interior cost?

I just got a 97 F250 crew cab and wanted to know how much I should be looking at to spend to reupholster the seats in leather, put in new carpet and a new headliner.

Carpet isn't that much, headliner has to go out the back window. You might be better off getting some seats out of a junk yard and mounting them in.

I heard if you take the passenger seat out it will come out the passenger door, maybe I'm wrong. And it's a blue interior so tan isn't going to look right and that makes up 90% of all the leather seats.

Soooo $2000?

I did my headliner myself for about $60 it is very easy. I had all the windows out of my when I did it so I don't remember which one it when out.

I've been tempted to do the carpet myself because it really doesn't seem hard if I got pre molded carpet. The headliner kinda bothers me. That's the only thing this trucks kinda lacking behind on is the interior. Low miles, really good exterior. I'm trying to fix the center console currently Someone had shattered one of the hinge points on the "door" of the console if you will. Trying to JB weld that back together. Trying to avoid having to pay $200+ for a center console that isn't broken.

Given when the console is folded down it's not like that door is going to drift off. It just kinda pisses me off because I'd like to be able to throw my MP3 player, USB, CDs, dip etc in that console and it not be a damn hassle.

Definitely a project you can handle yourself! Carpet is very easy to swap out. Once you remove the seats, you have all the open space in the world to remove and install the carpet! Not to mention, it gives you a chance to see what goodies were left behind by the last owner! LOL!

The headliner will come out the passenger door. It's tight and you have to flex it a bit, but it comes out. The top of my cab was pushed down a bit so I had to get up in there and pop it out.

Headliner is easy just be careful getting it out. Then pull the old liner off the board be careful around the sun visors it is easy to break the board there. It will leave foam on the board a wire brush in a coreless drill work good on this just remove the foam don't get into the board. Take a piece of your old liner to get new liner material (to match color they are many) I think it takes three yards you will have to measure to make sure. You will need the spray glue they may have it were you get the material. Lay the new material on the board fold it from front to back 1/2 way spray the board and the material let it set for a few minutes then slowly start working the material down on the glue be sure not to Wrinkle it. Repeat on the other end and cut excess material from edge. I had to get someone to cover my sun visors $20.

I would get seats from a superduty. You could get leather for les than $1k. Plus you get dual power and heated if you get the right ones.

If it was the tan interior I'd agree, but like I said before this truck has the blue interior and King Ranch leather and Lariat tan leather wouldn't look right. My rear seat is gray (partly why I want to reupholster) and it doesn't look right in that interior. I'm thinking blue or black would be the only thing to look right in there.

Plus those seats are going for $2000 and up for a set online.

Thinking about buying the carpet tonight from that ACC website that was posted above. Should I get the mass backed or not? It's like another $100

I know someone over on the Nation put tan seats in his blue interior OBS. Added some tan accents in other spots of the interior and it looks GOOD
here is some of his pics http://powerstrokenation.com/forums/...ht=tan+leather

Carpet is a 10 min job once the seat are out(a 15 min job)

Headliner is SUPER simple. I just did my bronco one. Costed me UNDER $25

Me too. That blue and tan looks pretty good together! It's a pretty unique interior. I wonder what year SD those seats are out of.
