bigarmzz · 09-02-2005, 10:14 PM

finally got in my factory bucket seats...i picked them up at a junkyard, there off a 78 i think..had to get them re-upholestered....also got the console from a suburban and color died it...

also tinted my windows....5% on the rear, and 20% on the visor, and sides

now i just need some black seat belts and i'm set...finally

Looks sweet!! How much did they cost to get redone? I'll have to get my Taurus ones redone soon in the truck.

**N2TRUX** · 09-02-2005, 11:44 PM

Dude that looks awesome. I really wish you wouldn't show me those though. I want some in my 77 so bad I can't stand it. Unfortunately my wife keeps reminding me that the bench seat is more practical for the family. Like they ever ride with me anyway.

Ok, maybe I can stand one more pic. Give us another interior shot from the front....

Looks killer.

Now all you need is some black seat belts.

You know if you got the blazer done then you could have buckets for the blazer and haul everyone around. Plus then you could put seats in the truck

Looking great man, looking great. I too have factory buckets for my truck and L-O-V-E how they look in trucks, especially with factory center consoles in them.

I am building my truck similar to yours (but I have been taking longer obviously

), and am making it a floor shift...so I also have a 4-speed tilt column (no shifter provision on the column). I think your truck would look kewl too with a nice floor shifter in there...it'll match your "muscle truck" theme.

I will save you. I will take them off your hands and you can have my bench seat and we both will be happy. At least I know I would

By the way. What is with the red seat belts. I know seat belts are hard to dye. I tried it.

woodyjim · 09-03-2005, 01:45 PM

Those really look great! Unfortunately I'm like N2TRUX and have occasional need of a car seat. Know of any 60/40 seats that would fill the bill? By the way, what wheel/tire combo are you running? Beautiful ride, man!

a28doc · 09-03-2005, 07:11 PM

Hey Kumar you need to put your hands up back away from the truck and give me the keys lmao

milehightoyz · 09-03-2005, 08:28 PM

hey bigarmzz, the seats look awesome. i remember seeing your thread on painting the truck. i dont think i ever got a reply on the questioni h ad so ill try again, how many cats of base and clear did you lay on and what grit did you colorsand with? i just did an 82 regal in black with white pearl ghost flames and went with 2 coats of base, 2coatsd of clear mixed with pearl for flames, and then 3 coats of clear. color sanded with 1500 grit, buffed and finished with handglaze and im not too happy with the finish, most people would say it looks great but im not impressed with the finish. sorry i know this is irrelevant to your thread but your finish looks awesome!

KShortell · 09-03-2005, 09:24 PM

BladeX · 09-04-2005, 11:19 AM

i think its only right that you post more pics of your truck for the people.

86swb · 09-04-2005, 01:02 PM

It would be good for America.

boxrodz · 09-06-2005, 02:15 AM

Looking sweet, bigarmzz.

As far as black seat belts go, have you tried Juliano's. They're not OEM, but they may work.

The street rod folks use them and I see their seat belts in many rods. From what I can tell, they look good.
