Sadly, I'd have to get anything I found wrapped. My truck has that amazing (as a friend of mine put it, "80's **** room red") colored interior.

***** Red, either you love it, or you hate it.... there is no real middle ground with the red.... Personally, I like the red... but there are several members that have changed the ***** Red to another color interior.....

My Bronco is Eddie Bauer tan and I love it. Classy look I think. The red is different, but I'm learning to love it because of the people that see it an grimace in horror. The "Oh my God"s that I get make me love it more and more.:Thumbs Up

Whatever you put in make sure it is supported properly. I pulled a set of buckets out of my truck that I think were from a bronco to put a bench seat in. I needed the seating for kids. Well on both sides the seats were almost breaking through the floor.

Let me give another vote for the "Bordello Red" interior. It's grown on me...I prefer darker colors (dark gray, blue, or black), but I'll happily take dark red over a "light" color (tan, light gray, white) any day of the week!

Quoted for truth...I've seen this on a couple of other trucks. There's a right way to do it, and there's this way...it cannot be said often enough that installing buckets the "wrong" way can be a serious safety problem!!

Flat black two tone with the red looks good. Bruiser is still only half done, but this is when I first started it.

The Enterprise has a lot of actual wood on the inside. Center console, on the dash "shelf" and carpet on all 4 door panels has been replaced with wood. I think I'll leave it the way it is.

That does look good. I wonder how the paint would hold up to an elbow on it for an extended period of time. Or a knee against the door for the trip or two.

Very well. Once it cures on the plastic it's very durable. I didn't use the cheapo walmart junk on them, but I also can't recall what flat black paint I shot them with.

The armrests however either need done with vinyl paint or black replacements purchased through LMC truck. Paint will wear off them after awhile.

I think this is the first time I've seen OBS door panels in a brick-nose truck. How far off are the lines between the door panels and the dash? Did you have to do any trimming to get the door to close cleanly (i.e. any interference between the top front of the door panel and the side of the dash)? Any chance of taking any pictures of how they interact with the doors closed?

You're giving me ideas... :D

Very cool! Is she a Centurion conversion or similar? Those are about the only trucks from our generation I've seen with actual wood in the interior ;Sweet

I was actually looking for a Centurion truck, but it's a Western Hauler. Truck was built in Canada, made it to Western Hauler in Texas, and then apparently lived a good bit of its life in northern Ohio.
