Warren, I was at Adams shop yesterday and he is doing a great job on your truck, I really like his attention to detail!!
Which arm rest do you not like?

CoconutKid-

Looks good. I like the way the green of the interior pops.
I dig the Heini shifter.

Adam is really good at what he does especially attention to detail. The arm rest thing was, I kind of liked the flip down arm rests on the Silverado buckets but he REALLY didn't because of symmetry of the seats. He convinced me they needed to go....and he IS the upholstery guy.

Here is my '59 TF. ProCar seats and a '65 Chevelle center console from TMI. Custom door panels. Slicked dash and Vintage Air.

I drive it every day.

Thanks. ProCar's stuff is reasonably priced compared to some of the other aftermarket seat manufacturers. They also sell the seat bracket frame that bolts into the stock location and mounts both seats. Easy install with no fabrication.

Some really great interiors on here. Too bad I'm so far from that stage.

I hear you there 54worker. Here's where I am with my interior.

[Stepside Jim]

Since we've got the totally done to the far from done, I'll put mine in as the half done.

[Speedbumpauto]

finished!

[Speedbumpauto]

Again.

[maxdog51]

Wow!! Speedbumpauto your interior looks amazing. Well done sir.

[waybad]

you guys have great craftsmanship

[arturo7]

very cool, bump

[Speedbumpauto]

Thanks all. Some ideas were mine, but many of the ideas, the construction, and the attention to detail belong to Adam Reed, my upholstery guy here in Tucson.

[nvrdone]

All of these interiors look fantastic. Makes me want to get moving on mine.
Hey Speedbump - love the center console. Did you make it or is it aftermarket ?

[wibas]

What are all you guys using for seats? I was going to recover my stock 1952 GMC seat but I think the stereo would sound better with unblocked speakers. What is everybody using for seat belts?

Allow me to add my "thumbs-up" to the crowd praising your interior. So nicely done. Thank you for the ideas. Many of which I will keep in mind and happily STEAL when my interior gets done...someday.

What is the name of Adam Reed's shop in Tucson? I'd like to add it to my list of contacts. Tucson is a long way from SoCal but not THAT far for a one time visit to have my interior done THAT nicely. May I inquire what he charges for an interior like that and how much of he did versus what you did in preparation?
I totally understand if you'd rather not answer that. Just ignore if so.

Thanks again.

The console is actually out of a 2000's Ford Windstar van but it fits so good it almost seems factory.
Ideas are the beauty of a forum and I've copped some from here and it's good to pay back. In terms of what I did, I found the seats/console and fabricated my brackets for both and did all my seat belt brackets although 2 were relocated and laid all the fat mat and lizzard skin. I also had all the shifters installed with provisions for boots and had the accelerator pedal installed where it would fit.
My interior started at about $7K with + or - for changes we agreed upon. I had to add about $2K for the sound system. It's all done in european leather and special carpet and there are NO sheetmetal screws in this entire assembly. It's all precisely located clips or nutserts and EVERY back panel is made of aluminum. Everything is removable, including the carpet in one piece. Included was sun visor install, door seal install, a push button/key fob actuated door lock system for that STINKING bearclaw conversion that eliminates locks and a complete glovebox install with romote MP3 and USB. It also included the install and wiring of the Retrosound radio, Rockford Fosgate speakers and amp.
This may seem like a lot to many people and kind of stunned me at first but I go by the adage that a cheap price feels good for only a day or two but quality work makes you smile every time you look at it.
