Building Your Dream Ride: Part 3

For the last three editions of Building Your Dream Ride, we have discussed customizing the exterior of your ride. In the edition after the next edition, we will return to the exterior with a focus on fenders. In the meantime, this edition of Building Your Dream Ride pertains to the most important part of the truck, where you conduct your work.

Interior customization is not the part of a custom truck that draws the most attention. Most of us look at the wheels, bumper, sunvisor, headlights, and exhaust pipes of a truck and proclaim the truck a complete success. However, without a well-done interior, the driver of a custom truck will be an unhappy man in a nice ride.

The three main parts of a truck that require improvement are the driver controls, the seating, and the sleeping compartment.

The driver controls--steering wheel, pedals, switches, gauges, knobs, and shifter--are amongst the simplest to replace and the most connected to the driver. What would it feel like in your cab with an all-wood steering wheel, toggle switches, and wooden knobs looking back at you? Awesome.

 

  

Seating is essential for enjoying what you do. Let's keep it simple: a hard seat equals a stiff body

A custom interior can mean the difference between a comfortable day doing what you love and a day that you can't wait to end. Improve your interior today. Your body will thank you.
