"Queen of Interiors"!! ha! I LIKE it!
<b>paul</b> good luck on your interior reno. Keep an eye out for bargains and those half price days at the JY and look around for good deals on the web.

Dont forget you can get some surprising things like decent carpet from the yards' trucks. And you can always go with a bench cover to tide you over until you get your buckets.

A "project truck" is rarely a quick project.

A couple guys did silver.

When I painted my old gauges I actually did blue letters.

you could paint your truck for the price that your going to spend on your interior, you need a power sander for sure....

dollar for dollar your truck would look better painted.

Make sure you consult the gauge painting thread,as some paints won't adhere to the gauges.I and most everyone else used Appliance epoxy.Take your time,and you'll have an awesome result.
