Decided to change my very dated tweed interior in my 79 truck.

I generally hate non-stock interiors but that is awesome! Very nice.

They are factory door panels sprayed to match the seat center color . I made the upper and lower insert and covered them with same dark vinyl as the seats. The seats made by Flex-Steel and are no longer in production (they are about 15 years old). I had a local upholstery shop recover them

That is just gorgeous!!! My '87 has the tweed look and for now it has to stay until the puppy calms down...I would rather cover the seat in cardboard and let her work her claws on it when she rides with me. I like your dash layout very much and will work that into the big picture as I can.
