Picking out the Upholstery

Tonight Jen and I met again with Monty our upholsterer.. He had some great design ideas to share with us as well as some more leather samples to look through. We're pretty excited to work with him. He knows his stuff really well. I can't wait to see how the interior turns out.


This is the color combination we're leaning towards right now.. The deep colors in the leather and carpet should really bring out the candy apple red paint color.

This is a door panel example that Monty created for us that shows what the door could look like. I like how the lines of the arm rest continue to flow through the panel.

Here are some of the color combinations we're looking at right now. Its really hard to imagine what the interior will look like from a 1" x 1" square of material.

Now that we've done our research, we need to finalize the colors and get a new seat!

This week we're going to be looking for a '95-'99 Chevy Silverado or Suburban bench seat. I want the truck to be able to have room for 3 people, so a bench seat with fold down arm rest would work out perfectly.

  1. Is the 58 wide enough for a big pickup like a suburban?

  2. Pickup?? Are you commenting on the width of the cab -vs- width of the seats from a suburban?
