I was wondering how you got the circular vents in the dash. Im trying to customize my dash and instrument panel. My 1974 F100 does not have holes for A/C. Actually there's no compressor on the truck. Just looking for a few tips/suggestions.
You'll first have to add A/C into your truck, dash venting/tubing, correct compressor, evap., condensor, drier, etc. I would recommend starting fresh and buying a new A/C aftermarket unit. If you wanted it stock, it might even be better to get a whole parts truck. Before you even think about the vents, you need to plumb for em
As far as the opinions go everyone has their own. Some maybe I dont get, but its not my opinion. For me this was about making it sleek and modern and trying a few different things. Once I get the rest of the truck finished it should all piece together.
I wasnt expecting everyone to like it, just because this is something no one really does to these trucks. I wanted to mostly focus on the craftsmanship and learning the upholstery part. For starting this project almost a year ago with no prior experience in upholstery, I have no complaints.
I know this is from a couple of years ago, but your work is OUTSTANDING! the interior looks awesome.
You have done an awesome job, wish I had seen this post earlier! What do you charge to do one? Where are you located? Thanks Chris you can email me @ cbrady1031@yahoo.com. Thanks again!!!👍👊

Too bad the OP is gone, he had/has some really great ideas. Probably could have (if he didn't actually) made some dough just selling the ready-to-install french-seam'd vinyl dash covers. Looks waay nicer than a Coverlay...I would've bought one.
I hope he went on to do high-end, high-dollar upholstery work and get paid accordingly...his work certainly warrants being highlighted....soooo....necro-bump to the top.
Signed back on after a year of being away & got my hopes up seeing this thing near the top. Too bad he is gone. I should done one of the french seam dash covers when I had the chance! Oh well. I guess this is just a push of this zombie back up to the top again to get someone elses hopes up.
