Re: 1970 GMC Stepside Redbuild
Well got finished up installing the seats this evening. They're a little darker than they show up in the pics. Here's the pics I promised.They sit very good, plenty of leg room.

Theyre just bolted in with giant washers right now, i plan on getting a metal strip welded across which would connect the bolt holes.

Good idea. I definitely would do that ASAP. the sheetmetal on the floor of these trucks isn't very thick to start with....add 40yrs of stress/rust and they're sometimes like paper

Would hate to see you get into a fender bender and fly out of the truck...attached to your new seats

Re: 1970 GMC Stepside Redbuild
Wow guys, I never realized that I never gave you guys an update. Well I sold the truck in December of 2011, I hated to see it go but i needed something that I could afford to drive every day that was easy on gas. So yeah this truck is gone, however good news I'm currently on the hunt for a new project so of course you know its gonna be one of these trucks haha. Other good news is this summer we built a garage so when i do find another project the weather wont get in my way of progress this time. Sorry that I forgot about you guys, been pretty busy with college and such haha. Oh here's a pic of my daily driver that I got after I sold my 70.
