New Upholstry on the seats!
For a few years we wanted the color of the seat changed, and now we finally did it.
This is how it was: The new fabric: Getting off the old upholstry: The beginning: The second seat is getting naked also: I'm making the buttons: Cya, Edmond Dutch Longhorn

it does match better than what you had, but wouldn't be my preferred choice of fabric, or pattern. |

Re: New Upholstry on the seats!
I bet 67-72 trucks are pretty hard to find in the Netherlands!

Re: New Upholstry on the seats!
matthufham, guess I missed the thread where we voted.
Edmond and Antoinette, great work. I know how much you enjoy your truck and how much pleasure you get in doing your own work. The console was really slick and the seats are no less. I guess I could say too, whatever floats your boat, whatever trips your trigger, but the real reply should be, whatever cushions your kidneys ! Been so busy here I have not had much time to talk with you. I will.

That's a tweeter in the A/C vent. Since the A/C wasn't working in the truck when we bought it, I thought that this was a good solution One day, in the future, I hope to have A/C, so this set-up will have to move to a different location. Quote:

too much of the precious time. Went to the annual check-up today, the garage is getting worse and worse. I didn't let them do the job on the rear axle. I didn't trust them with it. I'll do it after our holiday to Normandy, France, at the end of this month. I'm a bit scared to do it, but what can go wrong if I do it like Fred T said, right? Will mail you later buddy! Cya, Edmond Dutch Longhorn

We cut it ourself to the correct measurements. In real life it doesn't look as good as on the picture I can tell you. That's one thing we need to do, get a real carpet for the truck... But for now, this will do just fine. Thanks. Cya, Edmond Dutch Longhorn
