I've already dynomatted my interior tho. I still need to order new carpet(black) new headliner. I have a set of lightning seats out of one of our 6 lightnings lol and my original bench seat that's been recovered.
The lightning seats bolt straight up to the factory holes as long as it's a single cab. I have a-pillar gauges so there not in my console, but I have a custom console I ordered online. It has a place for a headunit and plenty of other space all under key lock. I'll let you know the exact brand tomorrow. Im gonna keep my factory grey trim tho to accent the black EVERYWHERE. but my dash is black, ill upload some interior pics tomorrow if you want. Sounds like were going to have twin builds man. We need to meet up sometime and let our trucks conversate lol.. slide on in the Missouri chapter there all pretty good guys and we meet a lot.

hopefully we can use eachother as guides for our interior builds, start a dual build thread??
Another Missourian haha small world! It does sound like our plans are very similar, except mines not 4x4 sadly. I'm definitely curious about that console you mentioned...link? You wouldn't happen to have another pair of Lightning seats you could sell me would you? I looked all over google and ebay last night and couldn't find any for sale...which isn't surprising since there were only like 12k first gen Lightnings made. For audio I was thinking I'll probably run a pair of Kicker CVT 10s, or maybe a pair of Pioneer slim 10s...haven't decided yet. My favorite car audio brand is Kenwood but they dont make a slim sub unfortunately.

Im down for sharing a build thread. Progress on my end is slow though because I'm an over the road trucker so I only get in town once a month or so which doesn't leave much time for wrenching.

I'd love to see some pics of your setup

well this is my second time typing this since i'm stealing a neighbors wifi and it blows lol it was almost done too and long oh well I guess time to start over.

i'll for sure get on that link today, and ill get so e pics posted tonight. I wouldn't pick any subs over kicker any day. If anything I would take Memphis as a back up but then again im a bass heavy person but I also don't drive around listening to rap that I cant understand

As far as yours being 2wd theres no differences between mine and yours, I don't have the floor shifter so its basically the same except my little push buttom 4x4 on the dash. I think the dual build thread will work, I mean im a poor college kid so I don't get parts at the speed of light but im always wrenching because homeworks for squares lol

My interior list is as follows:
New headliner
New carpet
Finish dynomatting floor
New dash cover (cloth thingy)
LED's everywhere
white face gauges
maybe paint some trim, maybe

if you plan on doing anything different just list it down, ill start up a thread here sometime soon

Sounds good man. I listen to mostly rock and metal myself...I like sound quality, a good amount of bass without it being so heavy that it overpowers the rest of the music. My dash is gray and in good shape not cracked or anything so I don't need to replace or cover it thankfully. I would love to find a white face gauge cluster and replace all the in-dash backlights with bright LEDs but idk what kind I would need or how to go about doing that.

Do you have another set of 1g Lightning seats you could sell me? Im serious...name your price. I couldn't find any for sale anywhere and I spent hours searching last night. If I can't find a set of Lightning seats I'll end up pulling a 40/20/40 out of a crew cab and getting that recovered in black leather but I'd much prefer a set of Lightning buckets.
