Tahoe seats $40
Went to a swap meet today in Stockton CA. Finally found a 18" 7-blade fan that will hopefully work. Also picked up a flywheel cover now I can give back the chromie a Chickenwing gave me. At the end of the day we took one last cruise of the swap meet. My buddy found some 50 Olds stuff and sitting amongst the remains was two leather seats with "Tahoe Seats $50" on a piece of tape. These are the seats that can be pulled out. To make it short after a lengthy conversation I offered him $40 and he hesitated until he saw the two twentys. I could not believe it a pair of new Tahoe leather seats with 3-point seat belts for $40. I already have many thoughts how to use them and the ideas keep growing. I need to get the pieces from a Tahoe that the seats anchor to. Get some adjustable sliders that can be mounted to a metal box built to fit on the cab floor and mount the Tahoe hardware to the sliders. The seats can be removed easily if I use the same Tahoe hardware. The metal box can also be used for storage. There should be approximately 10 inches between the seats so I need to design a fold down arm rest / cup holder plus a removable seat section for a third person. Hopefully this will work well. I will give progress reports as the project comes to life.
