1991 Crew Cab Short Bed Build
I'm not as organized as most of your builds and definately not as good at pics but here's my build...
I bought this pickup with the idea of going through every single nut and bolt. So far I've stayed to my word. http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a59...nCrew/0001.jpg http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a59...nCrew/0009.jpg http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a59...nCrew/0008.jpg http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a59...Crew/0027c.jpg http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a59...w/IMG_0314.jpg http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a59...w/IMG_0315.jpg ...more pics as I organize them |

(man, I thought I was really documenting my steps, I give it to some of you, it's really hard and time consuming documenting your builds well)

Re: 1991 Crew Cab Short Bed Build

Re: 1991 Crew Cab Short Bed Build
1968vetL-71: I was going back and forther on keeping the two tone. I liked it, but at the end decided to go all black.
Telecasterjoey: Not an LMC dash, in that box was a dash cover, glued it on my original dash and just couldn't get myself to use it (didn't fit right etc...). Reading around on this forum it sounded like people have problems with quality and fit of aftermarket dashes so I bought an original gm dash from Classic Industries. It hurt the wallet, but I love it. I didn't want to look at something ugly or messed up everyday. |
Re: 1991 Crew Cab Short Bed Build
taking a closer look I think that is the 're-covered' dash. I have pics of new dash somewhere...
|
Re: 1991 Crew Cab Short Bed Build
New dash all in. All the woodgrain is brand new too.

Re: 1991 Crew Cab Short Bed Build
I used RAAmaudio for sound deadener. I used RAAMmat and Ensolite through the whole cab. What a difference so far, and the door panel and healiner are not in yet. The Ensolite (foam matting stuff) seems to make more of a difference than anything. The bottome of the cab was also undercoated so I'm hoping this cab is QUIET!

Re: 1991 Crew Cab Short Bed Build
Nice work man love the truck!
|
Re: 1991 Crew Cab Short Bed Build
Dash looks great! I was hoping you found a cheap good looking dash but I guess you gotta pay for quality!
|
Re: 1991 Crew Cab Short Bed Build
Found a few more pics of seat install. These are 'take outs' from brand new Honda Odyssey's. A conversion company in Phoenix pulls them and a guy sells them from his backyard. They fit great and color matched perfect.
Also spent a bunch of quality time with my seat belts. Laundry soap and hot water did wonders. http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a59...nCrew/0043.jpg Should've cleaned up the welds a little better but it's under the seat anyway (still bugging me that its under there though!) http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a59...nCrew/0042.jpg http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a59...nCrew/0040.jpg http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a59...0610-00164.jpg http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a59...w/IMG_0127.jpg http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a59...w/IMG_3214.jpg |
Re: 1991 Crew Cab Short Bed Build
Those seats look great in there. Maybe you could get either grey or black vinyl and cover the sides of your seat bracket. It would cover the welds, and look like it was made as part of the seat. You have a great looking truck. Love the colors.

Re: 1991 Crew Cab Short Bed Build
I want your truck so bad, it looks amazing great work.
|
Re: 1991 Crew Cab Short Bed Build
Love the dash! What is it out of? I haven't seen a tach dash for a 91' and would love one for mine. I know they went to the electric speedo in 91 so any info would be fantastic! Again.... Amazing truck!!!

Re: 1991 Crew Cab Short Bed Build
very sharp! i've been keeping my eye out for a good clean cclb frame and cab to get started on a ccsb....one of these days i'll get one built.

Re: 1991 Crew Cab Short Bed Build
Don't want to clutter up your thread, but any more info on the tach/fuel combo would be great. That site posted did nothing for me. Thanks!!

Re: 1991 Crew Cab Short Bed Build
Try this link...you have to be pretty patient if you order one. I waited over a month. Some trimming to the gauge bezel and run a tach wire and you're all good. Lmc sells a tach now too

Re: 1991 Crew Cab Short Bed Build
I think I found the place I want to have paint my pickup. Has anyone heard of Monster Paint FX? I was feeling a little burnt out, but got over the hump and I'm ready to paint and finish putting the interior in.
Last of the two-tone pics....Hopefully http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a59...psab8d9e02.jpg |
Re: 1991 Crew Cab Short Bed Build
Very nice, it looks sweet now. It'll just be that much better once repainted!

Re: 1991 Crew Cab Short Bed Build
I had the carpet in the door panels replaced with leather to match the new seats.
I have new woodgrain inserts and it looks like the map pocket will need some love (it looks old and dirty now too) http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a59...ps842fbd8a.jpg http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a59...psd7109672.jpg |

Re: 1991 Crew Cab Short Bed Build
Looks like they are making great progress! Nice interior restoration parts too!

Re: 1991 Crew Cab Short Bed Build
I just kept searching the internet.
The NOS bezel was from someone on this site. The NOS dash piece was found at vintage parts inc in Wisconsin. The drivers door was found at a dealership in Texas. The passenger side door was actually cut from another NOS dash piece because it does not exist anywhere! I bought most of this before prices went through the roof on NOS parts. Everything except the last dash trim piece was priced at normal dealership prices. It would really bum me out if aftermarket started making 89-91 trim after the fact! |
Re: 1991 Crew Cab Short Bed Build
Man, this truck is gorgeous. I gotta move to AZ, y'all got somethin' goin' on down there! Just beautiful.

Re: 1991 Crew Cab Short Bed Build
Thanks everybody. I'm finallly getting close.
Here are shots of the door trim finally done. Old: http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a59...ps9358e5df.jpg New: http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a59...psaaf7a350.jpg |
