Red Interior
Anyone have any pics with red carpet/interior? I need to order carpet soon and I'm split on black or a red. I'm worried with the exterior color being similar, might be a little too much and not enough contrast. But the truck has a red dash pad, door panels, and steering column. Unsure of what to do....

Re: Red Interior
I have a similar truck in hugger orange/white.
I considered black interior but with no ac I figured no sense in making more heat in the cab I ended up with saddle seats, carpet, dash pad and door skins. I re dyed the dash, door cards, and steering wheel with spray can products. Was very easy and held up great. They were originally dark green. Personally I think when everything is one color it’s just too much. Very happy with the look

Re: Red Interior
I agree. I am going all paint and vinyl bright red and seat inner pleats, dash pad and carpet a darker red to add contrast

Re: Red Interior
I'd definitely stick with the factory red trim and carpet - just make sure the carpet is the right shade of red to match your 69's trim. It's a classic look. Also note that the 69 red vinyl seat cover is two tone. Here are some reference pics for you:

The interior upholstery and carpet of my '70 Shortie is going to be all Bright Red. I may be sorry, but I guess I can always change it later if I don't like it. I have enough Black pieces to re-do it in Black if I want to. LockDoc

Re: Red Interior
Just a bump on this. Stoked that I stayed the maroon route. Ignore the blue seat for now as I have original buckets going in once my covers arrive, but I'm thinking this is going to look sharp. Can't wait to get it done.

Re: Red Interior
It depends on your seat and the rest of your interior. Here's my combo:
