Interior Ideas

[powerSmokin]

So I am backing off of buying another newer truck and would like to update the interior in mine. The truck is a extended cab shortbed 5spd.

The current plan is:
gutting the interior
New carpet
Sound deadening
Higher quality speakers
1 8" sub
Reupholster both front and rear seats (40/20/40) in the front
Short throw shifter mod also since I'm in there.

I need some opinions and possibly pics on interior color and material, it currently has the gray interior styling (haven't seen a different seat color that looks decent). Should I stick with cloth or go with a different material?

Opinions and thoughts are appreciated!

I am in the same boat... I sold my center console last year to motivate me to do a custom center for 2 10" subs and that never happened...

I have always been a fan of black 08+ front seats... I think LMC sells a carpet replacement if I could get black I would.

I am also gray and after 200k miles and 2 young kids my carpet is dingy.

I like the obs seats because they aren't super firm like the newer trucks. It's cheaper for me to completely redo my old seats or a set of captians chairs. Newer truck seats round here are too damn expensive!

I want to do captains chairs all around too including dual 08 consoles but a set of seats and consoles will run 5-10k. :shocked:

I found a pair of obs captians chairs from a member on another site. Waiting to see what he wants for them, he would have to ship
Them from Kansas to Wa so it may not be worth it when it comes to that deal.

I favor the obs seats because they are so dang comfy. To me it seems like
The newer truck seats are more firm.

Are you redoing the seats yourself, or having them done by someone? I'm looking to do the same on mine, and was wondering approximate cost

 

[powerSmokin]

I'm prob going to have someone do them since I want them re cushioned but if it's too much I may just do it myself.

I think the super duty 7.3 seats are the best. Cloth makes a difference too

I would much rather a rubber floor, nicer to clean and will not hold moisture. Sound proofing is a good idea I used the aluminum backed rubber roofing stuff then overlaid it with close cell foam carpet underlay. Also install foam backer rod in the door seals makes for a quiet ride. Last thing my sig truck came from the PO with a overhead shelf above the dash full windshield width. I really like it for storage of a host of stuff.

Thanks for the pic and the rubber/vinyl floor never had crossed my mind. Good idea, I may end up doing that.

Not a very good picture, but it really goes great with the grey interior, my friend has a single cab with buckets and it looks even better, I may actually buy the buckets off him for 125$ he custom made ext cab seats to work for it

I have been actually looking at the Ford Aerostar captians seats which have a different head rest design but are almost exactly the same.

Here is a pic off an ad on craigslist for an Aerostar and it just happens to have a shot of the seats.

Those are sweet! What do they come in stock?

I worked at an oil change place for a while. Pretty much any thing 05 and up has awesome seats. Even things like newer Nissan SUV are something I would swap in. Also, of you do get something newer, go for heated seats. They're worth it!

Actually stole that picture from jwlaundry, but they are the original seats in my brothers obs

Those are corbeus? They remind me of f150 seats. I will be make a center console myself which will have a 10" sub integrated into it.
