This will be cool to watch! Yeah, that interior is about right for it's age. You can find them nicer, but that looks about average. Mine was only slightly better when I bought it.

"safety pad"

Hi, good work, (and good luck)...
This is my 86 4wd "Safety pad" before and after...I tear down the cracked material and since I like the metal body of it, I just painted in flat brown camouflage rustoleum paint...

I Herculined the floor of my last truck,and it just looked terrible, and smelled terrible. I'd have it done professionaly, but that isn't in the budget right now.
Just an FYI: I used this in my 4runner not long ago and the smell only lasted for a few days. It's not my DD so I really didn't care, just left it open for a bit. Also it went on rather smooth and looks alright IMO.

Looks like a trip to the junkyard with some cutting tools is in order! Some new floor panels and you'll be back on your way.

That stuff is a lot better, and I like the smoother texture, but I've seen it turn gray after a while if it gets a lot of sunlight.
