New Pics... new stuff to work on (seats!) - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

javadoc · 06-01-2008, 06:53 PM

Here's some pics of the truck after getting a set of chrome smoothies from a fellow member (thx Soba!!), and trading the buckets out of my truck for the bench out from a local guy's '60.

First the new kicks, and a peek at new the exhaust dumping under the step (yes... the oil pan leaks, it's on my to-do list):

One with my rocket sled reflected...

When I get my basement finished, I'll finally install the 3/5 drop suspension that I have in boxes. I figure the truck will look about right. I'm also ISO decent chrome bumpers.

Something's missing here!

Old Busted... really not in bad shape, just due for a rebuild:

Hint of what's to come - new custom cover from www.automotiveinteriors.com

I plan on stripping the seat frame down, repainting it, re-doing the foam and all so that the seat feels brand new. I need to get three seatbelts, if I can find a matching red. Black is my second choice. The truck currently has FORD seatbelts, what the heck?

I'm also going to finish what I started when I began applying sound deadening sheets to the inside of the cab. Plus, the dash needs attention, but that'll be a later project.

I like the way that truck looks. Nice.

greg64 · 06-01-2008, 09:04 PM

Good looking truck. Good luck with the new seat. Tony will like your colour choice!

*LILRED66* · 06-01-2008, 11:11 PM

I'm digging the red with white cap and the chrome reverse and baby moons. I also like the stock stance. I can't wait to see the finished product...keep up the good work.

javadoc · 06-01-2008, 11:45 PM

Thx for the reply. It'll be an occasional driver, but never perfect.

**scotts62** · 06-02-2008, 12:10 AM

Oh ya very nice! I had the smoothies on my truck when i got it, they look good on those trucks! Ya the seat will look great in there!

I feel the same about my truck. I also got my seat cover from automotiveinteriors.com . You picked a nice color combo Props!

**Micmac** · 06-10-2008, 02:40 PM

I like that color combo as well!

**scotts62** · 06-10-2008, 05:48 PM

OK you have had a day or two where is the finished seat??

Iron-Butt · 06-02-2008, 12:07 PM

I like the red trucks.

**ChiefRocka** · 06-02-2008, 05:22 PM

The barbed wire is a nice touch !!! I couldn't figure out what that was from the rear shot....made the pic look fuzzy....then saw it on the drivers side door open shot....Very Cool !!!

Red Trucks ROCK! - Yours Looks great.

You should get a drip pan covered with kitty litter under that engine 'til you get that leak fixed.

LOOKS NICE MAN!!! ...like the neighborhood!

soba_03 · 06-10-2008, 07:04 AM

DANG!!!!!!! that looks great. I agree with you, Chrome bumpers, get rid of that THING on the rear and replace it with a nice chrome bumper, maybe a grille... Looks great... I too dig the barbed wire stripe....

I personally like the stock stance... But it's your truck.... Keep us posted on the progress...

Lane · 06-10-2008, 09:02 AM

Nice!

Hoser's Girl · 06-10-2008, 09:30 AM

javadoc · 07-11-2008, 08:36 AM

Thank you for the comments guys. It's coming along, slowly.

Here's more after I got the seat 'installed.' I need to bolt the seat down, but Mrs. J and I went for a ride in it last night, her first time EVER in the truck. It was very cool, to say the least.

Super73 · 07-10-2008, 10:18 AM

Any idea what that factory bench weighs?
