Interior Upgrade (Lucky and Cheap!)

Sometimes, you get lucky. Found this on craigslist for cheap.

BEFORE:






AFTER:





Now it's not perfect - I'm not crazy about the color combo - but it's a million times better than the worn out stock seat, and the price was right.

I still can't get the circlip out of the driver's side door handle, so that panel isn't on yet. But the ride is so much nicer without seat springs poking my posterior.

Cloth has got to be a whole lot more comfortable in the summer! I think it looks pretty good, as long as you're keeping the truck red.

Thanks guys, I'm pretty happy with it. The seller had the seat, armrests and door panels up for $250. I couldn't let it go. The seat is in excellent shape, it looks and feels like new. Like I said, I'm not crazy about the color combo, but it has given me some ideas about where to go with the truck in the meantime. And she's a lot more comfortable RIGHT NOW.

It actually took me longer to drive up and back to the seller's house than it took me to install the seat in the truck.
