has anyone done a custom interior?

all my old interior pieces are completely shot, i was just thinking about doing a custom interior but not really sure how to go about doing it. has anyone done it before? i want to give the interior a bit of a modern look to it. also has anyone swapped newer dashes into their trucks?

We are doing a custom interior in our Bullnose truck we are building for my dad. One of his other trucks is a King Ranch and he loves that look and feel. This truck is King Ranch inspired and all custom. This truck was originally blue, so we have had the plastic pieces dyed tan.

We have a local upholsterer that is doing all of the work and he has supplied everything. This is actually vinyl, but looks and feels like leather.

I did see your other pictures but the ones above really shows it off.
He did a great job on them.

Somewhere on the Forum are pictures of my '84 with an '86 Bronco interior.. I used the lower door panels..console..sun visors...and the low back buckets that I had new inserts done in cloth instead of the stock vinyl.. I think it turned out quite nice..and not overly expensive...My truck is red and the Bronco was red..

If you want to have the interior done to OE specs you can get material from this company and have a local upholsterer stich you new covers:

https://smsautofabrics.com/

You can get aftermarket seat covers and supplies for recovering seats from these places:

I ordered seat covers from Automotive Interiors. They're ok. Definitely a step above Carhartt or Wet Okole slip on seat covers; however, they aren't superb.
