Project Grande Slam: Coley's Hot Rod Shop

[CC69Rat]

Thanks for all the compliments. I'm pretty stoked about getting it finished up. I just need to get door panels and upper trim and I think the interior is close to finished. Tank cover, maybe new door handles, etc.

Keith, the driver's side brackets are from an original bench seat. The seat was lowered (pretty sure) he told me .75 in the back and 1in in the front .. maybe vise versa. Dad did it, honestly I'm not sure.

The billet adapters are cut from three seperate blocks at .25" height per block. His thinking being the more blocks you add, the lower the seat goes. It's pretty cool actually. I think maybe the original truck brackets were adjustable (?) Not sure .. but just a lowered seat height for me helped more than anything. Adjustability just because we wanted to try and make it work. I'll try to get some pictures.

I'm going to pick up some SPAR varnish tonight and we'll work on the bedwood and some minor rust repair tomorrow. We just need to get the bedsides and tailgate ready for paint and throw it all back together. We have polished stainless strips for the wood floor, I bought from Mike Losh when he went to hidden fasteners.

Should be pretty cool when it's finished.
I'll post pics as we progress.
