1983 F150 on CL in Chicago - Restoration with custom interior work

Rembrant
This old Bullnose is not exactly my cup of tea, but somebody sure put a lot of time and money into it. They did a lot of custom upholstery work too. Again, it's not really something I'd want personally, but I have to give it a nod for all the work that was done to it.

Make sure to check out the behind the seat area.

Very slick! And, look closely at the covered dash pad.

The only thing I don't like on that interior is that it's red, but even then it's a shade darker which isn't as bad as the OEM color. Very, very tastefully done. It gives me quite a few ideas for my own truck since I really would like the interior to be a little less plain.

I wonder what carpet they went with? It looks like it fits the floor very nicely.

I agree that it is tastefully done. I'm not a fan of the adapter plate on that stereo, but the upholstery work and carpeting is quite nice.

was never a fan of the red interior but that is sharp. Especially that leather bound dash.

That's a really nice truck.  But, I'm not high on the seats and the design(s) behind the seats.
