ok all, I FINALLY (almost) finished my interior on the truck, Here are a few pics of the work. I know there are some flaws but, keep in mind that I have never done upholstery before.
1st. is of my chain covers. next 3 are of my headliner.

lowrodderchev · 06-04-2014, 07:52 PM

Looks good to me great job man wanna come to Visalia do mine next ��

fabguy · 06-04-2014, 07:54 PM

And here is some pics of my front bench seat. Seat is from a 89-98 chevy truck. I used off white vinyl, and a faux suede for the headliner and bench. Bench is a tuck & roll and headliner is just sewn pleaded.
I almost forgot, I also made some door panel inserts...
There are some flaws yes, but keep in mind this was my 1st time doing upholstery.
Also, if your on FaceBook I have started a build page for these style trucks at : 55-59 chevy truck / taskforce builder or 55-59 chevy truck / taskforce builder join and post your threads or just pictures.
