88GMCtruck's never ending 88 GMC build thread

[96-1500]

Extended cab and automatic swap...haha

Would look good though. I've always preferred the old style but I've never owned one, so maybe I'd get tired of it if I drove it/had to look at it every day.

I've owned both, and the older style is much more simplistic and minimalistic, but it has some setbacks that I could cure by upgrading.

Most notably the horrible glove box design, HVAC controls, radio placement and only a single 12v outlet. Not much I can do about any of those in this dash. The newer dash would solve them plus allow me to add steering wheel controls, upgrade to a double DIN radio, and overall have a more comfortable interior.

i like the pic you posted above. thats what i want to do with mine. get rid of the 60/40 and do buckets and nbs console. i love the grey interiors too. mines a 95. i think the grey or tan are the only ones that look good. i hate the blue and maroon ones

Are you going to keep your red 60/40?

 

[88GMCtruck]

Nope, doubt it. The driver's side is starting to wear through the fabric and the cushion is starting to crumble on the edge.

Installed my NOS GMC splash guards to replace the rubber ones.

Dat ass.

I like the caps on the wheels myself. What would you do for the front? Just cut a round hole?

 

[88GMCtruck]

Yeah just have to drill a hole with a hole saw
