I recently finished the 4 year restoration on my '81 Silverado. I changed the color of the interior from that old ugly dark brown to the GM neutral tan to give it a more modern, classy feel. I also got rid of the vinyl bench seats and replaced it with a tan 60/40 split bench with console from a '96 Silverado. What an improvement and it makes the ride more comfortable and relaxing
I had an 1983 GMC in same colors. It was my favorite truck I’ve ever owned. Bought it in 1986 and drove it 7 years. Still wish I’d kept it. My second favorite was a 2007 GMC Classic ( they also had the next gen in 07) brand new crew cab, I put 217K miles on it. Most comfortable truck EVER.
Great looking. My f150 94 my handles I used Rustoleum bed line coating on my handles then color matched them painted to the interior. It has a light texture to them like 600 grit paper. But dose not scratch my arm while driving and is holding up 3yrs now no problem with them. Home Depot, Rustoleum bed liner, Red label, 8.00$ a can. And ebay 20$ get a dash carpet. It will save the dashboard and no glare when it's sunny out. Best 20 I spent.
hey Bud, that's a very nice looking truck, love the interior it looks sharp congratulations on the job you are doing on it, I just bought my 1983 chevy c10 shortbed and barely starting to strip it down to bare metal. I will hopefully upload a video of mine from showing when I got it and when it was towed home and hopefully all the process. wish me luck lol...You have a new subscriber...
Awesome job young man, just a suggestion for next time, run to Wal-Mart and get a couple cans of Krylon Fusion spray paint, It's cheaper and better for plastic than Duplicolor paint, The Krylon Fusion paint is specifically made for plastic where as the Duplicolor isn't, found that out by as Bob Ross used to say by "A Happy Accident", 3 years ago I was helping one of the 16 years neighborhood girls get her first truck, an 81 Datsun truck ready for her to drive and she bought a couple cans of the Krylon Paint and it still looks like we just did it yesterday. Plus it's Paint and Primer in 1 so you only need 1 can.
Yea. My dad _technically_ gave me is 83. Only thing he said is that I can only keep it only if I get it running all by myself. This is any of our older trucks. Any one I want, if I fix em up I get to keep them. A 65 C60. 73 F600. And then two more. I havnt looked at them in detail. Only the C60, F600, and the 83 Silverado
Just got a 84’ K10 In decent shape couple months ago. Been wanting one forever. Don’t think theres a guy out there who doesn’t want one. Nice looking truck, good info and tips for the interior.👍
I thought my Coverlay dash pad was amazing!! Sure if you know what your looking at you know it's not a new dash pad but it looks great and best $130 or whatever I spent on it. Wish I did it like 10 or more years ago!
I liked the cover lay but the lmc was such a difference it was crazy. So whenever I need a quality dash I’m going to go lmc, but if it’s a quick cheap one that still looks fine, coverlay. Just from my experience. Pleased with both!
@@LoganGregory Are you talking about a dash cap, the things you glue on that are about $130ish dollars or are you talking about a dash pad that's about $350? The two are not compatible. LMC does sell a dash cap thing like the Coverlay, they also sell dash pads or new dashes.
I need 10 seconds to tell everyone something Good! I care about you as a person, and tell you that The scriptures tell us that Jesus Christ died for people's sins! Whoever will have their faith in Him, that through Him, they'll be pardoned from the Judgement of their Sins by God, will be pardoned, and will be saved! Now, being a believer, once God does a work in your heart, marking you as His Own, will bring about fruits of repentance! And you will be reborn as a new creature! Walking by the Spirit and not by the flesh (the will of your sinful self) Amen and good day 😊
Just bout a 77 c20. Where do you get parts for them? Thee are a lot of clickbait sites when you google parts for this thing. I need new seats, carpet, dash, and chrome engine trim. What are your go to sites?
Hmm for rear panels I would possibly try rock auto but I’m not sure. Lmc truck may have some suburban stuff. Quad cab Silverado models may work for suburbans too but again I’m not sure
I've got a 76 c10 pretty out of shape gonna need some flooring patches. Anybody know some videos I could get some info out of? Trying to see what people have done before I get into painting and stuff
Looks good but for $1500 in parts, carpet etc.. seems kinda high for the outcome. Dash $250, carpet $200, $150 for sound deadner. That's the major parts at $600. You mentioned you just painted most stuff and did the seat.. so where did the other $800 go?
I used a standard black paint, just purchased it from advance auto parts. It was actually the original part, just lucky it was in that good of shape, but you can order it from LMC or brothers trucks
I went to my local art store and purchased some dye, all I did was mix the dye with water and it came out decent for what it was. Next time, I will buy new seatbelts because of the quality. The dye was just a cheap way around it.
I got my steering wheel from Forever Sharp. You will also need to get the adapter for it. I believe it was serial number A01 on the adapter but I could be wrong. There will be a tab for vehicle fitment on their page!
Yea I’m trying to fix my dads 87 camaro z28 and his ‘77 Chevy Cheyenne. The truck has been sitting in our drive way rotting away and when I was a kid I nick named it “dooky brown” because it looked like shit.
@@LoganGregory Not a bad fit lol, I appreciate your reply. Sharp looking truck. I just acquired a 77 C10 w/ a 454 I'm about to restore. Best of luck to ya.
I have a few questions so recently we cleaned our 82 still all original everything but we had a bunch of stuff in the back and the paint doesn’t look so good and the back window doesn’t have a lock so what’s the best place to get parts?
Our idea of “cheap” are very different. “Cheap” to me is under 100.00. The only replacement dashboards I have found are over 300.00, some north of 450.00. And there isn’t much there for 350-400 bucks. Edit: of course, I gave 350.00 for a 1985 GMC Sierra, with a 350, 4 speed, 4wd, it runs and drives quiet nicely
@@LoganGregory the blue color you use for molding trim and kick panels etc. If you can tell me the color codes for the blue you use it will be a big help. Btw nice work.
