I spent the last month or so restoring my interior. One of my main goals was to change it from Red to Black. I think the rattle can paint job turned out pretty good, but the other changes like the reupholstered seat, F600 dash panel, new repro steering wheel, new carpet and a home made head liner really made a difference. I started by tearing all the old mildewed red carpet out, only to find I had to weld in a few patches to fix some rust holes. Then, I cleaned up and painted all the interior metal surfaces, even behind the fuel tank. I still need to add a tach to the instrument cluster, but it's good enough to drive again. It feels like a new truck, and it doesn't have that old musky stench smell anymore!!!
Just to give you an idea... here's a really poor quality "before" picture.
Here's a decent shot of the whole cab interior as it stands today.
Instrument panel (i still want to install a tach).
Painted doors, including vent window frame. I purchased the metal door panels from eBay, but had to repaint them. Then, I finished the panels with some stainless steel hardware. I also bought all new arm rests, all new weather stripping and installed a little bit of sound deadener in the doors, which made a big difference in how the doors sound when closing... much more solid sounding, less tin can sound.
I purchased Ranchero50's custom billet ashtray pull and dome light. Here's a shot of the dome light installed.
I also restored my headliner by buying some vinyl from a fabric store and glued it to the old headliner (sorry for the crappy pic).
Here's a shot of the fuel tank being painted.
What'd you do as far as prep work for it?
