Well my kids have been arguing about rides in Vanessa ( my daughter named her) and since I could only take two people I decided to change to a bench seat. I found one on Kijiji for $50 out of a 89 chevy 1/2 ton in good shape and started from there.
The orignal seats were ok but I thought I could brighten up the inside a bit.
My friend Jody at Kustomline Trim Designs did the work on the
seat side panels visors and ceiling change.
I removed all the old seat parts which included stacks of washers
and various plumbing parts to try to level out the seats. The drivers seat foam was
starting to break down and I was getting a numb leg after a short drive.
I put down some extra insulation as well as piece of carpet for behind
the seat.
I ordered seat belts from
www.seatbelt planet.com in a yellow. This was a set
of three point retractables and a lap belt with the old style lift latches. I did not think it was
worth my while to run around the junk yard searching for a set.
The belts were $65 for the 3 points and $16 for the lap belt.
I made up a mount for the shoulder belt out of a piece of steel
with a nut welded to it. Also a hole was drilled for a rivet to hold it
in incase I wanted to remove it.
