interior, despite the worn spot on the driver’s side. I also found out from several C10 enthusiast that the Highlander interior was quite rare in the SWB C10. I have included pics of the truck and SPID for confirmation. I am actively looking for someone who carries the Highlander material. I actually found a cover at the C10 Nationals this past weekend, but it was $1300. Hopefully, there is someone on here that knows where they can be found a little cheaper. Thanks for the add to your page. I just saw this post today while checking out headliners.
Great truck. https://smsautofabrics.com/ has the material and the scrolls. Scrolls seem to be on backorder right now. Highlander material is expensive. We order our material and have a local guy sew it up.

BTW, Highlanders didn't have headliners. Originality may not be a concern, but I just thought I would give you a heads up.
