We went to Wichita Falls for my mom's birthday on Friday night and got up early to hit a couple junkyards up there along with a flea market. The market usually brings in a good crowd for truck seats but nothing today. So we drove to a couple yards and all were closed or shut down. I finally was about to turn around until I found a sign for a yard I hadn't ever seen before. We got out and asked the guy if he had any seats for my truck. He said not really but go have a look. This place has somany 73-87 trucks and suburbans I was drooling over parts. Most were wrecked for body parts but the interiors were not bad. I found a few seats with possible chances of working but no bucket like I wanted. The ones I found were blue and bench from a crew cab with both seats in great shape. Well I was about to give up when Jennifer said let's keep looking. We were about to the front when she spotted a old 78 or so model burb. I looked in it had some aftermarket seats and the right color (tan)!! These are the 3 piece seats with the fold down console and lift up bottom underneath. I've priced these new for $600+ I was thinking I could get these and install after a good cleaning and later on redo the covers. So I see that they're still mounted with all the brackets I need to install in mine. We go and ask the guy at the counter how much for them. (I'm thinking about $100 which I couldn't pay.) He asked which one so I told him and he said $50 or $60 if he pulls them (I didn't have my tools on me nor was I going to take the truck back and get the tires flat). I told him to pull them and we'd be back. So he pulls them after we go and finish up some errands. When we come back he says there's a problem. I'm thinking what now???
