What do you guys think of my seat!?
I have done a lot of reading and not a lot of posting so here goes. I do Automotive upholstery and trim part time and wanted my truck to have a little different interior. I wanted to still retain a classic look but go a little more street rod than factory to show off my work. This seat is the start of it. The interior will mainly be black with a vinyl lined cab and red accents here and there. Also have door panels done. I used the factory metal panels covered in closed cell foam then vinyl with bright red contrast stitching following the same stamped lines as the factory. Will post a picture of them tomorrow. Going in this truck...well sort of. Its now stripped down to frame which i have restored and is ready. Also will be using a different cab because of rust in a bad place in this one. Plans are to paint white/red/white/red with full trim cheyenne super package as this truck is a factory super.

I love bench seats! Ever since I went on my first date in my truck (that has a bench seat). :-)

Looks good.

"vinyl lined cab and red accents here and there"
Red bench seat...I would continue with the theme by adding some black stitching.

Very nicely done. I myself am big on simple, subtle changes and you nailed it.

Thumps up on the bench seat, if I was to go with a bench seat I would not hesitate asking you to make me one similar to yours. The frame looks awesome too.
