Re: 84 Crew Cab Rebuild
Wow! That truck has been all over the world.. Very cool.
And on the seats it looks like they are some custom seat nothing that I have seen before. |
Re: 84 Crew Cab Rebuild
Your truck was a Choo-Choo Customs. They had their own seats made. Your best bet is to have a local upholstery shop try to restore them.
