Re: Surf Blue
Any major paint company should be able to make that color. PPG is what's on my truck though.

Re: Surf Blue
Here's the current project I've been working on for the past few days. I picked up a bench seat for next to nothing on the local Craigslist.(no it's not staying red) As soon as I got it home I started on getting it lowered down to where I wanted it. So I sectioned 2" out of the front ,and 2 1/4" out of the back of the seat brackets. It still has to be bodyworked and painted before it goes off to the upholstery shop , but here's where it's at so far. The material that I'm going to have the seat covered in is kind of edgey. I think people will look at it and either love it or hate it.
I finally got around to ordering new vent windows and side windows as well. Hoping to have them in a day or so. I'll post pics as soon as I get them installed. I've also been inquiring into getting the rearend narrowed, guess I didn't realize how much that actually cost to have done. Maybe that will be the next big project I get around to. I've called a few different wheel companies to get prices on 20x12 BILLET rims as well ,maybe in Feb. or Mar. I can have the rearend done ,and get some new wheels. Enjoy the pics I'll post more when I get more done.

Re: Surf Blue
Did you find one closer to home or take that dreaded road-trip?

Re: Surf Blue
Took the road trip to Carrolton. I guess it was worth the drive though it only cost me 30$ for the seat. Getting it recovered is where it's going to cost me

Re: Surf Blue
Heck.... The way you were talking, I was thinking an hour or two on the road. Carrolton is right around the corner.

Re: Surf Blue
I have the same style seat, except mine has the fold down arm rest. A nice seat, fits good in the cab too. Plus mine was free also, thanks to my brother-in-law. Looking forward to seeing the new cover. Can only make the truck get better looking.
