Interior $3450 later

So I did a more or less full interior restoration on my 97 crewcab. Custom leather seats, headliner, carpet and redyed some very faded panels. Just wanted to post some pictures, it was WELL worth it. I bought the truck and liked it... Now I love it.

The flash makes some photos a tad fuzzy and some of the colors look way off. All the panels match pretty good in the sun light.

Oh what I would give for that blue interior! Mine is grey, which is ok, but I LOVE that blue!

Very nice looking interior! I'm sure it will add much comfort.

I wasn't big on the blue when I first got it because you can just look at it and tell it was junk. Now though? It's pretty damn slick, I'd take this truck over a 7.3 lariat any day

No, all custom. Katskins didn't make anything for my rear seat (rear seat is from a standard cab XLT f150).

Leather or PLEATHER?

Did you rebuild the foam and springs too?

Too bad the blue doesn't match the rest of the interior

Where did you get the carpet and headliner?

Did you put in soundproofing when you had it all apart?

Leather touch like a Mercedes. Seating surface is leather, everything else is Pleather. Foam was rebuilt, not sure on the springs though. Front seats feel like new, rear seats pretty much feel the same. But they were already pretty comfy so I don't think it was needed. Plus I could care less about how comfy it is in the back.

It's a nice contrast, we couldn't find a color that matched perfectly. That was about as good as we could do. I like it.

Not sure on the headliner or carpet. I know it's a mass backed carpet and that silver looking sound dampening stuff was put in. It's a good bit quieter than it was.
