I am looking at getting judged in the restorers class this year and would like some assistance. I cannot find anywhere a picture of link as to what the interior looked like for my '29 pickup. What pedals, carpet or rubber mat, mirrors, cloth, etc.. Does anyone have a link they can direct me to?

You need the "Restoration Guidelines and Judging Standards"

Looks like a great book, but looking at the Table of Contents and such it does not seem to have interior pictures or information.

What exactly do you mean by “restorers class?” For restored vehicles there are typically Blue Ribbon aka “fine point”, Touring, and Modified classes. You will need to meet certain basic criteria for each class.
The Judging Standards and Restoration Guidelines includes the requirements for each class and the award structure of both MARC and MAFCA. I highly recommend you purchase the most current version from either club or at the very least get a copy on the secondary market.
You will find text information about the interior for your model in this publication as well as a wealth of other information. Pictures may be found in other sources…I don’t know specifically as I’m not an expert on your model… but I know there is someone out there who is an expert.

Are you sure? That really does not align with what is on my prints. The doors, kick panels, and remaining trim panels (quarters, qtr. lock pillars, header, etc.) were all cardboard. Nothing vinyl to my knowledge.
The RG&JS book is basically a copyrighted compilation of the information found on the engineer's drawings that are located up at the Benson Ford Research Library. If there is a link to these anywhere, then it is likely an illegal posting of information. I can give you part numbers for many of the individual pieces, however to be authentic, you will need to manufacture much of the interior for that bodystyle as the materials available commercially are incorrect.
Regarding your questions about pedals, rubber mat, mirrors and cloth,
-...the pedals had a couple of versions that you will likely need to refer to the RG&JS book,
-the rubber floor mat used in the 82A was the same as open cars however the commercially available floor mats will need to be altered and canvas added to be correct,
-the only mirror available on the 82A was an exterior mirror (-nothing mounted on the interior),
-and the only cloth used was the foundation and the tail on the seat cushions, and the underside of the roof lining. No other cloth used.

Dkrahn, Your pickup has a cab which had an interior. You don't indicate which cab you have (82-A closed cab or 76-A open cab). FYI - The cabs used on the A-chassis and on the AA-chassis are one in the same.
If your vehicle has the 82-A closed cab, some information/pictures are found at:
https://aafords.com/cabs/82-a-closed-cab/82-closed-cab-details/#tv
https://aafords.com/aa-body-types/mats/
https://aafords.com/aa-body-types/mirrors/
The above links are for AAFords.com – but the 82-A information applies to the A-chassis cab as well.

Mafca has a restorers class, that differs from fine point judging. It is for cars that are frequently driven.

Actually, while Leonard’s truck does look nice, it is incorrect on many levels if being compared to what it looked like originally. The doors should NOT be covered.

Might be good, lots of volume, never seen it in person

That looks very similar to the interior of my 28ccpu. I've wondered how original it all is.....or, rather true to original. The restoration was done by a previous owner.

My restoration was also done by a previous owner. I’ve owned it since 2009 and I like the interior whether it’s correct or not. I’m not a car show guy, so correctness of the interior isn’t important.

Yeah.....that's how I feel about it, too! As long as it looks good, and not obviously incorrect, that's good enough for me. My 28ccpu is my retirement recreational vehicle, and I don't care much about how it might do if judged.....besides, it has a model B engine, so it wouldn't do well, anyway!

But, the first post above is asking about what is original, ...meaning what is correct. Do we really want to mislead him by showing interiors that are incorrect??

Point taken, Brent......but, at this point, do we know for sure that our photos are of incorrect interiors? I can't answer that question, and the OP should take whatever help we can offer, under advisement...

How about posting a photo of a correct interior? Do you have any?
