1968 Deluxe Interior Package (El Camino Kit)
The 1968 Deluxe Interior Package for the El Camino is a comprehensive, bundled restoration solution designed to completely overhaul a weathered cabin back to factory-original specifications. By sourcing these components together as a single master package rather than individual pieces, restorers ensure matching material grains, identical dye lots, and seamless installation across all major interior surfaces. [1]
Premium reproduction kits, such as the master package configured by Ausley’s Chevelle Parts, typically retail for $950.00. [1]
What’s Included in the Core Package
A standard deluxe transformation kit bundles all primary high-wear upholstery and structural interior trim pieces into one shipment: [1, 2]
- Front Seat Upholstery: Premium vinyl replacements tailored exactly to original factory sewing patterns. These are customizable based on whether your El Camino features a factory Bench Seat or Strato Bucket Seats. [1]
- Deluxe Front Door Panels: Styled to replicate the factory upscale look, complete with correct horizontal trim lines and texture groupings. [1]
- Molded 80/20 Loop Carpet: Pre-formed automotive flooring with integrated heavy jute backing to simplify insulation and drop-in fitment. [1, 2]
- Tiered Headliner: Restores the overhead cabin space, customizable based on your vehicle’s specific framework (available for both 5-bow and 6-bow 1968 roof support configurations). [1]
- Rear Package Tray/Trim: Finishes the tight storage area directly behind the seats against the back window glass. [1]
Factory Color Options
To match your vehicle’s original firewall trim tag or accommodate a custom color change, the kit is manufactured using correct period vinyl shades: [1, 2]
- Classic Tones: Black, White, Pearl, and Saddle.
- Metallic & Period Correct: Bronze, Gold, Ivy Gold, and Light or Bright Blue.
- Vibrant Options: Red, Aqua, and specialized 1968 Blue. [1]
Installation Customizations & Add-Ons
When ordering a deluxe package, you will need to specify a few details about your vehicle’s current build, along with optional installation hardware: [1]
- Fastener Packages: You can choose to add on a dedicated 1968-69 basic interior screw kit to replace rusty or stripped original cabin hardware.
- Upholstery Tools: Optional inclusion of professional hog rings and specialized installation pliers to stretch and secure the new seat skins over the inner frame wires. [1]
Are you restoring a Malibu trim level or a factory SS 396 El Camino? Let me know:
- If you have a 4-speed floor console (which requires a different carpet cut)
- If your current seat foam is degraded and needs to be replaced alongside the new upholstery covers
