It took me awhile to get the interior woodwork how I wanted, but when it was time to do the upholstery my Blazer went to Arroyo Bros. Upholstery in National City. Right away they pulled apart what I had done, and re-did it professionally. |
||||||||
One of the problems they solved was that of making the panels removable.
There was no doubt that I would need access to the air tank, speakers, wiring and bolts over time, so these guys at Arroyo's built panels that attached with clips and could come out in one piece. |

Here you can see that the panel comes out clean and in one piece. They also laid foam to sit under the vinyl that covers the wheel wells. | |||||||
I also had them remove the head rests from the back seat, and re-do the back side in matching vinyl, since it had originally come with gray carpet. | ||||||||
In goes the carpet. This was a weather resistant marine carpet, I told them I didn't want it turning green in 6 months, so they went out of the way to special order this stuff. You can see the amp installed that powers my sound system. They made a small cover for the front end of the amp so you can't see it under the seat. | ||||||||
Here is a picture of the panels out of the truck. You can see that they come out in one piece. I was really impressed by this design.
The way I had set it up it was like a puzzle, and it took at least 45 minutes to remove the panel, and the screws were all exposed. |
||||||||
Notice how they ran the stitching along the sides to match the front door panels. This kind of attention to detail really sets it off. They did a great job on my truck, working with me and what I had already done to make it just like I had envisioned. | ||||||||
All ready to go, and I even set in the restored original console made special for me by my friend PT at the 67-72chevytrucks.com board. | ||||||||
I replaced the cheesy seat belts the PO had installed and got a nice set of black original seat bealts. The back seat came out super, to say the least. I highly recommend Arroyo Bros. Upholstery to anyone who needs this kind of work done.
