After some test fitting/trimming the new carpet was in and I replaced the shift boot with a much nicer one.

finding a new seat wasn't easy. the vast majority had rips tears or were badly stained.

there's a few places that sell replacement headliners but they were all too expensive IMO, after a few youtube tutorials and a trip to the fabric store I had a new looking headliner with only minor imperfections. beats spending $200+ :p
Very nice, grey looks so nice in these trucks, who did you get carpet from? It looks like it laid down real smooth no wrinkles!

OC auto carpets, it did lay down smooth eventually, however it took a lot of effort. I would recommend leaving the carpet in the sun to make it more pliable.

Where did you get that shift boot? Mostly the item circled in this photo? I have the core shifter and their dust boot is crap.

hey man how's the core shifter? I personally love mine. I even got one for my 4 cylinder S-10.

Looks great! I am buying carpet from OC as well. I am getting the cutpile, but it is giving me the mass backing option because of sound and it says it lays down better.
Did you use the standard backing or the mass backing?

I used standard. I actually ordered mine from an ebay store along with whatever sound deadening/heat control mats they had, I'm not sure how much better the mass backing carpet is but my set up has worked very well.

Very nice work!!! But I do like the burgundy but I get it if smoke smell was permanent!!! It really is a big deal for non smokers but it all looks like it was born that way!!! And are those door panels a W/T truck work truck trim panels? I don’t remember ever seeing them look like that that’s all being the look of one piece. But she’s a banger! Definitely a sweet in&out ride!!! Oh where did you find that gas pedal? Was it a simple thing to swap out or modified to fit? But not that I want a footprint one but I want to do metal with rubber grips pedals for all 3 but haven’t came across anything that’s a direct swap? Here’s pic of pedals I like but are for not GM vehicle specs

Oh the pedal came from my job oddly enough; I work in sanitation and the pedal was in our "recyclables" :p anyway i just modified my throttle pedal until the foot fit on there nice, my rational was if I hated it I could just pull another one from the junk yard. so I'm really not sure about those kind of pedals, it does say "pads" so maybe they just lay on top of the metal with some adhesive?

and these are definitely work truck panels. I honestly prefer them over the ones with the carpeted cubby, they look better and provide a bit more space in the cab.

Bendable metal tabs that wrap over the pedal & the factory rubber pads.
I found that they did effect the legroom a tad. Not a biggie for me, but that could have an effect on the taller guys already sitting at the rear of the tracks.
I tried the covers without the factory rubber. Little loose on the fit. A bit of two-sided tape would probably of worked.
The set of covers I bought came with a left side dead pedal. Originally sold for a euro performance vehicle of some kind. It'll need some mods to get it in the truck. With the bracket it came with, the E-brake doesn't quite clear it.
