Hi all, new 1st gen owner as of today here looking for some advice on redoing the interior of my truck. The truck has been sitting for 5 or 6 years undriven by a buddy of my dads. I bought the truck earlier today and it needs a LOT of work. After I flush the fluids and get it running I’d like to tackle the interior, which is ruined because the weatherstripping went bad so there has been rain in the cab. Once I can move the truck to my house I want to rip out the entire interior;seats, carpeting, headliner, maybe even the dash. I want to get it all done in one fell swoop if possible(I have another vehicle to drive so time constraint isn’t an issue). Where do people get their new carpeting from? And if I wanted to change the seat out because it’s pretty worn, what would be the best choice to put back in it? I like the bench seat but I’ve considered buckets so I could try to fab up a center console for cup holders and storage and stuff, I’m open to anything. Where can I get a headliner for the truck? And does anyone know where to get and how to replace the weatherstripping on it so a new interior doesn’t get ruined right away? Also is the truck known to get warm in the cab/is is especially noisy when driving to the point that I may want to add sound deadening or insulation on the floor pan before putting carpet down? Thanks in advance to anybody that has advice.
Also is there anything else I’m overcooking interior-wise that I may want to replace down the road that I should just do while I’m into it? I’d like to hear what all you’ve added to your trucks to make it a nicer/more comfortable/ better ride.
