no more buckets for me - Page 2 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

GREASEMONKEY72 · 07-25-2008, 03:14 AM

the only thing is that i sit about 2-3inches higher than before but even then its just something to get used to since i forgot to make up for sinking in the cushion before

got in it today after it sitting out and it was fine, even left it in the open sun to test out in the parking lot and it was still fine, i think its really comfortable, makes me sit up instead of slouch, just have to pull the belt tight so i dont slide to much

That seat makes a school bus seat look comfortable

.I wondered about you sliding around.It would be cool to make one using lawn chair webbing.Talk about casual.

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 07-25-2008, 11:06 AM

Pretty cool piece of work but sure makes me butt hurt...

GREASEMONKEY72 · 07-25-2008, 11:19 PM

its honestly comfortable, perfect for cruising, just sit back and relax

Keep telling yourself that. Maybe I am missing something but that looks excruciating. Not dogging your work, because I sure couldn't do it. I just don't see it being very practical.

Now you're ridin' dirty!

Dude, thats going to hurt after the truck sits in the sun for a few hours. Two more months of 100 degree heat in our wounderful neck of the woods!

GREASEMONKEY72 · 07-27-2008, 02:08 AM

already sat on it after it being in the sun and it was fine, actually cooled off fairly quick

**special-K** · 07-27-2008, 06:02 AM

Now you need a steering wheel made out of barbed wire.

Chain wheels are for wimps.

67dragtruck · 07-27-2008, 09:02 AM

You could build one like that that uses a metal frame with a sling cloth seat and it would be pretty comfy like some of the sling type deer stands.

That being said, I'm going to stick wth my buddy buckets.

bad6772 · 07-27-2008, 09:41 AM

I dig it........Great Workmanship......But IMO i would think it would be hard on the ole Arse.....If it was a daily driver......But if its comfy to you ........Rock it......

its my one and only driver

i find it more comfy than the old seats

It's got a cool rat rod feel to it, which I can tell matches the truck by the Betty and spider web on the dash. I like it, great fab skills!

big_al_71 · 12-15-2008, 08:03 AM

Looks great

Lippyp · 12-15-2008, 08:19 AM

Looks like a park bench, you might come out one morning and find a homeless person sleeping on it! I'm glad its your butt and not mine.

skydog · 12-15-2008, 12:30 PM

call that the magneto; it's a rectumfryer!

69ROTROD · 12-15-2008, 12:47 PM

My buddy's slammed S-10 has a "No Fat Chicks" sticker on it. You should put a "No Skinny Chicks" sticker on yours-she'll need her own padding.

Looks cool though. Looks more comfortable than some of the things I've had to sleep on!
