Thanks for the compli's. Its a Grant wheel but the stupid Grant company doesn't offer a kit that fits my truck with the wheel I wanted. So, I manufactured some stuff and it fits, and the horn works but cruise is getting re-wired to the console with the factory buttons. Crazy thing is nothing is permanent. I did everything with my father in mind [him saying, "this truck is great the way it is, don't change anything"] and I didn't change anything I can't change back in an afternoon. I want to stay on that path for the most part. Seat are a hole drilling replacement. They are Ford buckets to replace the factory 40/60 and are getting leather soon.

HardDrive - PM me specific questions. It was a stupid install that required some ingenuity. I'd be glad to guide you through what I did and what I'd do different with step by step pictures.

 

heres mine. putting in a highliner headliner. havent had time to put it in the truck yet, since ive been pretty busy. put the speakers togather though! heres a pic of it. soon as i get it installed i will have the ole CB back in the truck and a 100w pa speaker to get me in some trouble. cant wait!

 

Can't afford exploring when I'm a thousand miles from nowhere (Dwight Yoakam anyone?) with someone else's car on the trailer tho... Besides I mostly drive at night, and have you tried finding a fuel station that sells diesel out in the boonies past midnight? lol


Well it does look like you did a real nice job with it all!

 

i redid mine in the summer of '08. it used to be blue which was god awful with the new orange paint. so i stripped it..painted the dash and all the interior trim grey. then recovered the headliner and door panals with orange fake suede i'm pretty happy with how it turned out..but i would like to just get new door panals somtime. also got the new seat from a '95 f-150.

 

For now all I have done is the blue LEDs in the dash and other interior lights. Right now im waiting on my new SA-8" subs to get here and ill start on my center console/sub box.

 

You're more likely to find diesel out here in the sticks...

 

Maybe in PA, but try that in rural Ohio or Alabama after midnight

 

I love driving at night, so if I'm on a long haul where I don't expect to find open stations, I fill the tanks and some cans.

 

Mine started out as an '88 F150 Custom interior. It was as basic as you could get.
Seats are from a Nissan 300ZX Turbo, recovered with gray twead and yellow piping. Center console/seat is custom made from an LTD bench seat.





The steering column is from an '80 Grand Marquis with a Tempo steering wheel. I made all the billet ***** and shift lever.
The cluster was redone using Autometer Cobalt guages. I made the dash center pod out of fiberglass, covered with vinyl. I needed more space for gauges and a double din Alpine DVD.





I added twead covered panels to the door panels. The lower map pocket was swapped side to side to allow for the 6x9s at the front of the door. I originally had 6" rounds in the door, just never made new covers.





I filled up the space behind the seats with a pair of 10 subs.

 

that is one Fine interior!!! best I have seen in a long time

 

Wow. That is an amazing looking interior. Very clean!

 

Wait until you see the outside!
Sportuk : Fiberglass me some door panels for 2 6" mids in each of them at the bottom where yours is and still have a map pocket like yours.

 

How hard was it to install the Panther steering column? I've been wanting to do that as I really like them steering columns and I really dislike the truck ones...

 

the blue LED bulbs do not cooperate with the dimmer switch any more, its hardly noticeable...no i havent scraped off that green filter, there is a very faint green tint to them still someday i might ge the energy to go back in there and fix that though


yeah...thats custom haha...nice work man

 

I will be watching this thread. Am currently looking for seats to swap into my f350 crew cab. Going to use buckets from something with the center console from a new f-series
