A link to pics of my longstep and impala wagon - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

oldcarbuff · 03-06-2003, 05:14 PM

I keep missing out when folks ask for people to post pics of their trucks. Then, just when I get everything all scanned and put on my website, I find out I did the wrong size to post anyway. One of these days I will have to read the directions.

Anyway, here is a link to my current projects: my 63 Impala wagon, my 67 longstep, my 39 Desoto, and my 66 Rambler. if you have any interest, enjoy. If not, that's ok too, lol.

oldcarbuff: Love the idea of putting a rear seat from a suburban to get a middle seatbelt and cupholder! What year Suburban's would we be looking at? I once saw a '69 with a firm lower bench seat that folded forward that looked rolled and lined? such that one could move the tank aft under the bed and then have some hidden storage!!!!!!!!!Would love a reply, thanks in advance.............theo goebel

Man those are just some sweet rides! The wagon is awesome!

Thanks for the feedback guys! Man, I love old cars and trucks--and the nice people who like them too.

My suburban seat is from a 1996-1999. I bought it from a place in Elkhart Indiana called truckandrv.com. They get stuff from conversion shops (wheelchair and custom conversions as near as I can tell). It only cost $140 and was still in the dealership plastic. I just looked and they have a leather one for $200. These seats sit really nice and fit well as far as width and seatback height. They don't adjust forward or backward though. I also had to drill some holes and use some spacers to make everything line up right. but it was hands down the best thing I have done to my truck. totally changed the driving experience.

Glad you all liked the wagon too. Nothing compares to driving a really big piece of classic American steel. Imports cower when you whip it into the parking lot, lol.
