so i own my own business... an embroidery company. one of the first things i did when i got my truck was take it to one of the upholstery shops that i do jobs for.

they were worried about keeping the "stock look" of the headrest after re-assembly (since it would all need to be taken apart so that i could embroider the headrest panel) so be aware of that.

when i redid the interior of my '89 we had a little fun... lots of chevy logos in the cab....

this was on the door for a while....

then i changed it to this... 89Chevy....

I have a 1992 with a 5.3 LS swap. Is that center console stock or did you get that somewhere? Looking for a replacement for mine.

All these trucks are beautiful. Wish I had the time for another project.

i assume it is a stock center console - it was in the truck when i bought it (i bought the truck in '97)

Thanks i wasn't sure if they came that way since everyone i have ever seen had the bench style seats without the center console. I when i bought mine i was told the seats and console were out of a tahoe.I am also looking to doing that dakota dash new version.

***the "2500" on the door is a joke between myself and a magazine editor... said he couldn't run a feature on my truck unless is was a 2500, so i swapped out the 1500 piece for a 2500 piece - ha! ha!

i also dropped in a digital dash from dakota digital. i like what is in there now, but they've come out with a new version that i really really like and will get at some point...

new version:

also added an overhead console.... (uggghhh... i remember doing the install that day - it was pretty HOT!!!)

WOW! That is Efng awesome. I especially love the hood! Great job.

I did the design and had a shop stitch it for me. I'm having them do two more in dark red to match my Siren Red Tintcoat vehicle color.

Looks great, wish they were not 3500 miles from me, would hit them up to do mine

Post the Red ones when done, and the name of the shop, free advertising for them.

I'd love to have either Z71 or Trail Boss on the head rest...

I was talking to KatzKin leather the other day and they are not authorized or something like that to do the Trail Boss...I'll have to ask about the Z71
