Old Tired Rebel I know you have seen my son's interior but happy to show others. Here's the link to his gallery as I'm having problem posting a pic on the forms. Anyone who know how, please post so others can do.

Go up to the very top of this page. Along the top you will see "Home", "Forums", "Galleries".
Hold your cursor over "Galleries" and a drop down menu will appear.
Click on "Manage/Create". You will come to a page that will have the title of your galleries.
Click on "edit" and a row of your pictures will appear.
Under each picture you will see a link that says something about "....forum codes....". Click on this link and a little box will appear.
Copy the upper link, come back to the forum, reply or start a new post, and paste the link in the post. I think we still have a test forum down at the bottom for testing if you want to try it out first.

My 86 F-250 was the base model 4x4. I am installing a gray XLT interior. I have just recently installed the woodgrain trim pieces, horn bar, tach, XLT chrome trim around the door panels, courtesy lights (by each kick panel, glove box, lighter), dual speakers / AM/FM (I have one w/ cassette I'll install later), chrome ***** (radio, wiper and light switch, heater *****). Headliner. I am almost finished w/ all the trim pieces for the interior (I removed a complete light gray XLT interior, even the gray carpet that goes behind the cab to install in this truck). I did not cut any wires, used all the factory wiring harnesses. I have excellent delux rear bumper, cargo light and sliding rear window I'll also add later. I think I am goint to install the black poly floor covering vs carpet since you can get it muddy and easily clean it. The pics show the dirt. I need to re-do the needles on the guages as they are worn and really "clean" the interior. I have a complete black and a complete maroon XLT interior I am going to install in my 85 F-350 (just still deciding which one).

PS. Forgot to add: I also will be looking to installl a tilt-column and thicker factory steering wheel. Also I added the dua speakers in each door using donor wiring and installing the rubberized piece the door and cab of the truck. The original radio was just AM and used the one speaker in the middlefo the dash.

someone needs to find frederic, i think his custom dash buildup is in the interior section, but he has several threads on building a custom dash, digital gauges, fiberglass, LCD screens, the whole nine yards, its worth doing a search for it. i don't know if he has any finished pictures, but i'd bet he'd find some... i'll PM him and let him know the post is up.
until then, here is one of his older posts, i know its a little newer model ford, but its a totally from scratch dash, so its kind of universal to the cab style i guess. Thats the basic idea i'm going for with mine, getting more fiberglass this weekend. I'll post more pictures when I can test fit.

I admire that when someone makes something unique. I am debating on making a complete guage cluster to mount in the 80-86 w/ the Cyberdyne digital guages. I'll have to search for his posts. Thanks Navy

From your before pictures those Instrument dash pieces look like the ones found on the 1982 XLS models. If they are still in good shape I'd hold onto them cause they are rare.
Your truck is looking good.
