Seat is done! I need a tilt!! more pics
That is a tight fit between the wheel & seat!! But I believe I can deal with it. I like the factory wheel. Backed it out and hosed the dust off just before nightfall.

Seat looks great. Did you do it yourself or have it done?

Re: Seat is done! I need a tilt!! more pics
that does look good.
I wish they made the stock style wheel, but in a smaller diameter... 15 or even 13 inch. I'd consider installing one of those. |

Re: Seat is done! I need a tilt!! more pics
I wish they would have put smaller wheels on the power steering optioned trucks, since you really don't need a 17" wheel. For a manual steering truck, I would not trade it as the larger wheel made it easier to turn, especially when stopped or moving very slow.
Nice truck BTW.

Re: Seat is done! I need a tilt!! more pics
Botietruck, your interior is coming along nicely and looks real nice. Here are a few "teaser" pics for you in regard to your posting title... It is not for sale as it was restored and sold to a customer in CA. I had the paint shop custom tint some ppg base to match the green repro wheel perfectly.

Re: Seat is done! I need a tilt!! more pics
Thanks for the comments! The pic makes it look closer to the seat than it really is. As far as the tilt goes, I would need a manual tilt column, you know the ones I'm talking about, they're as rare as hen's teeth. LOL.
bw4sale, I did the seat myself, I took the center passenger springs from a donor seat and replaced about 12 springs on the driver side. Installed 4 of the end spring replacements that LMC sells. I lined the back of both cushions with burlap...used the 3M upholstery glue, and then added a 1" piece of super dense foam on the top side of the seat cushion..used the same glue on that piece as well. That really made a nice firm seat. I can post pics later. Also used an old article from Classic Trucks as a reference.

Re: Seat is done! I need a tilt!! more pics
Your truck looks good. No bed? Well you're half done.
![]() On that steering wheel sizing. It seems to me there was an article in one of the mags a while back on that. It looks to be a lot of work but can be done if you just have to have that stock appearance.
