I've got a 93 F150 with the tan interior that I'd like to change out completely but I've never taken on this type of job. LMC Trucks seems to have all the pieces I'd need but I'm curious if anyone has done this and how easy/difficult of a job it is. My plan is to go to gray interior with newer lightning seats. I'm an audiophile and I like my tunes when I'm cruising. I've never used dynamat or the sound deadner pads that you can get to drone out the outside noise. Can I use both or will one defeat the purpose of the other?

 

Beat me to the punch. I also want to change my interior. i have a 94 XLT standard cab with a faded red interior. I'd like to change my full bench to a 40/20/40 and change the color to dark/black/gray.

any opinions on best place for parts - junk yard / u-pull it places, ebay, online shops?

 

I've looked at some local junk yards and most of the stuff I've found is in pretty bad shape. I've had this truck for 12 years and probably won't ever sell it so if anything, I'll invest into it. Besides, I think it'll look nicer with all new interior.

 

I have been redoing the interior in my 92 changing from a faded cracked blue to a charcoal interior. Latemodelrestoration sells the plastic and viynl dies. I also sugguest learning how to weld plastic as you will not find many pieces without cracks. I have spent hours going over every inch of the dash. fixing cracks and reinforcing weak areas. One other thing prepare to spend some money if you want to do this the right way. On other thing I am doing to creating a new custom headliner, I bought the overhead console out of a 2009 which is being molded in. And to answer the question about how easy it is. Its not easy at all but its not rocket science either. Youve just got to take your time with it as well as have fun. Mine is a project truck so I need to have fun because the cost is more than the value will ever be.

Thanks for the input. I think just for the sake of doing things right, I'm going to buy all new interior pieces. Dark grey/charcoal is the color I want because it would match the lightning seats you can get through Late Model Resto. I'm even considering doing a custom gauge cluster and gauge pillar just to giev the interior at little more custom look. An overhead console of some sort is something I've thought about and I really like the idea of one. It's just finding one and making it fit.

 

I didnt realize LMC had the interior plastic pieces. I looked before and couldnt find them.

 

If you put some work into, the interior can be cleaned up pretty well. I took my seats all the way out, removed the carpet and some trim pieces off. I cleaned the seats and carpets with a pressure washer, lots of spot shot, and lots of elbow grease. I didn't particularly love the color, but I found some decent seat covers on ebay specifically for my year and model for around 40 bucks. I cleaned the trim with some special soap (I think it was Simple Green). They cleaned up pretty well, but I also bought a dash mat specifically made for my truck off ebay as well. It made it look a lot nicer. I don't know if you want to go this route, but it looks way better. My uncle salvages these old trucks and he told me finding nice interior for them is pretty tough to do, so I went that route. You can find third party seats made to fit in your truck, but they get pretty pricey. Hope this helps.
