Thanks subtle!- I'm assuming they use spray glue to hold the headliner up and to hold the suede to the metal?. Last question, did they install suede "before" or after all glass was installed???

Damn that looks sweet. I may have to break out the leather tools, and do my dash like that.

c10crazy, They did use 3M Super 90 spray glue. I applied 1/8 inch thick foam to the cab, then they covered that in some thin soft carpet then applied the suede. The suede was installed after the glass was in. We tucked the edges of the suede behind the seal using a panel pry tool.

See...I told you it was a nasty amount of change on the rolling-tab. This thing is being fed more quarters than a slot machine. Dean has a list of things for me to do to it once it gets out of the interior department, and I am more than a little scared!!! What if I scratch something??? Holy Cow! I think I need to wear one of those white comtamination suits....not to protect me...but to protect the truck!!!

Oh, but there is more.....the innerds of the cab are lined with Dynamat also(everywhere).
Picture this....
Metal floor
..Then a layer of Dynamat....
.....THEN a layer of DynaPad (like 1/2 thick)
..........T H E N a top layer of imported German wool carpet.....

The floor of this thing feels like you are stepping on a fresh loaf of bread!

He will have to install a tach to verify that the thing is even RUNNING!

[subtle71]

Putter, you're killin' me! lmao I make one comment trying to save the fresh paint from an uncovered belt buckle and I never hear the end of it!! lol

On the floor, I am just substituting the old underlayment material for the DynaPad. If it cushions the flooring and helps control any outside noise, that's even better.

Nope! That's what mild cams are for!! ha

[Putter]

How will you even HEAR the cam?? I saw the speakers. PLUS you have yet to metion what goes UNDER the seat. (I will leave that to you).

Man, I gotta' get a good job like Dean's. This government stuff just ain't cuttin' it.

Sorry, I was thinking about the rough idle of the mild cam. And as far as the four 8" subs under the seat, that will just be reinforcement for the seat message system. Forgot to mention that.

subtle71- where did you buy 1/8" foam?

Looks great! I got a set of Roddoors for Christmas so I'm trying to decide what to cover them in. This gives me some ideas.

I'd say you can get it anywhere upholstry materials are sold.
Heck, Hancock Fabric should even have it. I have used some that is a roll. Like 3 ft. wide and X-ft long on a roll. Bought by the yard.

[Longhorn Al]

Wow, that's a lot of dimes to save up. I'd like to see the seats when they're done too.

chevy_fatman, ditched the e-brake a few years ago! Welcome to the land of flatness. Oh, and I have only gotten to put about 1000 miles on the truck over the past 6 years, since I purchased it.

On the gauge bezel, it is just the basic one that I bought to replace the old one where a previous owner felt it necessary to add a cable remote operated passenger mirror to the original one. I taped off the chrome on the new one and sprayed it with a vinyl paint that matched the sand colored vinyl that I had on the door panels. I used that same vinyl paint to spray the dash pad.
