interior questions

i have an 85 custom deluxe, what all would i need to make it a silverado interior set up?

Silverado's in 1985 have carpet, cloth seat, full plastic pillars and trim that hold up a fabric headliner.  The door panels are fancier with a pull handle and the kick plates on the side below the dash are full that cover all the way to the floor.  The speedometer bezel has a brush aluminum face and so does the trim on the dash pad.  IMO more to rattle.  Dare to be different and go to the Scottsdale trim level, one step above the Custom Deluxe., and personally my favorite...

Thank you.  I think I might go with the Cheyenne package it has what i wanted with the headliner and carpet on the lower doors.  A buddy of mine had a 79 Cheyenne a while back I think I'm going to see if he still has pictures of the interior.

For 1985-1986 the differences between Custom Deluxe and Scottsdale are minimal.  The door pads have a black strip matching the dash insert.  The speedometer bezel is a brushed aluminum however it is darker almost a champaign colored look to it.  The seat has more padding and I believe could be ordered with cloth.  There were some options that were not available for the Custom Deluxe base trim level but dealers could add on.  This is based on comparisons to the over a dozen that I have had/sold/parted out.  Cheyenne package was neat for 1981.  It is your truck so make it like you want it.

I have plans to upgrade my 1985 C30 Custom Deluxe extended cab using door pads from a 1991 Suburban which has wood grain inserts with cloth.  I am searching for a deal on some factory bucket seats that just need a cover out of a newer (1989-1991)Suburban.  My interior is black and Chris can get the covers and extra material I need to make it appear factory.  I am also going to graft in the 1.5 DIN newer style radio from the 91 Suburban dash and find a factory Delco Bose radio found in Cadillac and fancier Buicks which I will send out and have it fitted with a MP3 jack for my IPOD.
