Appreciate you looking at the build, I try to keep an eye on the other forums, but don't post much. Thanks again, Jim

Re: My 50 roadster pickup build

View looking into cab. Here the lower panel is also installed. All the floor panels are covered in ultra-leather. I use a home made mat when driving. Its some soft material sewn around some doorboard, nothing special.

Re: My 50 roadster pickup build

oldman3, very very nice. I love the interior, with the under dash panel and the console. A great looking truck.

Re: My 50 roadster pickup build

oldman3, No, nothing new be back in the garage this week end. Finished building another bed box and had done a 1939 chevy deck lid (frenched license plate box, rust repair, body work and primer). So back onto the 1954 this weekend. So pictures this weekend.

What did you use to build the interior out of? Looks like wood?

Yes it is wood, called lauan, I always use birch but it comes in different types. It is about 1/8" thick. A lot of upholstery shops use it instead of door board.
