Those are 67-68 buckets Alexis. Between these and the utility seats, I think that they are the most confortible seats... WES www.ClassicHeartbeat.com

Just shows how much I know

I like how wide they are, make them seem more of a luxury. Well I guess I'll stick to the normal bucket that I have.

Thanks for all of the complements. I realy do appriciate it.
bstack, The color is 2000 to 2004 GM Pewter and kingsolver72, these wheels are 2004 Silverado wheels. Thank you for asking. Canadian694x4, Thanks for the compliment on the ash tray cup holder. These are extreamly easy to install and I couldn't be happier with the fit and appearance. When the cup holder is closed, you can't even tell that it is anything other than an ashtray...

How the heck did you pull that off? Did you have 'em machined? I thought the hub hole was too small on the newer wheels.

It is, on the 6 lug wheels. These are 3/4 ton with 8 lugs. The fit is great on these, it is the center caps that is giving me fits...lol I will work something out though. WES www.ClassicHeartbeat.com

Looks sweet. What is the story behind the name "garden truck" though?

The garden truck is what I call the truck that we use around here for just about everything we do on the property. If I need to haul the John Deer to the shop, I use the "Garden Truck", if I need to haul some gravel, I again use the "Garden Truck". I guess it got started when Grandma needed to borrow one of my trucks to haul some dirt for one of her several flower beds and vegitable garden. She needed to borrow one so much that I wound up buying a 67 3/4 ton 2X4 that she could use any time she needed. Well that is when I started calling the ole 67 the "Garden Truck". Well when this 4x4 came into my stable, I decided since I have most everything to restore it, and that this would be a lot better to have as a garden truck than the ole 67 is. (Seeing how it has the larger rear window) It will be a lot easier to drive than the 67. I like looking over my shoulder to watch for traffic on the freeway, and with the 67 all you see is the big cab corner...lol Anyway I decided to restore this 4x4 and use it as the "Garden Truck" and sell the ole 67 to someone who wants a realy nice 67. The 67 has had many improvements also, like a 72 disk brake front end, power brakes, and power steering. I even changed out the rear end to a Dana 60 possi / 3.54 ratio to improve on gas milage and it is an original V-8 truck. It had a 4 speed transmission when I bought it, but now it has a T-350 automatic, with an automatic steering column from a 72 chevy truck also. WES www.ClassicHeartbeat.com

Those seats look great, did you use the reproduction pieces to restore them or is that work done by an upholstery shop?

Yukon, I was realy fortunate when I found these, or should I say, they found me. They came out of a low milage 67 and the original upholstery was in great shape. The foams are near perfect!! I just covered them without any repairs necessary.. WES www.ClassicHeartbeat.com

That truck looks awesome and about the color I was thinking of doing mine. I was gonna use mineral grey, Ford Mustang color in 2003.

Two problems I have with your cup holder, where do I put my ciggerette (sp?) butts and how do I change the station when my soda is there?
(just busting on you, great idea)
